Ready to go Gree AC unit control and statuses reading from device (QuickApp)

[Deivydas 4]

Hello,
I would like to share my first worth Quick App to control Gree AC Unit (Air conditionier).

 

This app was developed for my own requirements. I need it to write some scenes which automatically turn on / off ac when temperature is different from set in thermostat.

I would like to say thank for the people who have helped me to find the necessary information. Big thanks to these guys - https://github.com/tomikaa87/gree-remote who had made a lot of work and make the developing process less complicated.

 

It's doesnt work with fallowing models:

• Gree Pular - it use different UDP packages, need to be debug

 

Ok, let's go to inistall it, what you need:

1. Make sure, that your Gree AC Unit have static IP address. Please enter this IP address to QuickApp variable.

2. When IP address is entered, click Pair Device button

3. If pair is success, you are available to control your AC unit

4. Statuses from AC device is updated after each 5 minutes, you can change this 

 

QuickApp version: v1.

Works with: Home Center 3

 

Take and use it, I'm sure that this app will get updates and additional scenes for automatization

Notes (Updated 2024-05):

Different GREE AC units send different packages to devices, so it cannot be working with every gree ac unit. I'm planning to build another 3 AC units (different gree models in other rooms), when I have it, i'll try to adapt code to more Gree AC devices

Hi there.
I tried QuickApp and I want to give you feedback.
I have a Nord air conditioner designed by Gree in 2019.
It can be controlled with the Gree+ application, I thought I would try this QuickApp as well.
Unfortunately, it failed, the value of the ac_key variable shows an empty field.
The program is a very nice piece of work, I will keep an eye on the developments.

Witam.

Wielkie dzięki DAWID@ za udostępnienie aplikacje działa z moim Gree  GWH18YD-K6DNA1A

any chance to make it work on Home Center 2? I have three GREE (with wifi) units, with static IP, would be great to be able to control them by fibaro.

Sorry, my script is just for HC3. I'm not a developer who write scripts for global usage, I write thems for personal usage.

 

I see that different Gree AC units, have different packages, so cannot test them alls. When I have additional 3 gree ac units at home, i'll update this script to work for thems too and provide the exact model of thems.

I was hoping we find somebody with HC2 that can transform your code :). Any programmer with GREE aircond and HC2 around here, please ? :).

 

I looked into it, but I don't think I am capable of making it work :(...

Hi!

 

Is there somebody, for who he works with the GWH12AFC-K6DNA2F/0?

Hi, I was surfing GitHub today and found this great QuickApp for the GREE air conditioner. I use a GREE air conditioner at home and also a Fibaro HC3. I was already planning to set aside some time to develop a similar QuickApp, but our friend Deivydas helped us a lot. At first, the QuickApp didn't work for me, but I decided to look at the UDP parameters (line 38) and changed the TIMEOUT parameter to 5000 (it was 2000). After that, the QuickApp worked. Maybe this will help someone else too. Once again, many thanks to Deivydas.

Yes, all the rest is working well :), just the main/"power switch" doesnt get updated ( if the AC has beeen switched off/on via remote control/gree app)

Add in QuickApp four highlighted lines:

 

375  function QuickApp:updateAcUnitViewDashboard(command, value)

    -- Power

    if (command == 'pow') then

        if (value == 0) then

            self:updateView("labelAcStatus", "text", self.trans.labels.ac_off)

            self:updateProperty('value', false) -- binary switch off

        elseif (value == 1) then

            self:updateView("labelAcStatus", "text", self.trans.labels.ac_on)

            self:updateProperty('value', true) -- binary switch on

        end

 

......

 

476    --=== Read Status ===--

    if (command == 'status_pow') then

        if (value == 0) then

            self:updateView("labelAcStatus", "text", self.trans.labels.ac_off)

            self:updateProperty('value', false) -- binary switch off

        elseif (value == 1) then

            self:updateView("labelAcStatus", "text", self.trans.labels.ac_on)

            self:updateProperty('value', true) -- binary switch on

        end

Which Gree model is working with this QAP ?

Thnx

I have new GRee ac and I am able to contorl Gree AC with py command and so on ...bu
this qua built around older (non-GCM) encryption, and my device requires GCM...any suggestion how can I update this
