Hey there @cmroche, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (gree) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

+1 from me too, have gree ac on another subnet and autodiscovery does not work. There is a custom climate component for free in HACS, I’ll give it a try.. would however like to have at least yaml example for the official one.

+1 same here, I removed the Devices and now the autoscan can't find them now, they are on a different subnet.

+1 Any idea maybe we can edit the IP from some config file after we move the AC to different subnet ? edit: I found custom integration that work properly with gree on another LAN segment and no need for AC to call home to report user actions.

+1 I have Docker based HA and it has it's own IP subnet that is bridged to my general ip space. Naturally my devices are not found because it searches HA subnet. Autoscan should be more clever would say. Or ask for IP.

I also run HA on Docker and am running into the same problem.

I found this #100731 and tried it, it works

[bartowl]

I wonder why this PR is still in draft, it looks complete at first sight...

How do you import this into home assistant over the official integration?

Thanks.

restart HA

Thanks but I'm using HAOS. In my case the ACs are in a different location and connected via a VPN. I have a HACS integration working so the connectivity is fine but want to use the office integration.

Thanks! Does this have to be done every time you update the HA docker version? Wish there was an easier way.

[viiliainen]

Worked 2/3 of my devices. Same modell all of them and controllable through cloud. Need to study that one device why it won't connect. My docker won't recognize those commands but copying files manually in Bash worked also OK.

I ported original HA Gree Climate integration with patch from kspearrin to HA - OS as custom integration, have a look: https://github.com/rapi3/HA-OS-Gree

can be installed from HACS - custom repository - integration
