request for AC3259/60

Closed this issue · 6 comments

I have tried but it does not connect & i dont know how to run pyton I just use Home assistant

happy to have a go but dont know how to run pyton

used to control this fine though Alexa but that also no longer seems to work after the latest update alex/philips

The AC3259 should be supported - unless the A3259/60 is different from other AC3259.

To run Python, you must have access to a command line on a machine, ideally the same machine HomeAssistant is running on. You need to Google to find out how that works for your setup.

it used to work but doesnt since philips made it you have to connect with same wifi name!

Do you mean you had the device on a different Wifi network before? Could it be that HA doesn't see your device anymore when you changed the network?

I have multi vlans and wifi access point it used to work fine until philips restricted what wifi name you connect it too so I now dont use it wifi any more as its useless with the restriction as my phone is on the 5G one and the air purifier only works on the 2g network

so have got arond it by using a smart plug to turn power on and off instead (just announing that they put stupid resriction on there wifi conection!!!)

no it's all one network I have my 5g and 2g wifi separated as its more reliable but philps stop you from accessing the device if the wifi name are different (like i said it was fine until they updated the firmware!!)
as I have already said I am doing it another way (its just announing that updates are not always an improvement)

This sounds really unfortunate but I guess there is nothing I can do to help. I'll close the issue, but if you have an idea how to follow up, please feel free to reopen.
