How do you mean that it’s been blacklisted? The python script? If it’s blacklisted by OH, I guess you’ll need to add it to an exec.whitelist file. Fe: in /etc/openhab2/misc/exec.whitelist
/etc/openhab2/scripts/midea_check.sh
/etc/openhab2/scripts/midea_start.sh
Personally, I start the python script over a standard linux cron (every 20 min check and restart if necessary).
In the new updated version which uses the LAN conntection. Is the 17 degree bug still existent (the bug where it resets the air conditioner to 17 degree fan all the time ?
if i do:
python3 main.py
I get the following:

So it is making connection to the AC’s but i don’t know how to connect it to openhab.
Should i create things or bindings?
i already created the following items:
Switch ac_Woonkamer_online "Online [%s]" <switch> (GF_LivingRoom)
Switch ac_Woonkamer_power_state "Power state [%s]" <switch> (GF_LivingRoom)
Number ac_Woonkamer_operational_mode "Modus []" <pump> (GF_LivingRoom)
Switch ac_Woonkamer_active "Actief [%s]" <switch> (GF_LivingRoom)
Number ac_Woonkamer_target_temperature "Doel temperatuur [%d°C]" <temperature_cold> (GF_LivingRoom)
Number ac_Woonkamer_indoor_temperature "Binnen temperatuur [%.1f°C]" <temperature> (GF_LivingRoom)
Number ac_Woonkamer_outdoor_temperature "Buiten temperatuur [%.1f°C]" <temperature> (GF_LivingRoom)
Number ac_Woonkamer_fan_speed "Fan speed []" <fan> (GF_LivingRoom)
Number ac_Woonkamer_swing_mode "Swing mode []" <flow> (GF_LivingRoom)
Switch ac_Woonkamer_eco_mode "Eco mode [%s]" <switch> (GF_LivingRoom)
Switch ac_Woonkamer_turbo_mode "Turbo mode [%s]" <switch> (GF_LivingRoom)
Switch ac_Zolder_online "Online [%s]" <switch> (AT_Bedroom)
Switch ac_Zolder_power_state "Power state [%s]" <switch> (AT_Bedroom)
Number ac_Zolder_operational_mode "Modus []" <pump> (AT_Bedroom)
Switch ac_Zolder_active "Actief [%s]" <switch> (AT_Bedroom)
Number ac_Zolder_target_temperature "Doel temperatuur [%d°C]" <temperature_cold> (AT_Bedroom)
Number ac_Zolder_indoor_temperature "Binnen temperatuur [%.1f°C]" <temperature> (AT_Bedroom)
Number ac_Zolder_outdoor_temperature "Buiten temperatuur [%.1f°C]" <temperature> (AT_Bedroom)
Number ac_Zolder_fan_speed "Fan speed []" <fan> (AT_Bedroom)
Number ac_Zolder_swing_mode "Swing mode []" <flow> (AT_Bedroom)
Switch ac_Zolder_eco_mode "Eco mode [%s]" <switch> (AT_Bedroom)
Switch ac_Zolder_turbo_mode "Turbo mode [%s]" <switch> (AT_Bedroom)
(BTW. I am running on a hyper-v ubuntu-linux 20.04 server)
No binding or thing needed. The python script does the work. Just be sure that this script is running. I created a small script that checks every 20 minutes if it runs, and if not, it (tries) to start it.
Add (gPersChng) to each item lines. My items for reference:
Switch ac_Leefruimte_online "Leefruimte [%s]" <switch> (gPersChng, hvac)
Switch ac_Leefruimte_power_state "Status[%s]" <switch> (gPersChng, hvac_On, hvac_leefruimte_status)
Number ac_Leefruimte_operational_mode "Mode [%s]" <pump> (gPersChng, hvac_operational_mode)
Switch ac_Leefruimte_active "Activeer [%s]" <switch> (gPersChng)
Number ac_Leefruimte_target_temperature "Gewenste temperatuur [%d ÂC]" <temperature_cold> (gPersChng, hvac_target_temperature)
Number ac_Leefruimte_indoor_temperature "HVAC Hal [%.1f ÂC]" <temperature> (gPersChng, hvac_indoor_temperature, tem_HAL, tem_LEE, WO_tem)
Number a...
Before there was a bug that each time data was pulled that the air condition unit would switch mode to fan and switch to 17 degrees. Is that still the case with the latest version of the script ?
In my case, it works as expected. My temperature stays stable (fe the whole day here at 24), and mode is cooling now. But it’s auto in my case. I don’t really change this.
@brononius I have just installed the midea-msmart via pip3 as shown on the github page of the project on my openhabian.
Could you please advice on how I can use this new midea-msmart with openhab.
I am a little lost right now
Guess I’ll need some extra info to know where you are. 
Did you update the settings.py file with your specific settings?
Are you running the python script?
When you start this script, it gives you direct some good info about the status of your connection.
Btw, this script must run the whole time! so best to run it in a script that you start when you boot.
Not sure where you placed it, but in my case:
python3 /etc/openhab2/scripts/midea/main.py
Did you create the OpenHAB items already?
If so, do you have any entries for the items in the events.log?
Hello guys,
Is there anyone who could create an midea2mqtt version with this script?
That would make it easy to setup for everyone.
I would pay for a development of that.
best,
salexes
There is also a LAN branch from bricky now:
The only issue I have with that is that when using it the sound/beep is missing. Any idea how to get it back/activate the sound when using this script?
Trying out the LAN version.
I can nicely poll the unit, and the first run gives me all necessary data.
But then, something goes wrong?

What version of python are you using? I’m currently on 3.8.
I’m also running OH3, not sure if that has an impact on the OH_URL?
I am using openhab 2 still for me everything works. (Except there is no audible feedback anymore when changing something)
In main.py, I’ve changed line 141 in main.py to
response = session.put(url, data=value, headers={'Content-type': 'text/plain'})
Functions seem to be working:
I’m missing the update of the indoor_temperature. That part isn’t working for the moment. Looks like just one update with start?
Sometimes, I’m still having following error. But not so often as before. Looks like it’s not every run anymore.

Glad you have found a solution to make it work with OH 3.0, will switch to it soon as well… Once I got the time to do it.
Will check later if indor temperature is updating for me when using it on oh 2.5
Any idea to get the “beep” sound back ?
The outdoor temperature has been updated 346 in the last 12 hours (of course, I’m having 4 inside units, so 80x / 12 hour?). The inside temperature is updated 36? So 9x / 12 hour?
Maybe a ‘small’ details, degrees seem to be only measure with 0,5 degrees difference? So maybe it’s normal that these temperatures aren’t so often updated as fe a KNX or zwave sensor?
Any idea if this is build in the hvac units, or if it’s something in the script?
I’ll check later on if I have a beeping sound when I change something…
Hello guys!
Could somebody write a short Howto for installing and configuring LAN version on Raspberry pi?
I have RPi 3B+ with Openhabian (OH3).
I dont want to break installation…
I don’t have the midea k02 wifi Key, i found this git : GitHub - Links2004/arduinoMideaAC: hack job for decoding and sending Midea AC Serial commands
With a custom esp8266, i ordered everything and I will give it a try.
Somebody did something similar?
If you are interested, everything work great with an ESP32 : [Tutorial] Connect your dumb Midea AC Unit to Openhab with MQTT
