Can you support the `Anti Direct Blowing Wind Shield` feature
Closed this issue · 24 comments
My gree air conditioner has a feature called Anti Direct Blowing Wind Shield, which is to prevent the cold wind blowing directly on people, I can control it by the Gree+ app.
Can you support this feature?
or if there a way to keep the previous status of this so called Anti Direct Blowing Wind Shield, cause every time I turn on this feature using the Gree+ app, and next time turn on the air conditioner using home assistant, the status of this feature just gone.
Thanks for your work.
Can you provide device model?
@toughvj How can I find the device model? On the Gree+ app, it displayed as 云轩(it’s a Chinese name and I don’t know corresponding English version)
Should be located somewhere on unit.
Does it begin with KFR-xxx(some numbers and alphabets)
Yeah
It’s KFR-35GNhHc1BAt
This is Gree unit?
yeah, why asking (I am not sure it’s a global or Chinese only)
Does it looks like U Crown series?
I just googled the U Crown series and Yeah it looks like U Crown series.
the rectangular unit is placed high up on the wall , so the cold air from the ac might blow directly on people. Therefore, this unit comes with this feature.
Have you tried to achieve this effect by setting some od fixed vertical swing position?
I'll try it later to see if this meet my needs
@toughvj after extract Gree+'s app data, I can see the unit support those commands:
["SetTem","Add0.5","TemRec","Mod","functype","WdSpd","Tur","Quiet","SwUpDn","SmartWind","SwingLfRig","Health","Lig","LigSen","AntiDirectBlow","UnmanedShutDown","SwhSlp","SlpMod","AppTimer","Pow","AssHt","TemSen"], and there is a command called AntiDirectBlow,
and the status of AntiDirectBlow would looks like: {"AntiDirectBlow":1} or {"AntiDirectBlow":0}, 1 means open and 0 means off.
You can try with attached file. Remember to add input_boolean helper and then add it to configuration of unit:
anti_direct_blow: input_boolean. with given name
climate.txt
please give any feedback.
Thanks for your help, I’ll try it later this week and will let you know if it works.
@toughvj it seemed that the attached file miss the {AntiDirectBlow} value of “p” para on line 320, it works well after correct this.
I’m so glad you made this happen, will you consider publishing this?
yes, I found this bug yesterday. This feature is in latest PR. waiting for @RobHofmann
👍Can’t wait to see this.
@red3 can U try attached file, if this is working or throw any errors?
climate.txt
I’ll try this tomorrow, this version makes any changes?
yes, it changes the way a device is added to HA even if it is unplugged when HA starts. Rob reports errors and it works fine for me.
it's working fine on my side, and I can see the following logs:
available(): Device is online
