THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED
This project has been parked in favor of using MQTT and the excellent SMARTLIGHT SLWF-01pro (alternate Link). This achieves local network control with vastly improved reliability. A big thank you to all those that contributed to this software and reported issues.
This interace facilitates communication with AC equipment that is connected to the internet by smartcielo. This was specifically developed to facilitate automation of the MRCOOL DIY line of ACs.
$ npm install node-smartcielo
const SmartCielo = require('node-smartcielo');
const hvac = new SmartCielo(<username>, <password>, <ip_address>);
hvac.sendPowerOn();
hvac.sendMode('cool');
hvac.sendTemperature(75);
hvac.sendFanSpeed('low');
console.log('Power:', hvac.getPower(), '| Mode:', hvac.getMode(), '| Fan Speed:', hvac.getFanSpeed(), '| Temperature:', hvac.getTemperature(), '| Room Temperature:', hvac.getRoomTemperature());
hvac.sendPowerOff()
$ node index.js -u <username> -p <password> -i <ip_address> [-v]

- The "-v" option will send all communications via an HTTP proxy running on localhost port 8888 for debugging.
Please let me know if you find this useful or come up with any novel implementations.
Enjoy!
