The Panasonic Aquarea are one of the best HeatPumps on the market and deserve to be supported in HA as they are frequently installed in high quality homes.
The current panasonic comfort cloud provides support only for air conditioners but doesn’t work with heat pumps. The original app and cloud are very primitive and slowly working.
Hello, can you help me with the aquarea wrapper? I dont know how it works. Do you have an instalation guide. I have copied and pasted All files into config/custom_components. And also add the Mqtt Integration into ha. I have also written all the commands into configurations.yaml but the sensors doesnt work. They doesnt show me any data.
as linux - it depends on your linux distributon.
For example for systemd based systems
Details from the github documentation for running: $ PANASONIC_AQUAREA_SMART_CLOUD_MQTT_CONFIG="CONFIG_FILE_LOCATION" bin/OS/panasonic-aquarea-smart-cloud-mqtt-OS-ARCH
Run as container - for example with docker.: from the github documentation $ docker run --name panasonic-aquarea-smart-cloud-mqtt -v HOST_OS_CONFIG_LOCATION/:/app/etc ronhks/panasonic-aquarea-smart-cloud-mqtt or as daemon: $ docker run -d --name panasonic-aquarea-smart-cloud-mqtt -v HOST_OS_CONFIG_LOCATION/:/app/etc ronhks/panasonic-aquarea-smart-cloud-mqtt
When the service/container running, in MQTT server, you have to see the results. For example, with MQTT explorer it looks like this:
Please Stay on a smart cloud. we need integration that allows communication as a user, not as an installer.
I will explain why, in the smart cloud we have the option of granting access to the installer for inspection. It is very important during the warranty period. All available integrations do not allow for cooperation with a smart cloud, providing the installer with an overview.
There is already a working integration using the service cloud (such as Aquarea2mqtt) and completely working off-line (such as Goheishamon), and there is no one like yours that works like the Aquarea application.
I’ve been looking for Aquarea integration for a long time and I finally found it, thanks for the work done @ronhks.
I have the container running in docker and integrated the switches you shared and they work!!! But I have not managed to create a climate (or two, one for water and one for heating) and I do not know how I can change the temperature of the water or heating from Home Assistant, anyone has it? can you help me with it?
I would like to create a climate, but if not with being able to modify the temperatures by means of an input_number would be enough.
Do you plan on adding more sensors to the integration (if its possible)?
I have created an installer user for my air to water Panasonic Heat pump (https://aquarea-service.panasonic.com/) From here a lot more information is available compared to the app (current, power, pump speed, temperature, history etc.)
After a while setting up the docker and configuring all the different switches and sensors, I have noticed that, right now, it works better for the water because it shows the sensor, but for the air, we don’t have the inside home temperature sensor in the mqtt.
For the air, I have configured a generic_thermostat with a broadlink temperature sensor, but it would be awesome if we can get, at least, the indoor temperature sensor from the Panasonic Aquarea.
Also, it will be awesome if you can explain how to change modes for the air or if there is a vaule in the mqtt that shows it.
If someone have issues configuring this in the config files in HA, this is my configuration:
At configuration.yaml I added:
mqtt: !include mqtts.yaml #this is a call for a file named mqtts.yaml
#This is for the air, not the water, but you can create another one for it changing values
climate:
- platform: generic_thermostat
name: "Aire acondicionado"
heater: switch.aquarea_aire
ac_mode: true
target_sensor: sensor.broadlink_temperature #chage this for an indoor temperature sensor of your HA system
The mqtts.yaml file is like this:

Hi
First of all, I would like to congratulate @ronhks for a great job and the integration of Aquarea with HomeAssitant.
The above configuration.yaml examples from @ronhks and @fonso were very useful and everything works! Thanks guys.
I wanted to ask how to set the temperature using: /water/temp/set
I didn’t see an example in this topic for this option, and I’d really like to see it. Unfortunately, I’m completely new and learning about HomeAssistant’s capabilities. Can I ask for an example using this /water/temp/set - maybe there is a thermostat in home assistant or something similar to control temperature using mqtt? Thanks for help
