Haier Smart Modules

Older Haier Models

Older Haier models controlled by the SmartAir2 application use the KZW-W002 module, which looks like this:

This module is based on ARM architecture and cannot be reused for ESPHome. The module works exclusively with the SmartAir2 application but supports both versions of Haier protocols. Therefore, it is possible that an HVAC system using the KZW-W002 module and the SmartAir2 application might also support the hOn protocol.

Newer Haier Models

Newer Haier models use a module called ESP32-for-Haier. This module is an ESP32 single-core board with an ESP32-S0WD chip. The module board looks like this:

Front:

Back:

These boards support only the newer Haier protocol and can work with the hOn application. Additionally, in some regions, the EVO application is used instead of hOn.

Sometimes these modules can be reused for ESPHome. Make sure to back up your module before attempting to flash it. Some of the newer ESP32-for-Haier modules are encrypted.

Example of ESPHome Configuration

Here is an example of an ESPHome configuration for this module (can work only with esp-idf framework):

esphome:
  name: haier

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: esp-idf
    sdkconfig_options:
      CONFIG_FREERTOS_UNICORE: y

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
