awaiting too since while , hope it can be solved
Fredrike, have you ever been able to progress on this? Or perhaps @lakis ? Setting up MQTT is a pain in my current environment.
I’ve not investigated this further…

Hey Iakis, did you managed to get it working with https://github.com/liaan/broadlink_ac_mqtt after trying again?
hey,
I did some tests but no success at all. Tried with ports: 80, 16617, 49137 …

I just received this adapter to connect an ESP-01 to my Inventor A/C.
I will use this configuration with ESPHome
Hopefully either this or the next weekend I will find the time to give it a try and I will report back

That would be awesome, looking forward to it!
I also tried intercepting the SSL reqs from the app to the AC using a rooted Android, but it’s mostly UDP, so no luck decompiling it, and the broadlink_ac_mqtt doesn’t find it in my LAN.

And now we are a few weekends further 
And we are all waiting for the succes
The usb connector is not standart so i have to modify it. The weather changed so other projects got priority. Until next summer i have time to try to connect it. Esp8266 is already flashed. I only need to connect it.

hi,
Weather better???
any update on this?
regards Remco
So, I have 9 AC units that work with TFIAC.
I can control them via LAN from HA, but I cannot control them remotely (I use reverse proxy to connect to my virtual machine hosted on Synology).

I have a new AC unit (2019 made) with this mac address[quote=“lakis, post:40, topic:58169”]
C8:F7:42
[/quote]
I had 10 units and now I’ve replaced one from storage.
I cannot add it as new to tfiac and my old units are gone from tfiac after iphone change, but are working in HA.
My problem now is How to add this old AC to WLAN?
Intelligent AC is not seeing the unit!
TFIAC is dead and you cant find it anymore. I happy that they are still working with you home assistant,
About the new device, if you cant with Intelligent AC, then try to use TCL HOME App ,

Thank you, I’ll try TCL Home
If It’s not working, I’ll try this tomorrow:
I can confirm that the TCL Home app is not working, but this worked immediately after hitting enter. I saw PP on the LCD lights.
This sounds interesting! I have two 2021 model TCL wifi air conditioners running currently via TCL home app. Sadly i cannot find an integration for home assistant
After this method, is the AC only accessible through HA?

I know this is an old topic, but I am trying to connect my TAC-12CHSD to my network. As known, this is not possible by any of the Chinese apps. I tried the broadlink script, I got it working under python i.s.o. python3, as this was failing on import broadlink. But I can’t use a windows machine to connect to the AC wifi. Are there any windows settings blocking this? I put the AC in AP mode by pressing display 8 times, it beeps and goes into CF, and appears sometimes on wifi list. Same goes when I press reset button on the wifi module. Any ideas how to set this up?
Do you have some progress with TAC-12CHSD and HA?
No progress, I also tried finding the TFIAC apk online, but found apps, that need too many permissions, so I left that idea, unless someone here can help me find the correct APK.
