This is a Homebridge plugin for IntesisHome heat pump devices. It is based
on Philip Moon's homebridge-intesis
plugin, but instead of using
Intesis's APIs (which aren't available for users any more), scrapes
the accloud.intesis.com pages to get the information it needs.
With Homebridge already installed, install the plugin by running:
npm install -g homebridge-intesisweb
Here is an example stanza for your config.json:
"platforms": [
{
"platform": "IntesisWeb",
"username": "username",
"password": "password",
"swingMode": "H",
"apiBaseURL": "https://accloud.intesis.com/",
"configCacheSeconds": 30,
"defaultTemperature": 0
}
]
platform
- Must be "IntesisWeb".username
- This is the username you use to log in to accloud.intesis.com.password
- This is the password you use to log in to accloud.intesis.com.swingMode
- Whether the swing feature operates on the horizontal or vertical vanes. Should be "V" or "H". Defaults to "H".apiBaseURL
- The URL to the Intesis web site. Defaults to "https://accloud.intesis.com/".configCacheSeconds
- The number of seconds to cache the Intesis configuration for. This prevents the plugin from constantly scraping their website. The default value is 30.defaultTemperature
- The temperature in Celsius to default the current temperature to if the temperature is not available from scraping the web page. 0 means to use the set point temperature. The default value is 0. Apparently you can disable the Intesis's reporting of the temperature, but HomeKit's HeaterCooler service requires a CurrentTemperature characteristic.When changing the mode of the heat pump, HomeKit seems to send power on/off commands out of sync with the mode changing commands. Sometimes this means that it will change the mode to "heat" before turning the device on.
My implementation treats a fan speed of zero as setting it to automatic, but the Home app treats it as meaning turn off the unit.
