There's some research right now related to this issue. Check https://github.com/deiger/AirCon/issues/160

Thanks for answering but it's not the same error. My app is Hi-Smart AC and the module is w4e1

I have previously had this AC configured correctly and it worked fine, but I changed the password of the hisense app and from there I can't get it to work.

I have tried to put the previous pass but it does not work either.

I don't know what else to try

any ideas?

thank you

I'm having problems too.

Everything seems to be working, no errors raised neither in home assistant nor running the server from the cli.

When running the server, it just says:

curl -ik 'http://localhost:8888/hisense/command?property=t_power&value=ON'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{"queued_commands": 50}

context:

• module is also a w4e1
• tested both in docker and from command line
• ac is reachable, ip is working
• also try to remove from the app and reconfigure again

some logs of the docker image (fresh start, removing device json)

I have this issue as well: https://github.com/deiger/AirCon/issues/130 The only workaround is to reconfigure the wireless on the ACs, reconnect them to the wireless network, stop the addons and remove the config on hisense folder. Restart the addon and it will retrieve the config and keys. I suppose this is something related to the wrong retrieval of keys.

Hi, I manage to solve the issue, it was a networking thingy.

I'm running the docker image, but wasn't exposing the port and the ip of the machine properly (not the AC, the machine where the docker is running). This machine has to be reachable from the AC.

{
  "app": [
    {
      "username": "EMAIL",
      "password": "PASS",
      "code": "oem-eu"
    }
  ],
  "mqtt_host": "HOME_ASSISTANT_IP",
  "mqtt_port": 1883,
  "mqtt_user": "hass",
  "mqtt_pass": "PASS",
  "port": 8888,
  "local_ip": "HOME_ASSISTANT_IP"
}

thanks

Sorry to jump on this thread, but I'm also getting the same issues as @paskyecijano - the controls show up as "Unavailable." However, I'm also new to Home Assistant.

I'm confused by the MQTT part of the configuration. Does this add-on have it's own MQTT implementation? I tried installing Mosquito Broker and then the built in MQTT (pointing to mosquito mqtt), plus then this add on. That got both ACs to show up, but unusable.

Any ideas/thoughts welcome.

Update: got the controls to work! I was setting the port to 1883 instead of the example above of 8888. It's now working, but doing weird things:

• The temperature on HomeAssistant is not the same as what's being set on the device
• The units are now in Fahrenheit instead of Celcius
• The controls are different for each of the ACs even though they are the same hardware - one is showing a current temperature

Funny thing is that it's 20c right now, not below freezing...

Any thoughts on this?
