[Tutorial] Connect your dumb Midea AC Unit to Openhab with MQTT

[Tukks (Giuseppe)]

Hello everyone,

I have 2 Riello air conditioner unit, looking online I found that this Ac unit are in fact a rebranded Midea AC.
This AC Unit can be connected to a proprietary cloud via a WIFI USB key (ref: sk-103 or k02 wifi usb) sell online for 50€ each.
And I didn’t want to spend 100€ just to attach and esp8266 at my AC unit and link to my openhab instance.
So I looked around on github, and I found this repo : GitHub - Links2004/arduinoMideaAC: hack job for decoding and sending Midea AC Serial commands to use my AC with an ESP32 and MQTT.

So here how to do it.

Software Part :

Download the code from GitHub - Links2004/arduinoMideaAC: hack job for decoding and sending Midea AC Serial commands
Put midea.cpp and midea.h under src folder to \Arduino\libraries\midea
open midea.h and modify this line (if you don’t do that, the project will not build on ESP32) :

#ifdef __AVR__
    typedef void (*acSerialEvent)(ac_status_t * status);
  #else
    typedef std::function<void(ac_status_t * status)> acSerialEvent;
  #endif

with
typedef std::function<void(ac_status_t * status)> acSerialEvent;

Open arduinoIDE and create a new project.
copy paste this content into your IDE : #2 add MQTT example for Esp32 by Tukks · Pull Request #3 · Links2004/arduinoMideaAC · GitHub

Change SSID, Password, Mqtt server IP, and the topic if you want.
If you have 2 AC Unitm you need to change the Mqtt Client Id, and put something different for each one at this line :

if (client.connect("acsalon", "openhabian", NULL)) {

• Change acsalon for an Id you want,
• openhabian is my username to connect to my mosquito broker, change if different.
• NULL is for the password of mosquitto, put it if you have one

Now connect your ESP32, and upload the project.

Hardware Part :
Here’s what you need :

• an ESP32 https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32806450471.html
• And logic level converter https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32482721005.html
• some wire jump : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32758932992.html
• a iron solder
• some pin https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32878876177.html

First you need to unsolder the USB female from the AC Unit. After, that solder 4 pin to the 4 new hole in the AC Unit ex-usb.
Link GPIO1 (Tx) and GPIO3 (RX) from ESP32 to BSCL and BSDA of the logic level converter.
Link the 3v3 pin of the esp32 to BVCC, and GND from esp32 to BGND
Link the AC Unit GND to AGND
Link the AC Unit 5V to AVCC
Link the AC Unit RX to ASCL
Link the AC Unit TX to ASCL

Now everything is connected.
Subscribe to “esp32/acbureau/state” and you will see some data coming.
if you want to control it, send to “esp32/acbureau/command” and send :
{“on”:true,“turbo”:false,“eco”:false,“soll”:23,“lamelle”:false,“mode”:4,“fan”:0}
Possible value :

• on : true/false
• turbo : true/false
• eco : true/false
• soll (temperature): number
• lamelle: true/false
• mode : number, Heat=“4”, Cool=“2”, Auto=“1”, Fan=“5”, Dry=“3”
• fan : number, Min= 1, Medium = 2, High = 3 or Auto = 0

And your AC will power On.

If needed I can provide my items file too.

Hope it help someone, I searched for 3 month on internet and I found nothing until now.
A big thanks to Links2004 on github.

Cheers

Hi Giuseppe,

thank you very much for your tutorial!

I have a Midea/ Dimstal split air conditioner and I built the serial interface as described to control and monitor the system with OH3.

Receiving the data works fine so far.
Topic:openhab/in/DGKlima/state
Data: [{“is”:22. 5, “outside”:17.5, “conf”:{“on”:true, “turbo”:false, “eco”:false, “soll”:23, “lamelle”:true, “mode”:2, “fan”:0}}]

Unfortunately, my AC system always turns off immediately when I send the following data via MQTT:
Topic: openhab/out/DGKlima/command
Data: {“on”:true,“soll”:18,“lamelle”:true,“mode”:2,“fan”:0}

Do you have any idea what this could be?

