Zhonghong MQTT

An integration for Zhonghong thermostat gateway and MQTT brokers, in order to control thermostats with Home Assistant, running with Docker.

FAQ

My gateway does not support Wi-Fi

We can use a normal wireless router, run with client mode, to convert the Wi-Fi to RJ45 interface.

Such as TP-LINK TL-WR800N.
