Please need more details

[rnglad]

Hello, I have finally found what I was looking for - your plugin, but can’t install it to work. Can you please describe the process (including mqtt broker) in a bit more detail. Have 2 gree ACs in home and badly want to control them from home app

[rnglad]

Wow,

It is perfect, it really works!!!

I’m thrilled!

Thank you so much!!! It is awesome!

And I just wonder why is this icon always shows 16? Or is it just that kind of icon?

Hello,

I uploaded the code that works for me (from my homebridge instance). Can you test now?

what icon? can you be more specific?

In the home app it shows me a square icon of AC, the on the left corner it always shows 16 degrees

And i see, that yours shows 22! Maybe cause you have this setup that shows the temperature in the room

you sent me pictures of your Home app and on the conditioner you have blue or green circle with current temperature, have you installed some specific hardware for that or is your Gree conditioner checks and sends this info automatically? Cause mine just shows me 16 all the time

Did you started? Long press on icon/mode/cool. Do you have mqtt topic with room temperature ?

[duculete]

Are you sure that your AC type is exposing same api as Gree AC? Please post here a screenshot of your home app.

[rnglad]

Hello again, thanks again, everything works. I've been testing everything on my mac (maybe not everything was correctly setup for mosquitto server), now I'll transfer everything on raspberry pi for everyday work.

About the same API, as most of the sources say that they are the same: https://github.com/tomikaa87/gree-remote/issues/4

Cool! Enjoy!

[rnglad]

Hello again, Sorry for bothering you again, just to let you know:

Everything works fine after I repeated the setup on my RaspberryPi, so it it superb, you just have to update the code, because if you enter npm I home....-Gree... it installs previous version, which is not that perfect.

What I am doing right now is trying to find, what is different between Gree and C&H ACs, because mine is not updating the information about room temperature as yours does

You see, it is always 16degrees. And I just cant understand why, as this guy writes, Gree and Cooper&Hunter are the same: https://github.com/alexiade/gree-remote

Hello, I will update the code on npm after few days of (you) testing :D.

What is your configuration in homebridge and how does your temperature sensor write data to mqtt topic?

[rnglad]

Hello again, my config is pretty simple, now it is only mosquitto, homebridge and your plugin on my raspberry pi and that's all. I actually thought, that your pluging enables your AC to write temperature data to mqtt is it not? Should I install something else for that?

Regards. Roman

You need to read again the description of the plugin. My plugin reads room temperature from mqtt topic...

[rnglad]

Sorry, I am new to this, i got it, i will now try work with sending temp to mqtt. Is your AC writes it without added hardware or did you ad a sensor for indoor temperature?

I explained it in my first comment 25 days ago. Look at the begining of this discussion...

[rnglad]

Dear Duculete,

Thank you so much, you moved me a bit forward, I read some topics, played with parts and now i have dht22 setup to measure the temperature

Thanks a lot!!!

Hello again,

Just to let you know that all 3 ACs work fine and all 3 sensors are read perfectly!

You’ve done a great thing!

I’ve just increased the max temp to 35, cause we sometimes have it

Thanks. Roman