One more request:
Would you provide your Things/ Items files, that would be a great help.

Thanks
Dirk

Hello,

Did you try to send the whole json : {“on”:true,“turbo”:false,“eco”:false,“soll”:23,“lamelle”:false,“mode”:4,“fan”:0}
I see in your json, you miss some properties.
I’m not currently home, I will post here my items and thing with my rules.

Edit :
I made an update to the ino script, the last one has a problem, sometime the wifi disconnect, here’s the updated one :

/**
   I used this code with an ESP32 devkit 1
   and with a logic level converter :
   https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32482721005.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1dc64c4dDrGSej
   or https://protosupplies.com/product/i2c-logic-level-converter-with-regulator-module/
   I linked GPIO1 (Tx) and GPIO3 (RX) to BSCL and BSDA of the level shifter
   Linked the 3v3 pin of the esp32 to BVCC, and GND from esp32 to BGND

   Unsolderer the USB port from AC unit
   Linked the AC Unit GND to AGND
   Linked the AC Unit 5V to AVCC
   Linked the AC Unit RX to ASCL
   Linked the AC Unit TX to ASCL

   NOTE : In the mideaAC.h file, in the source folder, I removed this part :
   #ifdef __AVR__
      typedef void (*acSerialEvent)(ac_status_t * status);
    #else
      typedef std::function<void(ac_status_t * status)> acSerialEvent;
    #endif
       and replaced with :
    typedef std::function<void(ac_status_t * status)> acSerialEvent;

    {"on":false,"turbo":false,"eco":false,"soll":23,"lamelle":false,"mode":4,"fan":off}

Hi,
thanks for the update of the arduino sketch, i will compile and flash it later.

I tried to send the complete JSON, this caused the air conditioner to turn off immediately.
The short version without ECO Mode and TURBO Mode now works for me. Great!

I am currently testing everything with “MQTT Spy” and not yet with openHAB.

For the setup in openHAB 3.1 I would like to use your Things/Items/Rules.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Cheers

I don’t know how to export my items from the UI, do you have any clue?

@Tukks

I don’t know how to export my items from the UI

I think that’s missing at the moment, but API Explorer can show the structure of Items in a similar way.

[DirkF]

Hello,

just wow! It works!

I have adapted your Things and Rules to my needs and created my Items.
I still create my Items and Things in files, so I can edit them better and also export them.

If someone is interested in my configuration for the Midea air conditioner, I can make them available here (they are in german though).

My big thanks go to Giuseppe and the original developer “Links2004” on github.

[Eisi1482 (Sebastian Eisinger)]

Hi @Tukks,

do you have any idea what is needed to port this sketch to an ESP8266?

Kind regards,
Sebastian

[Eisi1482 (Sebastian Eisinger)]

Ok. Made I to compile for ESP8266. Had to do some changes like using ESP8266WiFi.h instead of WiFi.h and Serial instead of Serial2.

Actually I’m struggling with the wiring between the converter board and the ac. Could anyone (@DirkF or @Tukks) who has it running provide an image of the wiring? Any help is appreciated

[DirkF]

Hi Sebastian,
this was my test environment which works fine:

The connection between AC and the level converter is a cut USB cable from which the 4 wires black/green/white/red are connected directly to the level converter.
Does this help ?

Cheers,
Dirk

[Eisi1482 (Sebastian Eisinger)]

Hi @DirkF,

thanks for the image. That helps and clarifies things Just fiddling around with the mqtt connection to get stable. Had a lot reconnects so have to dive into that first.

Regards
Sebastian

[Eisi1482 (Sebastian Eisinger)]

Want to let you know that all is working now. Thanks for your help

PS: The reason for the mqtt reconnects in my case was too much log output to serial1 and delay statements which where only used for debugging purpose

[Eisi1482 (Sebastian Eisinger)]

I made some light improvements to your sketch and moved over to asynchronous libraries of wifi, mqtt and web server.

If anyone is interested it can be found under https://github.com/Eisi1482/midea-ac-async.

[spottich (nic re)]

Hello an good day,

i had changed the code for the esp 8266 with eisi1482 changes of the wifi and serial lib.
The connection to my mqtt broker is established but there is no communication between the a/a (midea).

