Cannot connect but previously worked before AC FW upgrade

Hi,

Previously this integration worked, then i upgraded my Gree ACs to FW version v1.23. After this, the integration has stopped working.

I can ping the ACs and there are no firewall issues. Here is my config:

  • platform: gree
    name: Master Bedroom AC
    host: 192.168.12.19
    port: 7000
    mac: '94:24:B8:XX:XX:XX'
    target_temp_step: 1
    horizontal_swing: true
    lights: input_boolean.mb_ac_light

The climate entities just show "unavaliable".

Using latest version of integration 2.14.0 (tried older versions also). I can confirm port 7000 is open, but interestingly, even a similar nodered integration fails to connect. I have tried 3x ACs all are behaving the same way.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

if I'm not mistaken, FW 1.23 requires encryption version: 2 in the configuration.

@toughvj this is what I am struggling to get. The ACs were joined to the Gree app using an iPhone.

How can I get the v2 encryption key? I can't find any documentation.

Thanks.

You don't need encryption key. Set encryption_version: 2 in config and that's all.
