midea ac duo

新功能的描述

This is a continuation of this issue from last year: georgezhao2010/midea_ac_lan#243

in the midea app, it is possible to manually set the angle of the vertical vent on the midea 12k btu ac unit and the midea duo (i have both). I would love it if it was possible to manually set the vent direction in home assistant, as I am currently having to do it maually using the midea app.

happy to help troubleshoot or debug or run test code!

Can you please provide the device serial number?

You can install midea-local python package and midealocal discover should show that number.

Hey @rokam - not OP however I have the same features in the Midea Air app and would love to see them in midea_air_ac

Looking at my home assistant ./storage/midea_air_ac/ dir i've got two .json which look to be serial / identifier numbers for both my units.

Their details are as follows:
Brand: Carrier
Model Name: Carrier Allure Split System Inverter Hi Wall 3.5kW
Model Number: 42QHG035N8 / 38QHG035N8 (outdoor)

These are both using official carrier / midea usb wifi dongles.

The .json have the following with some details removed:
{
"name": "removed",
"device_id": removed,
"type": 172,
"protocol": 3,
"ip_address": "removed",
"port": 6444,
"model": "00000Q1A",
"subtype": 8,
"token": "removed",
"key": "removed"
}

If you require the device id / other details please let me know.

I need the serial number to get the lua protocol file. This can be archived with midealocal discover -d command. Or you can use midealocal download --host <ip_address> and share the lua file here.

Had to install a virtual environment under nixos, eventually got there.

Serial for both units is:
000000P0000000Q1A8407D879EB70000

Using the command:
midealocal discover -d --host ac.ip.address.here

I have a unit like this as well, however the serial on mine is different (I don't know what the SN is in this context but it doesn't seem to be the unit's unique production identifier, correct? Certainly not the same number as is printed on the label)

Here's mine in case it helps out.
