Using a Honeywell T6 for the room temperature #66

Open MarceldeJager opened 8 months ago

Hi There,

I am bit new in this all and when I asked a stupid question I'm sorry :-)

I have two AC's. One in the livingroom and one in the bedroom. Both have the wifi controller with MHI-AC-Ctrl-ESPHome software on it and they work fine (after 2 weeks of messing around). Setting the temp is aways a guess because depending on heating, or cooling, the offset is different. In the living room I have the Honeywell T6 that is attached the the normal heater (is hardly used) and that always has the right temp. Is it possible to use the Honeywel as the room temp by the airco and how do I do that?

Thanks,

Marcel

Do you already have the Honeywell as a temperature sensor in Home Assistant? If so you can feed this sensor into the AC as external temperature via the service set_api_room_temperature. You need to call this regularly within the timeout specified in the ESPHome yaml for your AC.

See #41 for inspiration.
