v2.1.2

Reminder: New (v2) network encryption protocol supported since v2.1.0

When upgrading from v2.0.0 - v2.1.1 to v2.1.2 configuration settings should be updated.

Configuration update steps

• Recommended: Using the graphical user interface of Homebridge (Homebridge Config UI X)
  1. Open plugin configuration
  2. Review and update settings if needed
  3. Save changes (pressing the Save button is required to update the configuration to new version even if no changes needed in the displayed values)
  4. Restart Homebridge
• OR Alternative: Edit the configuration file directly
  1. Remove the following parameters from the platform section:
     • port (it may be kept if you want to set the UDP port manually)
     • scanAddress
     • scanCount
     • scanTimeout
  2. Optionally you can add the following parameter to the platform section:
     • scanInterval (default is 60 if missing, needed only if other value required)
  3. Save changes
  4. Restart Homebridge

Updated dependencies

• homebridge-config-ui-x 4.59.0 or later required
• added homebridge 2.0.0-beta.0 and later to supported versions

New features

• Simplified configuration
  • Broadcast address not needed any more
  • UDP port is optional
  • Scan count and scan timeout replaced with scan interval parameter
• AC units can have dynamic addresses

Fixes

• Fixed "Failed to save cached accessories to disk: Converting circular structure to JSON" error

v2.1.1

New (v2) network encryption protocol supported since v2.1.0

• Updated dependencies (homebridge-config-ui-x 4.56.3 or later required)

Fixes

• Do not show error on unknown network packets received from non GREE devices

v2.1.0

New features

• New encryption protocol added to support latest AC devices (e.g. GREE CS532AE Wifi Modul, GREE GRJ532-J14 Wifi Modul, GREE GEH12AA-K6DNA1A, GREE GWH14QD-K3NNB4D/I, etc.)
• New configuration parameter added to force network encryption version

Fixes

• Fixed "error:1C80006B:Provider routines::wrong final block length" error
• Fixed incorrect display of current temperature on devices without temperature sensor (on devices without sensor the target temperature is displayed in Home App)
  Some AC firmware versions do not report the measured temperature but the device has a built-in sensor. They are handled as devices without sensor.

v2.0.2

New features

• Override default fixed vertical swing position to a predefined position

Fixes

• Fixed registration problem of unsupported devices (Unsupported devices were registered successfully
  but Homebridge could not control them. Unsupported devices won't be registered any more.)
• Valid port value verification

v2.0.1

New features:

• Improved debug logging

Fixes:

• Fixed error on setting Threshold Temperature minimum and maximum values
• Updated dependencies (Homebridge 1.8.0 or later required)

v2.0.0

Breaking changes

This release is the first platform plugin release of homebridge-gee-ac plugin. Users have to reconfigure the plugin and re-set-up scenes and automations in Home App if upgrading from earlier versions.

@eibenp/homebridge-gree-airconditioner plugin is obsolete, it is not maintained any more on that name.

New features:

• This release supports all features of the original @eibenp/homebridge-gree-airconditioner plugin
• Better configuration UI
• Updated logging

Fixes:

• Improved error handling
• Updated system requirements

v1.0.2

Important notes:

When upgrading from release v1.0.1 or earlier it is neccessary to disable and re-enable the devices to force Home App to reinitialize settings.

New Features:

• Celsius mode allows using half a degree (e.g. 21.5 °C)

Fixes:

• Fahrenheit mode issue (some temperature degrees can't be set)
• Incorrect value of target temperature set on AC unit by Home App
• More reliable heating-cooling state display in auto mode

v1.0.1

New Features:

• Added ability to configure additional Temperature Sensor (disabled / child accessory / separate (independent) accessory)

Fixes:

• Some documentation improvements

v1.0.0

First public release
