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.
- In the Drivers Code section of Hubitat, add the mideaAC_localController driver.
-
Follow the instructions on this page to install and execute the
midea-discoverutility: 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.
