Current Energy and AC Power does Value does Not change on Midea AC

[Merril-r]

Gooday,

I have just installed this integration. I noticed that the current energy value stays on 79.0 no mater what mode I run the AC on.

This the diagnostic:

Thanks for including diagnostics. Can you enable debug logging and collect a few minutes of logs?

I created the diagnostic file as requested. I also used the AC with some different settings (fan, cool, eco) while the log was recording.

From the logs it looks like the total energy value is increasing, but the current energy and power values are fixed.

I'd chalk it up to a quirk of your device, unless you have information from the OEM app that shows proper values.

App show current usages.

Hm..then the app must be using some other message that I don't have any documentation for and/or reports usage directly to the cloud without exposing it to the LAN protocol.

Sorry, can't do much about it unless you can capture the data between the WiFi adapter and the device.

Thanks for the trying. Not a show stopper but would have been nice to have that info in HA

Agreed. For now I'll close this issue. Feel free to re-open if there's more information comes to light that might help fix it.
