I tried the docker image but it doesn’t run…

169

I think we can use this to install all necessary, but time is needed to test.

Hi Petro,

@Alex_Gontmakher thanks for giving me how the docker-compose.yml file should look like :

Blockquote
hvac-ip-mqtt-bridge:
image: gsasha/hvac_ip_mqtt_bridge:latest
user: 1005:100
ports:
- 8099:8080
volumes:
- .:/config
restart: always

That said, I’m now facing an error avalanche and no connection.

the errors look like

Blockquote
2020/09/22 19:07:34 Not connected to 10.10.10.24:2878 while trying to send message. Dropping.,
2020/09/22 19:07:34 sending request to Living_ac [,
],

On the home assistant MQTT Broker I get the following error

Blockquote
1600804265: New connection from 10.10.10.98 on port 1883.
1600804265: Socket error on client , disconnecting.

Hi Jman, how did you retrieved the token? I just tried actest.py but it doesn’t work on my AC on port 2878.

I can use your command and AC responds same way, but how to retrieve the token?

Edit: Eventually I installed Homebridge on docker container just to retrieve the token. Now i can use the Samsungrac HACS plugin

Hi, I have a brand new samsung AR12NSPXBWKNAZ, and I didn’t find both well known ports 2878 or 8888.

A full slow port scan found only the following ports:

49153 / UDP / open filtered
49154 / UDP / open
49155 / UDP / open

Any idea?

177

Hi All, I have Samsung AC, but i not able to get the Token, my AC have port 8888 open, anyone can help ?

178

I have the same problem as @gcherem my Samsung AC does not have open neither 2878 nor 8888 or 8889 open. I have slightly different model AR09TXFCAWKNEU. I have tried to scan the ports for AC a there seems to be open port 49153.

However actest.py doesnt seems to be working on this port… Does anyone solve this problem for new Samsung AC units?

179

Hi - Wondering how you are finding the IP addresses of your Samsung AC units? I checked my DHCP and went line by line on the unknown items and matched MAC addresses to known Samsung MAC prefixes, came up with nothing. Sorry for the less than a technical question. Just finding this a little odd.

Hello, when I was looking to get the token. I used Debian 8.11 on which I ran Homebridge without any updates.



Then used the forked integration by atxbyea to ran the integration. Works like a charm !
181

Is there any support for AR12TXCAAWKN ? It does not respond on telnet 8888 nor 2878
nmap found only 29584/tcp opened

182

Did anyone managed to figure out the logic of MIM-H04?
It gets random tcp port(40000+) on each device reboot and has a few opened udp ports.
The random tcp port response to HTTP requests.

183

would be really nice to use the MIM-H04 too. Smart Things is soo laggy, slow and unreliable.

Helló!

Do you have got a working solution for older AC’s with port 2878?

Köszi

hello,
followed your guide, installed debian 8.11 netinstall on a VM and executed:
npm install -g homebridge-plugin-samsung-air-conditioner
and
chown -R root /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
chmod -R 775 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/

but I get these error messages and can’t install the homebridge plugin:

Also tried with an Ubuntu 1604 container, and a 2004 VM, but unfortunately with the same result.

Do you or anyone got an idea to fix this?

Thank you

Have you tried installing older node versions like 10 to 12? i think that’s what i must’ve used when i first tried it

187

sorry, i’m a noob. can you pls specify what command should i run? thanks

188

I have an older samsung AC using port 2878, which I found @peterbuga guide helpful. I too was having old SSL certificate errors and the only way I was able to resolve was as below. NOTE: I tried installing Debian, but was met with a bunch of issues getting NODEJS installed etc…

Here are some additional details on what I did if it helps others @gyiku @Nick398 @andriuskr @gyik

  1. I did this using Ubuntu v20 (although I think other versions will work too)
  2. Given the SSL errors and issues I faced I completely removed NODEJS from uBuntu with the following command
sudo apt-get purge nodejs
  1. I reinstalled NODEJS using 2 commands below
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
  1. After that I was able to run the below 2 commands and get the token without issues (despite some error warnings for the plugin install).
npm install -g homebridge-plugin-samsung-air-conditioner
homebridge-samsung-ac-get-token <your ac's ip address>

Hopefully this helps someone else. Best of Luck!

FWIW, this guide was helpful to get me going as well: Guide: Samsung A/C to Home Assistant – Creating Smart Home

Man, you rock. Really.
Finally I was able to install the homebridge plugin.
Although got some permission issues, but

npm install -g homebridge-plugin-samsung-air-conditioner --unsafe

solved that, then faced gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make.
Needed to run

apt-get install -y build-essential

and homebridge plugin was installed.
Now the family is sleeping, but can’t wait for tomorrow to give a try to get those damn tokens =)

190

Happy to confirm, it WORX!

Got the token, but struggling to create a thermostat card that works and reads out the current temperature correctly.
I have an entity came up after adding these to the config.yaml:

climate:
  - platform: climate_ip
    config_file: 'samsung_2878.yaml'
    ip_address: '192.168.1.33'
    token: 'c5c29abd-899d-40c8-9e7a-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
    cert: 'ac14k_m.pem' #set as '' to skip certificate verification
    mac: 'bc:8c:cd:xx:xx:xx'
    name: xy

but with these added, the Thermostat Card just not showing the actual temp:

However I have 3 of these 2878 units and with the exact same settings like above one thermostat is working, but the other two does not.
Any idea?

If you have a working setup with Lovelace simple thermostat card https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat could you please share that part of your config file?

Thank you
