Mitsubishi air conditioner control via SmartThings

Hi,

I was looking around for a device handler to simply control my Mitsubishi air conditioners direct via the SmartThings Classic app while also still being able to use my IR remote as well.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any solution without using MQTT.

So I finally created my own: :wink:

How it works:

Basically you need an ESP32 board connected to your Mitsubishi air conditioner’s CN105 port.
The device handler than communicates via hubAction’s with the ESP32 which than talks to the air conditioner.

Hope this will help some of you too.

The project is still in an early development stage, so feel free to give feedback for further improvements.

Cheers,

Thanks for sharing. I am looking for a way to control my mitsubishi duct unit with smartthings. I am wondering if the automations work? I have already asked for all the material to start it up I will comment if everything works ok when I receive it and start it up thanks again

Hi, just wondering if this is designed for Mitsubishi Electric or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries units? They are separate companies (actually competing with each other) both producing A/C units and as far as I can tell have different control systems.

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately I still did not have the time to implement this project fully in Home Assistant.

At the moment basic on/off functionality and monitoring works with the following example configuration.yaml entries:

switch:
  - platform: rest
    name: Mitsubishi Aircon Livig Room Power Switch
    resource: http://192.168.xxx.xxx/ChangeAirconSettings
    state_resource: http://192.168.xxx.xxx/GetAirconSettings
    timeout: 30
    body_on: '{"POWER": "ON"}'
    body_off: '{"POWER": "OFF"}'
    is_on_template: '{{ value_json.POWER == "ON" }}'
    headers:
      Content-Type: application/json
    verify_ssl: false        

sensor:
  - platform: rest
