How to configure with MRCOOL? #55

Closed friism closed 2 years ago

friism commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to make this plugin work with 3rd gen DIY MRCOOL minisplit with the Alexa/Google-Home USB dongle installed. Initially set this up with the MRCOOL app which I assume won't work with this plugin since the plugin relies on communicating with the Midea cloud service. So I reset the USB controller dongle on the minisplit and tried registering the air handler with both the Midea and Nethome apps, but neither work even though I had the air handler in "AP" mode and connected to the air handlers wifi.

Is there some other trick or process to set up a MRCOOL air handler to be able to work with this plugin?
