Yuddy,

Mobile app mate.

Hi @Bunny how’d you go with all this?

I’m ashamed to say I had no idea how to do the modbus stuff so I just left it.

I noticed the airtouch is now on IFTTT.
They seem to have many options like setting temperature, fan speed, mode and opening/closing zones. That’s pretty much everything we need but I don’t love this going through the net.

I think airtouch 2, 3 and 4 are covered by this:

Airtouch 2 now says it supports Google Assistant, Alexa and IFTTT

I have just installed an Airtouch 4 and have basic usability with IFTTT but would much prefer a non-cloud solution. When I was hunting around I found that somebody in the HomeSEER forums got hold of the Communication Protocol Documentation from Polyaire. I have had a little bit of a play with it NodeRED, but I am way out of my depth!

It can be found here: https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/thermostat-hvac-plug-ins/thermostat-hvac-discussion/1318292-expert-opinion-please-a-c-integration-document-direct-api-control

Hi all, I’m about to get ducted AC installed and was considering the Airtouch 4 system. I’d like to be able to monitor and control the AC via home assistant rather than IFTTT. Has anyone had any luck with this?

27

does HA have an integration? i didn’t see one. What is the brand of AC you are getting. i noticed Daiken works with HA but as i am in Australia there are not fitted for IP :frowning:

28

I’m also in Australia and have been quoted Daikin AC with wifi module. I like the additional zone level temperature control the Airtouch 4 can provide, but still want to be able to monitor and control it from HA. There is no Airtouch 4 integration in HA that I know of, but @holsty mentioned the communication protocol was released by Polyaire so I was hoping someone might have figured something out? Airtouch 4 is also google assistant compatible if that provides any additional avenues for integration (I’m relatively new to HA)?

29

cant you just use the Daiken integration already in HA then? Was that an add on module? Can you share any details?..opps just re-read that…you want remote individual zone control…me too

I’m running hoobs in a docker with an Airtouch 4 plugin. This effectively turns the Airtouch into a HomeKit product that can be added to HA via the homekit intergration.

It has been working really well with full zone control etc.

I have developed a local integration + custom component for the AirTouch 3 panel

I have been using it now for over a month and its working much better than before when automating via IFTTT. Having said that it still needs a lot more testing especially with different configurations.

Looks like a good solution, thanks @holsty.
@ozczecho nice work with the api! Do you think the API for air touch 4 would be quite similar… I’ll have my air touch 4 installed in a couple of weeks and could try it out.

33

@Paulbunyan - Not sure TBH. I didn’t have much luck using https://github.com/mihailescu2m/homebridge-airtouch4-platform with my AT3. Let us know how it goes.

34

Great work Ozczecho.
I will now wait for confirmation from @Paulbunyan before placing an order.

35

Will this work with AT2?

36

Hi @Yuddy - I am not sure. I have an AT3 unit, so it is only tested against AT3.

It should not be too hard to try running it against AT2. Clone the repo, set the config relevant to your system, run it and then paste the following http://localhost:5353/api/aircons into a browser (assuming you are running the api on localhost). That call will return a json object with the current status of your AC unit.

37

Ok cool I’ll give it a shot and get back to you thanks.

38

I’m building a new house and it will be coming with AirTouch 4 - So I’m super keen to see this progress!

Hi,
I would like to try this out. What is the easiest way to get it working?
I have HassOS installed on a VM in proxmox on an intel nuc.
I think that running it as a docker container in proxmox is the right way to do it but I have not used docker before…

40

I’m also looking for some integration with AirTouch 4
I have a current mix of AirTouch4 Upstairs and split systems downstairs using Panasonic Comfort Cloud. I would like to make a layout to integrate with both in the 1 face

41

Hey mate, how’d you go with the airtouch 2? Did you successfully retrofit the AT3 integration?
