Dehumidifier Per-Device Values

[Matzushub]

Hi there

First of all - a big thank you for this plugin.

I am trying this plugin out for my dehumidifier Comfee MDDF-20DEN7-WF by Midea. I have set it up with login data and looked for the Serial Number of the humidifier in the home app. Afterwards I added this serial number in the config as Device ID.

This is the correct procedure?

 "user": "eMAIL",
            "password": "PWD",
            "interval": 30,
            "devices": [
                {
                    "deviceId": "318858375xxxxx",
                    "supportedSwingMode": "None",
                    "fanOnlyMode": false,
                    "OutdoorTemperature": false
                }
             ],
            "platform": "midea-air"

Device specific Values don't match. If I set the target humidity to 60% in the NetHome Plus App then this is also confirmed on the dehumidifier device display. But in the Home App it shows "Lowering to 50%".

Is this a known issue or did I do a mistake in the config? Also Device Modes are not supported?

Hi! device mode is not supported. about the target humidity I don't have Dehumidifier to test so I can't fix the problem. If you want to send me your user and password i'll try to get feedback from your Dehumidifier.

@hillaliy I can create a temp account and share the email and pwd with you. How can I reach you in private?

The feedback from dehumidifier to Homebridge is OK. HomeKit Relative Humidity work between 0%-100% (can't change it, Apple policy) The value is like this: 35% = 0% 40% - 10% 45% = 20% . . . . 85% = 100%

Understood. Would it be possible to match the values like that? Through a lookup table in homebridge plugin? Homebridge : HomeKit 35% : 0% 35% : 5% 35% : 10% 35% : 15% 35% : 20% 35% : 25% 35% : 30% 35% : 35% 40% : 40% 45% : 45% 50% : 50% 55% : 55% 60% : 60% 65% : 65% 70% : 70% 75% : 75% 80% : 80% 85% : 85% 85% : 90% 85% : 95% 85% : 100%

This would push the mismatch of scales to the outer boarders of the scale which aren't used anyhow.

[hillaliy]

No Homekit value are 0-100 and the steps is 10

[Matzushub]

Dang. Is that limitation only for ACs and Dehumidifiers? For any other device HK allows any value between 0-100%, right?

Could this work? Set Value in HomeKit -> homebridge sends this value to API

0% -> off 10% -> 35% 20% -> 35% 30% -> 35% 40% -> 40% 60% -> 60% 70% -> 70% 80% -> 80% 90% -> 85% 100% -> 85%

Need some motivation to sit on it.
