MSMBCU-18HRFN1-QRD0GW(B) - issues #31

Open mmbenjamin opened 3 years ago

I have multiple issues with my setup:

occasionally switching display to fahrenheit instead of celsius on AC display
my AC has two temperature sensors, only one (indoor) is visible
no matter what I have written in config parameter "temperatureSteps": 1 in homekit I have 0,5 degrees step
it is impossible to set heating, only auto and cool is working. If I need to heat up, I have to use auto

{ "user": "@.", "password": "", "interval": 0.5, "devices": [ { "deviceId": "000000P0000000Q1BC0F2BA***", "supportedSwingModes": "Vertical", "temperatureSteps": 1 } ], "platform": "midea" }

Hello, as I don't have a device that supports heating, I can't test that use case.

Midea's API is highly undocumented and all I can rely on are other implementations of it. I relies heavily on setting single bits for things like the temperature units.

I will look into your problem regarding the temperatureSteps property.

I don't know how I would display the other temperature sensor in HomeKit. I could probably expose it through HomeKit, however it won't be accessible in the Home app.
