i have Floureon and no sticker 
Yes, using a TCP sniffer, it is quite easy to snif the encrypted ID and reverse it.
Also agree with you on your second point, not the most secure…
Can you post format of that key ? I’m not sure what to look for, how long it is and is it only digits / hex or … ? I’ve dumped data from app and deserialized it. I got field called key with some md5 data and field called password with 6 digits but doesn’t seem to work when I test it with your component.
File “/config/custom_components/climate/wifithermostat.py”, line 196, in current_temperature
self._device.read_status()
File “/config/custom_components/climate/wifithermostat.py”, line 128, in read_status
data = bytearray.fromhex(hex(self.id_effect)[2:])
ValueError: non-hexadecimal number found in fromhex() arg at position 9
Hi, for me it is a 5 digit integer i.e. 00000 - I understand that’s the common format.
I also got one yesterday, and don’t have a sticker with ID on it 
perhaps it is easy for you to sniff the encrypted id and reverse it, for me it isn’t lol, I’m using currently this method to integrate it in hass: https://community.openhab.org/t/electronic-heating-thermostat-reverse-engineering-beok-floureon-decdeal/39251/6
because without the ID, your method is not working unfortunately, I would rather use your method.
since the method on the openhab forum is also written in python, can’t the method without needing the ID not be integrated into your code, they are both written in python 
Hi, I did see this as well but the python involved there is beyond my capabilities I’m afraid…
To sniff the packets, I am using the “Packet Capture” app.
Once your thermostat is installed and configured with your app, you can use “Packet Capture” to see the traffic from the app.
You should see one of the packets being repeated often, which is your encrypted key in hex. You can then use the windows calculator to convert into decimal and the formula in the python code to reverse your product id.
Sounds simple 
this sounds like real nasa science 
i think i have packet, but how can i get id from there? “windows calculator” - what is this? sorry for stupid questions…
Right, if you have the packet in hexadecimal, you can google “hexadecimal to decimal” and you will find a free calculator to convert your packet into decimal.
Next, use this formula:
(encrypted ID - 65535) / 65535 - 1 = Product ID
I’ve made a platforme for this thermostat: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/15363
The PR is still pending, but it work for me
This platform do not require any ID, and is not based on the thermostat internet connexion (works localy).
Hope you’ll like it

Exciting!!! Much better than my version as I like the non-dependence on the remote servers!
I saw you have an issue with Google assistant, which I managed to solve with mine (see here: Custom components integration with Google Assistant). If I manage to make it work with your code, I’ll send a commit.
sorry, but how can i use this?
I gave this a spin last night and connections to the thermostat timed out… not too sure what the problem is… I do however wonder whether the model I have is different and the API doc is wrong. That would also explain why @typeonegative cannot get my module to work.
@Emmanuel: Have you tried to use the broadlink.discover() function, using the broadlink API ? (not in HA, on a python terminal) ? I think I’ll update my code using this methode, but I’m running out of time this summer
And I fixed the google assistant issue yesterday !
@typeonegative: You have to create a custom_components/climate folder, on the HA config folder, and put the broadlink thermostat code on it, then add this to your configuration file:
climate:
- platform: broadlink
name: Thermostat
mac: “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”
host: “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
Finaly restart your HA instance, and you’ll be done
only file setup.py goes to custom_components/climate ?
There is no setup.py, but broadlink.py : https://github.com/clementTal/home-assistant/blob/add_broadlink_climate/homeassistant/components/climate/broadlink.py
wohooooooo! working! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Have a problem with your component on last version hassio
Error while setting up platform broadlink
Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py”, line 129, in _async_setup_platform SLOW_SETUP_MAX_WAIT, loop=hass.loop) File “/usr/local/lib/python3.6/asyncio/tasks.py”, line 358, in wait_for return fut.result() File “/usr/local/lib/python3.6/concurrent/futures/thread.py”, line 56, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File “/config/custom_components/climate/broadlink.py”, line 101, in setup_platform config[CONF_ADVANCED_CONFIG],

any suggestions?
Hi, I got a Floureon thermostat for a towel rail and using the module. A couple of suggested improvements:
- broadlink.py - line 217, should it be “set_advanced”?
- BroadLinkWifiThemostat: is it possible to add a flag in the configuration to read the external_temp instead of the room_temp?
Otherwise working great!
You’re right, I made the changes !
