Climate_IP - IP based climate device for Home Assistant

Implementation of ClimateDevice for controlling IP based AC units. This component is able to work with any AC unit which can be controlled with REST API. At this moment it is configured to work with:

Samsung AC units available at port 8888 (new generation, REST API)
Samsung AC units available at port 2878 (old generation, socket communication)
Samsung MIM-H03 controller (REST API, port 8888)
Samsung MIM-H04 controller via Smarthings cloud (REST API)

Support for any unit working with REST API can be easily added via YAML configuration file.

This component was created by SebuZet, he however appears to be MIA so I have forked and repaired his component https://github.com/SebuZet/samsungrac

Installation

Download all files from repo to newly created folder
move folder custom_components/climate_ip to your <ha_configuration_folder>

In configuration.yaml file add section:

For new generation units (REST API, port 8888)

- platform: climate_ip
  config_file: 'samsungrac.yaml'
  ip_address: 'device_ip'
  token: 'token'
  cert: 'ac14k_m.pem'

For MIM-H03 controller (REST API, port 8888)

- platform: climate_ip
  config_file: 'mim-h03_heatpump.yaml'
  ip_address: 'device_ip'
  token: 'token'
  cert: 'ac14k_m.pem'

For old generation units:

- platform: climate_ip
  config_file: 'samsung_2878.yaml'
  ip_address: 'device_ip'
  token: 'token'
  cert: 'ac14k_m.pem' #set as '' to skip certificate verification
  mac: 'AB:cd:EF:gh:IJ'
  poll: True

For Samsung EHS Mono Quiet heat pump with MIM-H04EN controller connected to Smartthings:

# hot water controller
- platform: climate_ip
  name: Samsung EHS DHW
  config_file: /config/custom_components/climate_ip/samsung_smartthings_dhw.yaml
  ip_address: api.smartthings.com
  device_id: aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee
  token: !secret smartthings_token
# heating controller
- platform: climate_ip
  name: Samsung EHS Heating
  config_file: /config/custom_components/climate_ip/samsung_smartthings_hvac.yaml
  ip_address: api.smartthings.com
  device_id: aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee
  token: !secret smartthings_token

Configuration

Configuration parameters:

Parameter	description	Required
config_file	YAML configuration filename	Yes
ip_address	Device IP address (e.g. 192.178.1.200)	Yes
token	Access token gathered from the device	Yes
cert_file	certificate file name (default: ac14k_m.pem, Use None to not use certification)	Usually Yes
mac	MAC address of device	Only 2878 devices
name	Device name (by default this value is taken from YAML config file)	No
controller	Controller type to use (default, and the only one for now: yaml)	No
poll	Enable/disable state polling. Default: Taken from YAML config. Enabled for old gen devices	No
device_id	Set the device for controllers like MIM-H03, which can control multiple air con units	No. Strongly recommended for MIM-H03. Defaults to `032000000`
debug	Enable/disable more debugs. Default: False	No

You need to have your device token. I will create a guide to gather it
If you're using MIM-H03, you may need your device ID, this can be had by running the following command and select your aircon device. It might be device 0.

curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer __DEVICE_TOKEN__" --cert ac14k_m.pem -X GET https://__CLIMATE_IP_HOST__:8888/devices/

YAML configuration You can easily add, remove or modify any device paramter to meet device capabilities.

YAML configuration file syntax

climate:
  - platform: climate_ip
    config_file: '/config/custom_components/climate_ip/samsung_2878.yaml'
    ip_address: 192.178.1.200
    token: SDADSAGFDfsdgdf234323
    mac: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
    name: 'AC Living Room'
    poll: True

Functionality

Functionality depends on yaml configuration file and can be easily changed by editing those files. Currently configuration provides:

For new generation units (REST API, port 8888)
- turn device on and off
- sets and reads target/min/max temperatures
- sets and reads swing direction
- sets and reads fan level
- sets and reads fan maximum level
- sets and reads special mode (2Step, Comfort, Quiet etc)
- sets and reads good sleep mode
- turn purify mode on and off
- turn auto clean mode on and off
- turn beep mode on and off
- read current indoor temperature
- read device configuration
For old generation units
- turn device on and off
- sets and reads target temperature
- sets and reads swing direction (if supported)
- sets and reads fan level (if supported)
- sets and reads special mode (Comfort, Quiet etc)
- turn purify mode on and off (if supported)
- turn auto clean mode on and off (if supported)
- read current indoor temperature
- read device configuration

Using

Default functionality

This component implements Home Assistant ClimateDevice class. Functionality enabled in HA by default:

turn device on/off
select fan mode
select swing mode
select target temperatures (min, max and target)

Device specific functions

Device specific functionality is added as extra service called climate.climate_ip_set_property. Every device attribute can be set using this service with proper params.

{
  "entity_id" : "climate.salon_ac",
  "power" : "on",
  "purify" : "on",
  "special_mode" : "comfort"
}

Switches for special functions

To make controllig device as easy as possible user can create template switches for operations defined as Switch (please see configuration file). Below is an example of template switch for Purify option

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      purify:
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('climate.salon_ac', 'purify', 'on') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: climate.climate_ip_set_property
          data:
            entity_id: climate.salon_ac
            purify: 'on'
        turn_off:
          service: climate.climate_ip_set_property
          data:
            entity_id: climate.salon_ac
            purify: 'off'
