You should not change the content of formatBeforePublish, this defines the payload and must stay the same, i.e.

formatBeforePublish="MitsubishiHP,power,%s"

Yes, I should have thought better. The problem, I guess, is that I do not have a very clear view of how the whole thing works.

Anyway, now my OH interface is working perfectly well. Huge thanks to you for all the fantastic help!

I can now replace the cover on my heatpump. My ID is to leave the D1 mini inside the heatpump, underneath the cover. I suppose that the wifi is good enough to reach in there. But I need to ensure that nothing will mess up with the electrical contacts of the D1. Are you leaving your D1 in your heatpump? If so do your cover it with something (maybe just electrical tape) to prevent any electrical accident?

crnjan · January 3, 2021, 9:56pm

I found a small spot that I thought is dry and safe from any humidity, also no metal around … and put/tucked D1 there and closed the cover. So I guess you will need to trust your own judgment on this, specially since it depends on the type of AC how much space is left and where …

One more thing - I turned on the CPU Eco Mode in Tools | Advanced, not sure how much effect it has, but should reduce the D1 module heating … just FYI … not that I had any problem with heating in the first place …

OK will follow your advice. That closes chapter 1 of my heatpump stuff. Chapter 2 will be opened a bit later. It is about another Mitsubishi indoor unit that is being fed by the same exterior unit. Since both units are same brand, same generation, one might think that doing the second will be straightforward, but I do have a couple of concerns. First. this second unit has a completely diffrent layout because rather than a floor model, it is a “cassette”-type unit, embedded in the ceiling of my solarium. The second difference is that rather than being operated by an infrared remote, it has a wired wall-mounted remote. If there is a CN105 plug on the board of that unit, it may already be occupied by that existing wired remote. I don’t know if it is possible to “Y” two such connections together. Anyway, I will try to look into that in a few weeks from now.
Cheers, --Pierre

                                  font-size: var(--f7-badge-in-icon-font-size)

one needs to append following suffixes as below when defining items:

  _RoomTemperature
  _SetTemperature
  _Power
  _Mode
  _Fan
  _Vane
  _WideVane

for example, my living room AC (label/name pairs):

Air Conditioner (gGF_Living_AC)
  Room Temperature (gGF_Living_AC_RoomTemperature)
  Set Temperature (gGF_Living_AC_SetTemperature)
  Power (gGF_Living_AC_Power)
  Mode (gGF_Living_AC_Mode)
  Fan (gGF_Living_AC_Fan)
  Vane (gGF_Living_AC_Vane)
  Wide Vane (gGF_Living_AC_WideVane)

Note: one can omit i.e. _WideVane and it will not be rendered (not all my ACs have wide vane) …

Following above rules AC widget can be added as simple as

- component: widget:air_conditioner
  config:
    prefix: gGF_Living_AC
    title: Living Room AC

For completeness adding mqtt yaml too (please note allowedStates that contains values one can pick in the widget, as seen in the attached animated gif):

muelli1967 · February 12, 2021, 12:15pm

i am using this widget as well as a popup widget for 2 thermostats so thank you all for your work here.

one question, how do you achieve this:

I would like to use this in another widget? It does not seem to be part of the posted YAML, isn´t it?

crnjan · February 12, 2021, 12:25pm

As stated above

you can see

allowedStates: 1,2,3,4,5,SWING,AUTO

but the same can be achieved with adding OPTIONS as metadata to item.

Kattlukt · June 20, 2021, 2:57pm

Thank you for this! Can you tell me how to get this in to Google home/assistant?

jcordeiro · July 29, 2021, 8:50pm

Hi
How are you.
I just finished transferring from arduino to ESPEasy and it does works besides one thing.
The operational status is no longer beeing received:
{“roomTemperature”:24,“operating”:false}
Is it normal? I had this feature in my old systems and it was very handy to mesure the system when it’s in function. Thanks for your precious help

crnjan · July 31, 2021, 5:25am

Plugin is returning the following info currently

{"roomTemperature":23.5,"wideVane":"|","power":"OFF","mode":"COOL","fan":"AUTO","vane":"5","iSee":true,"temperature":22.0}

I guess you mean

bool operating; // if true, the heatpump is operating to reach the desired temperature

This one is not currently part of ESPEasy plugin but should be easy to add …

jcordeiro · July 31, 2021, 11:25am

Hi

That’s right.
The [SwiCago] arduine schema does include it and I used it for around 3 years.

bool HeatPump::getOperating() {
return currentStatus.operating;
}

Thanks for your precious help
José

crnjan · August 2, 2021, 7:11pm

Added support for operating and compressor frequency, test fw for ESP 8266, 4M1M can be downloaded here.

Sample output

{"roomTemperature":25.5,"wideVane":"|","power":"OFF","mode":"COOL","fan":"AUTO","vane":"AUTO","iSee":true,"operating":true,"compressorFrequency":5,"temperature":24.0}

Code

jcordeiro · August 3, 2021, 1:21am

Thank you for your help
I will test it tomorrow

José Cordeiro

jcordeiro · August 7, 2021, 12:23am

Hi

Thanks for your help. it works

crnjan · October 5, 2021, 5:49pm

Was merged so you can use “official” releases, FYI.

jlikonen · October 31, 2022, 11:35am

@ crnjan Hi, I wonder this widget could be used for controlling Mitsubishi heat pump with Procon A1M Modbus card. I can control my Mitsubishi heat pumps with OH3 but would like to use your widget.

crnjan · November 2, 2022, 7:48am

Hey! I guess you can use the widget above to control your HP (maybe some modifications will be required to suit your needs), but I moved to a customised version of Heating widget since `oh-knob’ seems a bit to sensitive (specially when being used on a phone) and set temperature changed quite often undesirably (maybe I just got thick fingers :)) …

jlikonen · November 3, 2022, 5:55am

OK, many thanks for the info. I’ll have a look at your widget and check whether I can use it. I’m also using the heating widget for controlling the underfloor heating system but I don’t know how you could use it for a HP which has different modes and the vanes.

crnjan · November 3, 2022, 6:40am

As said, I’m using a custmized version of heating widget …
