Open ne0n2010 opened 1 year ago

Hello,

i am a new homebridge user and i was able to install the plugin via the UI. I read the readme and i was able to find out the mac adress from my ac but i dont know where i get the broadcast IP.

Can somebody tell me where to insert this command prompt to get the broadcast IP ? On the Rasperry or on my windows pc ? I google the prompt and it says that this is a linux prompt.

Can somebody tell me in detail how to get the broadcast IP ?

Best wishes ne0n

Hello! I am curious about this as well, and also how to find what port is the right one. If anyone can help, it will be amazing! thank you!

About the broadcast address. It's related to your router's settings. (LAN IP address and Subnet mask)

About the port. You can use any port number that does not conflict with other program. Maybe give 7000 a try.

Thank you for your answer, it is much appreciated! I put the broadcast address and the port 7000, and now in the status is an extra line: [09/01/2023, 12:19:40] [Gree AC] Broadcast '{"t":"scan"}' x.x.x.255:7000 [09/01/2023, 12:19:40] [Gree AC] handleMessage {"t":"scan"} But still any of the AC is showing up. They are both connected on the Ewpe and GREE+ apps and working. Thank you again!
