Support for VRF #201

Open vellad1 opened 4 months ago

vellad1 commented 4 months ago

Hi,

I have a Gree VRF A/C system - basically 3 indoor units and 1 outdoor unit. I can manage them from the Android App Gree Remote.

I tried this climate component but it doesn't work with the VRF. The VRF has a single WIFI board with a mac address so I assume that is the issue.

However, with the help from https://github.com/tomikaa87/gree-remote I managed to reverse-engineer the way the VRF system works and I can turn off/on the A/Cs individually by sending specific JSON packets.

By any chance are you planning to support Gree VRF? If so I would be happy to help to send over details and test.

Thanks.

Hi @vellad1 ,

I have the same VRF system, just installed, and also looking to integrate. There is indeed a single WIFI board, but each sub unit has its own MAC adress. I'm not able to write a home assistant integration, but in the past I have been able to integrate other systems using python scripts a and then communicating with MQTT. I would like to do some testing as well.

I don't want to flood this forum here, so would be better to communicate separately. I'm not able to send you messages via github. Could you reach out to me via the Home assistant forum and send me a personal message? Look for user name Sceppi

Thanks!