Is it Possible to talk direcly with an successful installer of this solution like eisi or an other pro ?

thx spottich

[Eisi1482 (Sebastian Eisinger)]

Did you upload your code somewhere to review it? What do you mean by changes of serial lib? Did your solution worked before your changes? Had you successfully established a connection to your ac? If so break it down into little changes and see where it gets broken.

[spottich (nic re)]

RE thx for the reply.

It is the complete Code from the first Post.

I switched now to an esp 32 where the upload is successful. But i have an brownout.
It is very curious. Now I have used an bigger powersolution an it runs.
But the cammand {“on”:true,“turbo”:false,“eco”:false,“soll”:18,“lamelle”:true,“mode”:1,“fan”:0}
didnt run. The A/C do nothing.

Could the last problem being that i use the sk-102 stick ?

thx

[kgfgfg1]

Hi Dirk,

would be great if you can share your rule File.
I also still edit my whole configuration in the files.

So far everything works with the ESP32 at the AirCon and openhab/mqtt. Thanks for your Picture from the breadboard.

My Issue right now is, that I have understood JsonPath as a two way Path to get and push the Data transformed to and from my items. That is where I am stuck right now if I want to keep the rules in the file version. I have successfully implemented the javascript ruleset via the Openhab GUI which i do not like to have an mix of GUI and file configuration.

Hi kgfgfg1,

I edit my Things and Items in files, since these are rather static.
I edit my rules in the OH3 GUI, so I have the possibility to change a rule remotely and flexibly.
I think it should be no problem to put my rule in a file.

Here is my (GUI-) rule to control the air conditioner:

var logger = Java.type('org.slf4j.LoggerFactory').getLogger('org.openhab.rule.' + ctx.ruleUID);      
var onOff = ir.getItem("Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_power_state").state + '' === 'OFF' ? false : true;
var turbo = ir.getItem("Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_turbo_mode").state+ '' === 'OFF' ? false : true;
var eco = ir.getItem("Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_eco_mode").state+ '' === 'OFF' ? false : true;
var lamelle = ir.getItem("Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_swing_mode").state+ '' === 'OFF' ? false : true;
var mode = ir.getItem("Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_operational_mode").state + '' ; 
var fan = ir.getItem("Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_fan_speed").state + '' ; 
var temp = ir.getItem("Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_target_temperature").state; 
var logger = Java.type('org.slf4j.LoggerFactory').getLogger('org.openhab.rule.' + ctx.ruleUID); 

logger.info(event.itemName);

switch (event.itemName) {
    case 'Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_operational_mode':
        mode = event.itemCommand;
        break;
    case 'Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_fan_speed':
        fan = event.itemCommand;
        break;
    case 'Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_swing_mode':
        lamelle = event.itemCommand + '' === 'OFF' ? false : true;
        break;
    case 'Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_eco_mode':
        eco = event.itemCommand + ''=== 'OFF' ? false : true;
        break;
    case 'Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_turbo_mode':
        turbo = event.itemCommand + ''=== 'OFF' ? false : true;
        break;
    case 'Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_power_state':
        onOff = event.itemCommand + ''=== 'OFF' ? false : true;
        break;
    case 'Dachgeschoss_Klimaanlage_target_temperature':
        temp = event.itemCommand;
        break;                
    default:

       
}
actions.get("mqtt", "mqtt:broker:mosquitto")
    .publishMQTT("openhab/out/DGKlima/command", "{\"on\":" + onOff + ",\"turbo\":" + turbo + ",\"eco\":" + eco + ",\"soll\":" + temp + ",\"lamelle\":" + lamelle + ",\"mode\":" + mode + ",\"fan\":" + fan + "}");

Hope it helps
Greetings,
Dirk

Hi, i have look to what you did and i try to do a project with arduino mega and have hard time to make it work if you could help me out i could compensate for you time best regards

Tell me how to replace the lines correctly.

class acSerial {
public:
#ifdef AVR
typedef void (*acSerialEvent)(ac_status_t * status);
#else
typedef std::function<void(ac_status_t * status)> acSerialEvent;
#endif
