GREE Air Conditioner on Fibaro


Question

Posted

Has anyone succeeded to control Gree AirCond (with Wifi) with Fibaro?

Found a topic in Polish, but could not find a way to do it. I have tried with Cool Automation plugin (with the IP of the GREE), didn't work.

 

I have a Gree multisplit, I can control all 3 units by GREE phone app, but would be great to have it integrated with Fibaro.

Any idea is welcome.

As I can understanding (just look in source code)

1) detection for GREE devices via UDP, what can be achievable

2) Communication with device also via UDP

3) proto is very easy for implementation (as against Broadlik device what i have implemented)

 

source code by C# attached).

Happy porting!

    Hi guy! Have very early prototype of working gree ac unit control via Fibaro.

     

    Do you need it? ;D

    Hi this would be great as I have currently installed a RPi with this tool

    Please login or register to see this link.

    and I am in the process of implementing http calls from HC2 to RPi in order to switch AC on/off...

     

    Thanks!

    If you are looking create a VD and you can control your AC via web browser, then this may help

    No that part is ok… I was hoping to avoid RPi altogether with @Deivydas code…

     

    thanks

    So, this is what I did to control a Gree AC from HC2 and use it both as de-humidifier and as AirConditioning

     

    - installed a RaspberryPi

    - installed this tool to control Gree from command line

    Please login or register to see this link.

    and created some scripts (i.e. one to turn on AC, one to turn on Dry Mode and one to turn off. They look like this

     

    Please login or register to see this code.

     

    Notice: if you don't add the 5 seconds wait at the end, the script terminates before executing the command, so it's important!

    Notice2: temperature set here must be below any temperature you will set in the AC Panel of HC2, so 16 is ok but you can put any low value as you will not use the thermostat inside Gree rather the z-wave one

     

    - installed webhooks

    Please login or register to see this link.

    and created a webhook.conf file to associate the webhook to the js files above

     

    Please login or register to see this code.

     

    - created a VD with a button for each function, so for example

     

    Please login or register to see this code.

     

    Now the tricky part: in the AC Panel of HC2, you cannot control a virtual device. So you need to pick an unused relay switch and call it "Fake-AC-Relay". I created a linked AC device controlling this fake relay and then a AC Zone for that Room

     

    Now I created a Scene that acts based on the status of the "Fake-AC-Relay". This scene is executed automatically when temperature goes above/below threashold defined in the AC Panel and also every 30 minutes (called by another scene) to check if humidity is too high even when temp is below treshold

    Hope it's useful!!

    I'm trying to have Gree AC Unit Controlling at Fibaro, without any external components - that's my goal 


    At the moment I have just TURN ON / TURN OFF / PAIRING commands, but there same issues to understanding LUA. LUA scripting is new for me and I need to learn a lot of. When I clear "bottle necks" I'll be a lot of faster of completing this QuickAPP

    Ok, you will have QuickApp for GREE AC Unit control very soon, I have working version, but still developing the first version.

    Ok, I would like to introduce, that Gree AC Unit control via Fibaro is available right now. All information about it found here:

    Summer is here, so....can anybody share some apps for HC2 to control GREE Aircond?

    maybe someone who can adapt @Deivydas app to HC2 ...

    Hi I think that for HC2 you are left with my solution above, which requires a RaspberryPi though. I have just edited because I realized that using an unused switch of a smartimplant is not a good idea, as the unused switches are triggered by the inputs (so I had A/C turning on when opening the car gate :-))

     

    Hope it helps,

    Riccardo
