Dear

I’m new on this and trying to run Confort Cloud, for now its good but I miss an entity to toggle between preset mode - eco, boost, none.

How can I do it?

Thanks in advanced fo the excelent integration.

Hi,
I would recommend you to use a thermostat card instead of the entity.
I personally use the Simple Thermostat card https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat its available through HACS.

MPC · January 15, 2021, 4:23pm

Dear,

That’s awesome, thanks

Nevertheless if I want to create some automation to control the preset, I can’t go with the card, I would need the entity. Is this correct?

If yes, is it possible to create it? and how?

Thanks again for your answer and support.

Regards

Of course, you can make automations that changes the preset by calling climate.set_preset_mode with something like
entity_id: climate.kitchen
preset_mode: eco

But you can also use a blueprint to make it easier https://community.home-assistant.io/c/blueprints-exchange

hello, once again thanks for the support.

this weekend I’m trying to upgrade and activated YAML mode for lovelace, and now, the simple thermostat doesn’t work.

“custom element doesn’t exist”

Do you know why?

thanks again

regards

hello, done. I’ve discovered that was needed to add ressources in configuration.ymal

I want to thank you for this awesome Integration! I’m glad we have such an active userbase making all this possible! Could you provide me how this works behind the scenes? Is this a cloud based integration? Or will this work when ha is offline? Thanks for the info

sockless · February 8, 2021, 5:28pm

Hi @sygys, glad you like it
The integration is using the Panasonic comfort cloud API, so it’s going via the cloud (so it will not work offline).
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to access it directly.

EDIT: This has been solved. I had to move my VM on which the HA OS runs to a bridged network connection, moving it to the same subnet as my host PC.
I’m leaving this here, in case others run into the same issue.

Hi,

I’ve recently started using HA, in order to be able to automate my Panasonic air-air heat pumps. For that I am trying to use this component. It is however not showing up under integrations I can add to HA, after have restarted the HA server.
I do however get a warning in my log, which I thought you would like to know about:

Logger: homeassistant.loader
Source: loader.py:802
First occurred: 2:59:41 PM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 2:59:41 PM

No 'version' key in the manifest file for custom integration 'panasonic_cc'. This will not be allowed in a future version of Home Assistant. Please report this to the maintainer of 'panasonic_cc'.

I doubt that the above warning is the reason behind the component not showing up as an integration, despite HACS seemingly having installed it correctly.

Is there any guidance you can provide, in order to get the component to show up as an integration, so I can start using it?

Regards,
EmjayHA

sockless · March 5, 2021, 5:29pm

Hi @EmjayHA glad to hear you got it working!

The warning is new for HA 2021.3 I will release a new version to address this issue.

I have the same error, any ideas?
Have you been able to solve it?

Panasonic is blocking everything not being App

It’s solved in v1.0.30

Hi, I am unable to find this integration for some reason. How can I add it to my HA ?
Sorry, if it obvious.

Xaphier · June 9, 2021, 4:05pm

Thank you for this great integration, working flawlessly with my Panasonic air conditioner.

I am trying to do something similar for Panasonic ceiling fan as well, which is using different app entirely, but probably something similar with Comfort Cloud, considering it is using the same Panasonic account login. This is my first time trying to create an integration, could you tell me how did you reverse engineer the API out of this closed system? Did you just sniff the network packet from the app using Wireshark, or is there an easier way? What is the format of the API?

Thanks for the info, cheers!

bym007 · June 10, 2021, 8:24am

Using SSH instructions on Github, I was able to get the code downloaded, restarted HA, and when I search to add Panasonic Cloud Comfort in Integration, nothing comes up.

Yet my SSH shows the files were downloaded and installed without issues.

Can anyone advise, how can I find it in Integrations please? Thanks in advance.

sygys · June 10, 2021, 8:38am

try another browser. there is a strange cache problem in which when home assistant is loaded some changes cant be seen. I had the same problem. I opened HA in another browser and that did the trick. You can also clear the cache in the settings of your browser but that didnt help in my case

sygys · June 11, 2021, 6:19am

Again there are problems with the ac. It’s not reacting so I guess again something has changed on the Panasonic server side. Hmm Panasonic app isn’t working either. It’s giving the error I ternal server error. We really really need a local solution I’m getting fed up with this cloud based garbage
