In my case, I have these commands, just replace the device name:
“turn on ac1715”
“turn off ac1715”
“turn on auto mode on ac1715”
“turn on sleep mode for ac1715”
IIRC I had the same command for sleep mode, but had to change it, because it didn’t work each time.
same problem here.
also tried to scan for open ports on the device, but found none. I think philips might have killed support for local access.
This http integration (GitHub - GeorgeSG/philips_airpurifier_http: Home Assistant integration for Philips Air Purifiers) works for me… So does this mean it makes no sense to try with the more recent COAP integrations? Or is there a chance both work?
Correct, COAP is a completely different protocol and will not work. I have 4 purifiers at home, 2 coap, 2 http based.
Only recommendation I would make is to prevent the machine from communicating over the internet. This breaks the Philips app but avoids firmware updates which have in the past been known to break certain functionality.
Is there a list of compatible firmwares, just took delivery of an 1100 (AC1715) on 0.0.9 and when I try to add it to the HACS integration it just says “Cannot connect to device”
I am having the same issue. I have tried restarting HA and reconnect to the 1100 (AC1715) but still no luck. I found the IP (192.168.0.188) in my router settings and check that it was correct but I always get “Cannot connect to device”. Are we missing something?
Unfortunately, not all devices and not all versions of all devices speak the same protocol. Maybe it depends on the firmware version, I don’t know. Most connect, but some don’t. Have you tried the command line aioairctrl as described in the README of the integration? If that doesn’t work, Home Assistant will also not work. If this does work but Home Assistant fails, please file an issue on GitHub
For those of you struggling with wifi stability:
I figured it out my new wifi access points was configured initially to use one SSID for both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. It was also set up to offer WPA2 as well as WPA3.
After i created a 2nd wifi network at 2.4 Ghz and took out WPA3 it instantaneously connected and it hasn’t lost connection ever since ![]()
PS: recap: Air purifier requires 2.4Ghz and no WPA3, only WPA2 ![]()
I am looking into buying a purifier but is there someone who knows if Philips PureProtect 3200-serie AC3220/10 will work? Or is there somewhere a list of coap/http devices? It’s a kinda must for me that it will work with homeassistent
Supported models
Note: Some of these models seem to have a newer firmware that does not allow local connections anymore. If you buy the device with the intention to manage it via Home Assistant, make sure you can return it, if the integration doesn’t work for you
- AC3220
I’m looking at buying a couple of Philips Air Purifiers, the AC0950, but I see that there 2 or 3 (maybe more) integrations on Github. Which is the ‘best’ one to use?
Hi, just installed the integration for the philips air+ warmer CX5120
after providing the correct IP, HA said cannot connect
I stopped the device and retried and then it was able to connect.
works fine at first sight ,
thanks a lot ! ![]()
Hmmmm, I have a new AC4220 here with FW 0.2.3 and it isn’t connecting. It would seriously suck if it isn’t supporting local control anymore as this ability was part of the reason I bought this model…
Update: I have it working! Turned out the HA integration didn’t play nice with the air purifier being on the guest network wifi. Somehow, when initially testing for this I still got timeouts. However, when testing on whether I could read the raw data via the aioairctrl Python package I did get data when I swithced to my home netwerk wifi instead of guest wifi. After that I tried the integration and it worked with manual configuration! Why this is the case I don’t know. Although the device can’t reach HA the opposite should be possible. I suppose maybe IPV6 isn’t supported on the guest wifi on my router (??).
Maybe the same issue as i experienced?
Routers with built-in Guest wifi networks isolate all clients from all clients so no communication between clients would be possible.
If you want to separate IoT devices from other devices on your home network, you will need to set up VLANs but that introduces its own set of issues, for which there are solutions.
I was under the assumption that although a device on the guest network would not be able to reach HA the opposite should be true, as in that HA could reach the device on the guest network. But I just tried pinging another device which is cloud only on got a timeout so assumption appears to be incorrect. Still has me puzzled though why I got timeouts with the air purifier on the first try when connecting to the non-guest network. But anyhow, it’s working now
.
I just bought a AC0650. Do any one can connect to HA? I know there is the HACS Philips-airpurifier-coap But without supporting this one. does anyone have a work around?
(Ps: I have python background just new to HA and coap, If I can help )
This is not supported because it doesn’t use encrypted CoAP for local connections in the way most other devices do. It’s unclear to me if it offers local connections at all. I’m not aware of anyone who ever got it to work with any local method.
I’ve just purchased a AC3220/10 in the Netherlands, and this integration is working perfectly fine, no issues with firmwares.
