Manifest requires msmart 0.2.4 which is not available in PyPi

[mill1000]

The current manifest requires msmart 0.2.4 which is not available in PyPi. This is causing install failures for users (reported in #182) because the dependency can not be met.

https://github.com/mac-zhou/midea-ac-py/blob/a1699f714e4113ccd25f8f32f2d245781ce654fc/custom_components/midea_ac/manifest.json#L7

We should bump the manifest version to 0.2.5 or merge #178 to support multiple versions.

I bumped the manifest version and the behavior with my AC is totally different. I don't have all the controls when using the classic card. I got those errors when trying to interract : "error set_hvac_mode"

[mill1000]

That is likely because of mac-zhou/midea-msmart#90. Unfortunately this integration is currently in a bit of a bad state.

I've got a branche with a number of fixes merged here: mill1000/midea-msmart.

To install via pip

pip install git+https://github.com/mill1000/midea-msmart.git

So I'm using the latest version of midea-ac-py and your fork / branche and I still have those issues :

and the sensors are at 0C

This is my manifest :

And if I add the configuration too in the configuration.yaml :

To me it looks like HA is still using the old version of midea-msmart because the get_capabilities call is missing. I've had issues where HA doesn't update the requirements even if the manifest changes. Can you manually install the dependency via pip?

[AndoKarim]

pip is not working on my end, I replied to you on the other issue you're following. Maybe we can stick to this one?

I cannot use any command in Terminal

[AndoKarim]

Update: I ended up discovering there is two Terminal modules. I installed the right one. I'm trying to pip install your branche

Update: Still the same error after doing pip install git+https://github.com/mill1000/midea-msmart.git@future

[mill1000]

Great. I was just about to reply to see if you were using this add-on or other "official" one. The official one seems quite limited in its use

[AndoKarim]

Yeah I solved the ssh issue but still stuck with this msmart.

I removed the requirements from manifest.json. But still having the same issue, not finding _getcapabilities I even did pip uninstall msmart and reinstalled the 0.2.4, tried the 0.2.5 official and your fork..

I am missing something but don't know why. It seems there is a sneaky msmart that is still installed somewhere and grabbing my midea-ac-py

[mill1000]

If you're getting issues with get_capabilities, then it sounds like you're installing msmart...at least not where HA is looking for it.

Are you running these pip commands within the Docker container that runs HA?

[AndoKarim]

I am running the pip install from the root it seems

[AndoKarim]

Ok I fixed the issue here are the steps :

Open a terminal and enter in docker mode :

• docker exec -it homeassistant bash (you need to disable protected mode from Terminal module)
• Then do a pip uninstall msmart (I had version 0.2.3 installed)
• I did a pip install of the 0.2.4 commit of mac-zhou

Everything came back in track.

The mistake here is to use Terminal and connect as root and do the steps. You need to be in the docker

Thanks a lot for your help.

[mill1000]

No problem. Glad you got it working again.

If it's of interest to you. I also have a future branch of midea-ac-py here that add some additional features
