Anyone using IntesisHome WiFi control of mini-split AC?

hmerk · September 1, 2020, 10:54am

I have finished a major refactoring of the Intesis Binding, review will hopefully be done soon.
What is new / has changed:

All channels beside ON/OFF and allowed values will be added dynamically at first Thing initialization
Allowed values for added channels are listed as properties
Allowed values changed from Number to String to better allign with homeKit, Alexa and GoogleAssistant.

The new SNAPSHOT version and readme can be found here:

You could check my version of the Intesis Binding. Most channels and stateOptions are created on the reported values from the device.

Appreciate your work very much. I’m stuck with an Intensis Home IS-IR-WIFI-1 which only works via Intensis Home website. There are no open ports available on this model.

Typo in your code? “intesis” instead of “intensis”? Keep up the good work!

Edit: @hmerk, always thought it was Intensis but you are right. It’s Intesis.

hmerk · September 1, 2020, 6:05pm

If there is no open port, There is nor much we can do.

It is definitely intesis, not intensis😉

@rb44 @delid4ve @ccutrer While reviwe for the Intesis Binding is still ongoing, I started refactoring your IntesisBox Binding to have a combinde Binding for IntesisBox and IntesisHome devices.
It was necessary to change the channel names for simplification and I also moved som channels to thing properties. Would be great if you could try this alpha version for IntesisBox and provide feedback.
Compiled Jar and Sources can be found here:

Great news: The Intesis Binding with support for IntesisHome WiFi device is included in the openHAB 2.5.9 Release, which is scheduled for later today.

Next step should be to integrate IntesisBox devices, but I will need help on that, as I don‘t have those devices.
Would be great to have this ready for openHAB 3.0…

rb44 · September 21, 2020, 1:28am

@hmerk as a quick test I dropped in the jar and configured the ip-address after disabling my current intesisbox addon. Hope this helps.

Thanks @rb44, I will check and try to provide a new test version during the next couple of days.

hmerk · September 21, 2020, 8:05am

Guess I found the issue, there was a typo (intesisbox intead of intesisBox) in thing-types.xml…

rb44 · September 21, 2020, 8:15am

Cool. I’ll run a new tests when if needed

hmerk · September 21, 2020, 11:41am

I have uploaded a new 2.5.10-SNAPSHOT version, please give it a try.

Thanks for testing, I will check later.

New test version can be downloaded in my repo.

@hmerk Power is working, no other channels listed, minor issue with the setup recognising the default port value.

In detail the binding initially would not read the default port number from the setup going OFFLINE while in the background still attempting to keep alive.

I typed in the PORT value and saved to overwrite the default and the binding came online (maybe a save was sufficient, don’t know)

Thanks for testing, i will take a look tomorrow…

rb44 · September 23, 2020, 1:54am

No problem. Going forward we might want to use private email to spare this thread some back and forth …

hmerk · October 8, 2020, 9:19am

To whom it may concern

After the intesis binding has been merged into openHAB 2.5.9, I started working with @rb44 on implementing the IntesisBox support to be added into openHAB 3.0.
We have now started the pull request to have the additions reviewed and hopefully merged soon.
So there is a good chance to have a complete Intesis Binding within openHAB 3.0 release.

rb44 · October 12, 2020, 4:10am

Quick followup, Intesis binding looking good and working well. It’s up 24/7 of course, never missed a beat. Attached a couple of screenshots

hmerk · October 12, 2020, 10:08am

Sounds great !!!
