Support for Aqara Smart Clothes Drying Rack Lite

[matt1aw]

Device model lumi.airer.acn02

Device name Aqara Smart Clothes Drying Rack Lite (Aqara智能晾衣机Lite)

Does the device require a MiCloud connection? No

Anything special about the device?

• Does it already work with the plugin with a limited scope? Can be controlled using the auto created switch (i.e. switch, light switch, motor control switch: up, pause, down, auto)
• Plugin homebridge-aqara-airer-lite was discovered, but using the Aqara dev portal instead. It is worth to note that the plugin can turn the airer into a HomeKit light and a window cover separately. So we can turn its light on / off, set its up-down position (by setting the openning percentage) in HomeKit.

Hi, can you tell me what exactly the problem is? From the log it seems that your device was correctly detected and it should work. It might be that your device requires a micloud connection, for that you would need to specify your micloud credentials in the config and set the forceMiCloud property to true.

Thank you for your prompt reply! I reported this because the log claimed that the lumi.airer.acn02 is a Unknown airer device. And I would like to know will there be any other support for this "Unknown" device. :)

Besides, are there any ways to make the airer behave like a window blind/cover?? So as to set its up-down position (by setting the opening percentage) in the Home App.

[merdok]

Unknown airer device only means that the plugin does not know the device name, which is usually specified in the dedicated device class. But the device was correctly discovered as an airer as it should.

No, the airer devices are displayed as a single switch (for light on/off) + dedicated buttons to move the airer into the desired position.

@merdok I noticed that in Version 1.5.1 Added support for hlumi.airer.acn02 (Aqara Smart Clothes Drying Rack Lite) airer. However, I think there might be a typo in the model number. Should it be lumi.airer.acn02 instead?

[merdok]

Yeah you are right, it is a typo but just in the text so it should not affect anything! Thanks for the info!
