hubitat_midea

This provides Thermostat driver capabilities for Hubitat with Midea branded and Midea-supplied air conditioning units. Many common brands are supplied by Midea and are compatible with this integration.

This component is substantially based on and is mostly a direct port of this excellent work: https://github.com/mac-zhou/midea-msmart

Special thanks to ghgeiger and etienne from the Hubitat forums for their testing and troubleshooting help.

Manual Installation instructions:

  • In the Drivers Code section of Hubitat, add the mideaAC_localController driver.

Configuration instructions:

  • Follow the instructions on this page to install and execute the midea-discover utility: https://github.com/mac-zhou/midea-msmart/blob/master/README.md

    • Note that this requires a separate computer running Python3 and can not be run directly from Hubitat. This is a one-time configuration step.
    • A reboot of the machine may be necessary after the pip3 installation step before you will be able to run the midea-discover utility.
    • Sample Output:
    • Alt text

  • In the Devices section of Hubitat, add a New Virtual Device of type Midea AC local controller.

  • On the configuration page for the newly created Device, enter the token, key, and device id from midea-discover, along with the IP address and port of your Midea AC unit.

  • Indicate whether you plan to use Celsius or Fahrenheit for your temperature setpoints and temperature reporting.

Usage instructions:

  • Utilize the various commands to control your AC unit.
