I would like to propose the official inclusion of the Home Assistant IntesisHome (with config flow) integration in Home Assistant. This integration is a fork of the original IntesisHome integration and allows local control of compatible air conditioners via HTTP and WMP (IntesisBox), as well as cloud control for IntesisHome, anywAir, and airconwithme.
Currently, I am using this integration locally, and it works perfectly.
Currently, the developer of this integration is seeking a new maintainer as they have not owned any Intesis devices for several years and no longer have time to contribute to the project. In their README, they mention the following:
“This project is seeking a new maintainer, I haven’t owned an Intesis device for many years, and no longer have the time to contribute to this project.”
The integration can be found on GitHub at the following repository: jnimmo / hass-intesishome.
Since the original developer is unable to continue maintaining the integration, I believe it would be beneficial for the community if Home Assistant officially adopted it. Additionally, I propose adding support for shutdown timers, a feature available in the official app (formerly known as IntesisHome, now AC Cloud), which is not currently implemented in the integration.
I am confident that official inclusion would improve the experience for many users who rely on this integration to control their climate systems. I am willing to collaborate in any way possible to help move this process forward.
If needed. I can provide the models of my modules, as the older ones did not support local control, which could help with the official inclusion process.
Thank you for your consideration.
