Samsung AC

Hi, How’s it going.

I’m the guy that originally broke the reliance on samsung servers back in 2014 with Daniel O’Connor, and I’ve been pretty quiet on that front ever since (I’ve simply been content to ssh into my server and run the 3 commands I need against my AC)

But now I’m back, I’ve discovered Hass (and am using it, in fact about half way though the house rewire), and MQTT.

I’m not the greatest fan of Python any more, but I’m thinking about making a MQTT bridge to cover the basic functions like on, off, mode, temperature select.

Depending on how I go, I might make a direct connector for HASS (would probably still require an external daemon)

Would anyone be interested in such a diversion?

I should add, that initially I will only be coding up support for my units, but that in theory should give us quite a bit of compatibility, as far as I know the protocol hasn’t changed much tho the handshake might have.
