Silencing Gree heat pump beeps in Home Assistant (local, no cloud, Scheduler-friendly)

Hi everyone :wave:

If you are using a Gree heat pump with the official Home Assistant Gree Climate integration, you probably know this issue:

:point_right: Every temperature change causes a loud beep
This becomes extremely annoying when using:

  • Scheduler Card
  • automations
  • frequent SetTem updates

There is currently no option in:

  • the Gree remote
  • the mobile app
  • Home Assistant

to disable this beep.

I have created a GIST to document the solution that I use : Remove annoying bip on my Gree Heat Pump with Home Assistant · GitHub

Don’t forget that it work on my model (VIREO GEN3) and maybe not compatible with all Gree models.

Feel free to share my monkey patch to disable this annoying bip!!
Have fun

Hey,

When following your recipe, I get the following errors in HA:

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:278
First occurred: 10:17:43 (1 occurrence)
Last logged: 10:17:43

Setup failed for custom integration 'gree_silent': No setup or config entry setup function defined.

and

Logger: homeassistant.setup
Source: setup.py:372
First occurred: 10:17:43 (1 occurrence)
Last logged: 10:17:43

The 'gree_silent' integration does not support YAML setup, please remove it from your configuration

Any idea maybe?

EDIT: If others make the same mistake: the file name shouldn’t be init.py but __init__ .py (with double underscores before and under the init).

Hello,
You’re right, the file must be named __init__.py

I’ll correct the info in the Gist. Thanks for reporting it.
By the way, since today, I received a firmware update (1.44) which is no more working with this kind of hack and the bip are get back… I din’t found any workaround now with the latest firmware, so if you want to supress the bip, please do not upgrade to the latest firmware!
