Only with this Argo Clima model working Ulisse 13 DCI Eco WiFi?

The Ulisse 13 DCI Eco WiFi is the only device I own, so I don't know for sure.

For the integration to work, the device needs to have a webinterface like the one below. See also #5.

What do we need to change for another device? How U get connections? We have AC air cond the model Argo Clima Greenstyle plus 18. Can We try to update the code?

The Greenstyle Plus uses the "AC Freedom" app for communication.
I'm afraid that won't be easy to integrate. Also, as this is an app that multiple companies use for their products, it doesn't make much sense to add it to this integration.

Maybe this thread could be of help to you:
Broadlink AC Integration (AC Freedom) (AUX, Dunham, Rcool, Akai, Rinnai, Kenwood, Tornado, Ballu)
There is also a Home Assistant addon for the middleware.

Sadly, the project seems to have been abandoned, but maybe it could still work for you.

Nice Job! Can we try and make the next step for this code for all Argo models?

You are welcome to contribute to this repository.

But:

Argoclima uses several different remote solutions for their remote-capable devices. I have not checked the documentation of all devices, but I know at least of three different ones.

  • The Ulisse DCI 13 Eco uses the weird webapp this here integration was made for.
  • The MILO PLUS uses the "EWPE Smart App".
  • The Greenstyle Plus uses the "AC Freedom" app.

It's unclear who developed the webapp the Ulisse uses. The app is able to display different company logos, but I don't know which ones. So it may or may not be used only by Argoclima. As I don't know of any other device using this app, I created this Argoclima-specific integration.

Both "EWPE Smart App" and "AC Freedom" are known to be used by multiple companies for their products.
In this case, it makes much more sense, to have speparate integrations for these apps. Integrations should not be company-specific, but interface-specific.

Other users reported that for HVAC devices using the "EWPE Smart App", the Home Assistant integration for "Gree" can be used.

As for "AC Freedom", there was the project mentioned in my previous post. It seems rather complicated to communicate with the device, as this other project seemingly had to use some kind of server to handle that.
As I don't own any device using this app to test with, I won't be of much help here.
