Hey @safvan89, not entirely sure what that is about but please check

  • that you are using the latest version
  • that you don’t have more than one node connecting to the mqtt broker

Hope that helps!

hey @charutak, v1.1.1 has an input port that lets you fetch and update the device status. This with some kind of automation may help if you see a definite pattern around when this happens.

hi @milothomas i have hosted HA on windows 10 VM. presently i have esphome, mqtt broker and node-red as addons. installed mqtt broker and node red after seeing your post. so no other node making connection to broker. firewall turned off. initially it got connected but throwing this error after HA restart.

hey @safvan89, the node uses a fixed value as its mqtt client ID, so if you have multiple nodes at the same time, the broker may not like it.

Also, please see if you can connect to the broker using a client on your phone/pc to make sure that the setup is good.

You could also change the log level to DEBUG and see if there are any details that might help.

@milothomas hi, finally got it working. Hosted HA on old zotac mini pc and problem automatically got resolved.

That’s great, but any clues on what the issue was on the VM?

Hey, @milothomas I looked through the Node_RED code. Would you like to collaborate on building a HomeBridge plugin, and a native HA plugin based on your Node-RED implementation?

Hey @milothomas

Awesome! Thank you very much. This was my first Node-Red integration and it worked smoothly.

Thanks a ton. Cheers!!

The app can show the power consumption of the AC. Is it possible to get this into home assistant as well?

Hey, an update has been published. Sensors for daily and monthly power consumption added.

Thanks to @milothomas for his contribution in node-red plugin.

I was able to get all the controls of AC working and dumped the payload by subscribing to control topic of MQTT broker.

I have created native HA integration Kir4Kun/ha-miraie-ac (github.com).

You don’t need to setup Mosquitto Broker and node-red plugin anymore.

Copy the miraie folder from custom components and paste it into /config/custom_components of your HA installation, after that restart the system and also clear your browser cache.

Then you can add miraie integration from Integrations page, you need mobile number (with country code) and password for the log in.

It will automatically detect all the devices and add it to your home assistant.

This integration is in very early stage and I also a very beginner python developer. For feedback and suggestions please open the issues on Gthub page.

Thanks.

Hi @drhk10, I have created a homebridge plugin for MirAIe panasonic AC. It is working like a charm. See if it can help you.

Hi All,
