DHT Service

[Forrest1313]

Describe Your Problem:

DHT Service is not working for me, even with RPi 4. In HomeKit shows each conditioner with Humidity 0% ; Temp 45. Is it a method to make it work properly? Thanks in advance **Logs:** ``` Show the Homebridge logs here, remove any sensitive information. ``` **Plugin Config:** ```json Show your Homebridge config.json here, remove any sensitive information. ``` **Screenshots:**

Environment:

• Plugin Version:
• Homebridge Version:
• Node.js Version:
• NPM Version:
• Operating System:

Hey, how did you setup it?

[Forrest1313]

dedicated Ip for each conditioner, then in your plugin set each child bridge needs to be connected to a solid IP address. problem is with dht service, in homekit it can not read the status of current temp and humidity. do you know how to perform that?

[RaresAil]

To setup the DHT, in the home directory create a folder and add this file over here https://github.com/RaresAil/homebridge-gree-ac#dht-service with the name index.js

Then from the terminal in that folder run:

• And press enter on all of the questions:

  npm init

• After that run

  npm install node-dht-sensor express

• Make sure the DHT sensor is on GPIO 17
• If the DHT is model 11 skip this step, but if is model 22 replace in index.js sensor.read(11, with sensor.read(22,
• To run the DHT service execute

  node index.js

• To auto start the service after restart follow this article but for ExecStart should be like /usr/bin/node /home/..your-path../index.js

[RaresAil]

You will need to buy a DHT11 or DHT22 (more accurate) sensor and connect it to RPi using GPIO

I'm searching for a method to view each room temp that is provided from greeAC. In the main app Gree+ it is working fine e

[Forrest1313]

also not all modes of AC are available such as DRY and just FAN but to be honest it's the best plugin for GreeAC. Good work man!!!

The model i used didn't exposed a temperature sensor so i can display it and i no longer have a gree ac because i moved in a diff apartament, so i won't be able to add new features for it, i will add a custom config to change the default temperature from 45 to something else

[Forrest1313]

thanks a lot

[RaresAil]

I added version 1.2.0 which allows to change the default temp

https://github.com/RaresAil/homebridge-gree-ac/issues/4#issuecomment-1156236301

Let me know if it is working

Hello thank you for your work. It seems works fine I have a question: Is it possible read the DHT temperature using a sensor in the home? I havean esp8266 with DHT and simple web server. Would be possible use it? I could modify sketch to match with plugin Thank you again

Could the follow document help to implement temperature reading? Plugin would be great with temperature feature

just updated but Homebridge give an error

[RaresAil]

@GPL71 please try 1.2.1

if the response from that http server is in the forma, in the config, just add the url of the ESP and the path for that endpoint

{
  "temperature": 10,
  "humidity": 40.5
}

I don't have a Gree AC anymore so i can't implement it

ok ... I can offer as tester if that could help. I think @Forrest1313 could do it too

What nodejs version do you have?

I checked that code and didn't found a temperature sensor on the AC to get the temperature

OK I'll try check how app could read the temperature or the api for wifi AC

[RaresAil]

@GPL71 Alright, let me know how is working, I enabled Discussions on this repo, just post there the feature request if you manage to find a way to get the temperature

[GPL71]

I've found: https://github.com/alexmuntean/gree-airconditioner-rest

And following explain how to get temperature https://github.com/tomikaa87/gree-remote

https://github.com/tomikaa87/gree-remote#getting-the-current-temperature-reading-from-the-internal-sensor

seem following allow read temperature https://github.com/tomikaa87/gree-remote/tree/master/PythonCLI

[mpuff]

Can I disable the dht status?

[RaresAil]

@mpuff just remove dhtService from the config

[mpuff]

@RaresAil, I only have this in the Config:

{ "name": "Klimagerät", "broadcastAddress": "192.168.3.255", "threeSpeedUnit": true, "coolingMinTemp": 18, "coolingMaxTemp": 30, "heatingMinTemp": 20, "heatingMaxTemp": 30, "platform": "GreeACImplementationPlugin" }

but I have still the temperature of 45 in the apple home app.

Add "defaultCurrentTemp" and give it what value you want
