homebridge-haieracbridge-platform

homebridge-haieracbridge-platform is plugin for homebridge which allows you to control Haier AC devices from HomeKit! It should work with all AC devices controlled by SmartAir2 app.

Drawbacks

To use this plugin you will need HaierACBridge app made by me. My solution requires having a dedicated Android device with app running in background in the same subnet as homebridge instance. If you want to access devices directly please use bstuff/haier-ac-remote instead.

1. Download HaierACBridge app
2. Install and login in HaierACBridge app

FAQ

How to turn on FAN mode

Remember that you need useFanMode enabled to use that functionality. To enable fan mode, first make sure that AC is turned off (Target mode = Off). After that set desired speed on Fan accessory. AC should turn on in FAN mode

How forcing health mode works

When healthModeType is set to FORCE, every time some action is being made plugin enables health mode in AC.

Note: You can still disable this mode on remote, but after using HomeKit it will be set back to enabled.

After setting new language values in config HomeKit don't show changes

Make sure you set desired language values BEFORE starting plugin for the first time or BEFORE adding new device in SmartAir2.
