OSK103 support

[jefflewis]

~Having this change the unit of measurement is less than ideal.~

OSK103 is not well supported. Some functions (like changing temperature units) do not work reliably.

[jefflewis]

If I knew all of the key places to add the conversion, I'd update with a PR to add support.

Hey @jefflewis this is something I am actually looking into right now. While I can set it over and over (using the remote), it is frustrating that it pretty consistently reverts to ºC.

I'm hoping to have a PR up today

[jefflewis]

Lemme know if I can help!

Hi, On my unit it's work just fine. I have OSK102 dongle. Check if your device have OSK103 dongle. The commands is different on OSK103.

[jefflewis]

@hillaliy When you say "work just fine" do you mean that it successfully changes the display of units on the unit to ºC whenever the home bridge plugin launches? Because that is exactly what happens.

This issue was meant to track making this plugin not need to do that.

[jefflewis]

I do have the OSK103 dongle. Should the issues description be ºF Support for OSK103 smart kit module?

[hillaliy]

If you restart Homebridge the plugin returns to default and the default is Celsius. And as I wrote this plugin don't support OSK103 dongle. The plugin will connect to Midea cloud and create your devices but not control properly. Midea change the commands protocol.

[jefflewis]

What is necessary to get the new module working? I can help add support if needed.

[hillaliy]

Try to find the New Midea API

[jefflewis]

By "find the new Midea API", do you mean some new API response handler to handle the current remote API (https://mapp.appsmb.com/v1), a local network API server run by the OSK103 module, or a new remote API that is separate from the currently supported one? (https://mapp.appsmb.com/v1)

[hillaliy]

I mean the new command protocol

[jefflewis]

Awesome. I'm guessing that means add a new OSK103 device type to this switch the a new data array?

src/BaseCommand.ts

Where did you get the original ask docs for the current data arrays? That might be helpful in finding the new values.

Thanks!

Midea iobroker

@jefflewis @hillaliy hi guys, how it's going with 103 dongle? I wonder If I can help you somehow...

[hillaliy]

It will be helpful If i have a 103 dongle to test

[hillaliy]

If you can give me access to your AC

[qweluke]

@hillaliy I can share with you my midea login credentials. I have 4 AC's connected to it, each with 103 dongle. Would it be helpfull to you?

btw, as far as I have tested this plugin, functions like:

• heating
• cooling
• fan setting temperature, waking up, disabling are working fine.

not working or missing:

• "auto" function shows temp range while my device support single value - like in cooling
• missing "Dry"

[hillaliy]

I'll appreciate if you send me in private your account. I'll try to get feedback from one of your AC.

[hillaliy]

Auto mode should show range. The air conditioner maintains a set temperature. If the temperature is below the set it will heat up otherwise it will cool down. Besides, everything seems fine. As for drying mode, I can add support I need some time and motivation.
