It works perfectly. Thanks

Luca,
i have done some testing with three split units and it seems to work like a charm both on sending command to the unit and to receive updated status.

The only things that was not correct is the naming of the channels related to the split thing. The vertical vane and the horizontal one are both named “Vane Horizontal”.

One last thing: From MELcloud application it is possible to set some “preset” scene or “Scheduled” events. Do you think that these features could be implemented within the binding? it will require huge efforts compared to the additional functionalities (preset, scene or scheduling could be always done inside openhab)? or it will be impossible to implement?

Luca_Calcaterra · July 2, 2019, 9:09am

@Cellipo , thanks for your feedback, i’ll check the names of Vanes.
For presets, i think it’s possible, even have not much sense, since you can mange it with Openhab . But i’ll open a new ticket issue on the repo for future updates.

Thanks for any feedback you want to give me.

@Cellipo Wrong label on vertical vane has benn fixed on latest release (2.2)

Ciao @Luca_Calcaterra,
I installed the latest release and did everything described in the readme. I added A.C. devices as things by discovery, however it seems that they can’t get their initial status, in fact I have these lines in the openhab.log:

2019-07-10 09:50:25.625 [WARN ] [ternal.handler.MelCloudDeviceHandler] - No initial data available, ignore command

Do you have any suggestion? I’m sorry but I don’t know how to enable debug level logging.
Thank you

Luca_Calcaterra · July 10, 2019, 10:59am

@SlimJoe Hi (Ciao ) try to rollback to previous release, latest have issues that must be fixed

SlimJoe · July 10, 2019, 5:08pm

It worked with release 2.1, thank you!

MadFellow · July 20, 2019, 6:38pm

I tried to install the MELCloud Binding but i couldn’t add Things to the Binding.
I can see the Binding under Configuration - Bindings.
These steps i have done:

Download the Binding from https://github.com/lucacalcaterra/org.openhab.binding.melcloud/releases/download/2.1/org.openhab.binding.melcloud-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar to /usr/share/openhab2/addons
Installed the gson library like pauli-anttila’s Post

Can anybody help me? Thank you!

MadFellow · July 20, 2019, 7:10pm

I have deactivated the Amazon Echo Steuerung Binding, now it worked.
Strange.
Great Binding!

Continuing the discussion from MELCloud Binding Mitubishi:

Hello Luca
I installed the plugin on openhab to interface and control an ecodan air / water system with mac-567if-e interface
when I do the search it does not find the device
if I add it manually it doesn’t work
Thanks for your help

Ciao Luca
ho installato il plugin su openhab per interfacciare e controllare un sistema aria/acqua ecodan con interfaccia mac-567if-e
quando faccio la ricerca non trova il device
se lo aggiungo manualmente non funziona
grazie per l’aiuto

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

in previous versions only devices in main building and no area were listed.
I added listing of all devices and this was merged into master and present in release 2.3.
It lists my 3 AC devices just fine so you can give it a try.

Hi Vincent,
if you’re not using the 2.5 milestone release you need to install the dependencies manually to run 2.0+ versions.
You can also download an older version and this should work fine on openHAB 2.4.

vincentpigree · September 15, 2019, 6:30am

désoler je n avais pas vu votre réponse
comment faire pour installer la version 2.5?
désoler je suis nouveau

vincentpigree · October 17, 2019, 11:39am

Good morning all !
I have an ecodan air / water system with PAC-WF010-E interface
I installed thepluginhttps://github.com/lucacalcaterra/org.openhab.binding.melcloud/releases/download/2.1/org.openhab.binding.melcloud-2.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

when I do a search he finds my periphery:

in paper ui I see them online:

in my control I do not really know:

but then when I try to use it, what is it that I can tell me what I do wrong?

thank you for your answers!!!

Hi Vincent,

glad you managed to get the binding installed.
The current version only supports AC device and treats every device as such.
It tries to control your air / water system with the commands from an AC unit which won’t work.
There are 2 issues open on GitHub for this:

and a version with initial support for your device is linked into one of those issues.

thewiep · October 27, 2019, 10:57am

I added a new build to this issue:

Works great, thank you!

dastrix80 · November 6, 2019, 12:19am

Does this work with all Mitsu systems that use the WIFI interface?

EDIT: ONLY WORKS IN EU

Sthomas · November 10, 2019, 12:25pm

Hi,

trying the heatpump build, added jar to addons folder, set permissions. It appears in PaperUI, configuration -> Bindings. When attempting to add Thing for Bridge in Paper UI, Inbox -> + -> MelCloud Binding, nothing appears on screen. Similarly, nothing appears in log files.

Any pointers?
