I recently put in a GE ClearView window unit in my homelab server room. It has Wi-Fi support via GE’s mobile app, but I was wondering if anyone has done any work trying to put these on a non-Internet routable Wi-Fi and sending commands to it directly?
I’ve found some git repos with code for integration with other GE appliances, but none of their AC units. It seems like most people who want to integration window or HVAC units into Home Assistant just build microcontrolers and solder them in.
Might be a fun project, but before I go getting out a multimeter out and start reverse engineering, I wonder if there is any work out there I’ve missed. Has anyone tried to reverse engineer the AC remote control protocol to try and control these devices locally/without “the cloud”?
