HeatPump

Arduino library to control Mitsubishi Heat Pumps via connector CN105.

Quick start

Controlling the heat pump

HeatPump hp;
hp.connect(&Serial);

heatpumpSettings settings = {
    "ON",  /* ON/OFF */
    "FAN", /* HEAT/COOL/FAN/DRY/AUTO */
    26,    /* Between 16 and 31 */
    "4",   /* Fan speed: 1-4, AUTO, or QUIET */
    "3",   /* Air direction (vertical): 1-5, SWING, or AUTO */
    "|"    /* Air direction (horizontal): <<, <, |, >, >>, <>, or SWING */
}; 

hp.setSettings(settings);
// OR individual settings
// hp.setModeSetting("COOL");

hp.update();

See heatPump_test.ino

You can make the library automatically send new settings to the heat pump by calling enableAutoUpdate(). When auto update is enabled the call to update() in the above example is not necessary, the new settings will be sent to the heat pump on the next call to sync() in loop().

Getting updates from the heat pump

void setup() {
  HeatPump hp;
  hp.connect(&Serial);
}

void loop() {
  hp.sync();

  /* get settings from heatpump, including room temperature in settings.roomTemperature */
  heatpumpSettings settings = hp.getSettings();
}

By default the library ignores changes made from other sources (usually, the IR remote) and reverts them the next time sync() is called. This is the intendend behavior when the heat pump is fully controlled by automation.

If you want to also allow manual control and allow the library to update its settings from the current state of the heat pump you need to call enableExternalUpdate(). This will also enable automatic updates.

Support for installer settings/functions

Important: This is only tested on PVA (P-Series air handler) units and is not known to work on any other models.

You can refer to page 6 of this document to see the generic list of functions: https://www.mitsubishitechinfo.ca/sites/default/files/Installation_Manual_69-2426-01_0.pdf. Note that what each setting does is model specific. For example, this document lists the available codes and values for PVAs: https://www.mitsubishitechinfo.ca/sites/default/files/IM_PVA_A12_42AA7_PA79D213H09.pdf, page 22.

heatpumpFunctions functions = hp.getFunctions();

heatpumpFunctionCodes codes = functions.getAllCodes();
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_FUNCTION_CODE_COUNT; ++i) {
  if (codes.valid[i]) {
    int code = codes.code[i];
    int value = functions.getValue(code);
    // handle value
  }
}


if (!functions.setValue(code, value)) {
  // handle error
}

if (!hp.setFunctions(functions)) {
  // handle error
}

It is recommended to call getFunctions() every time when you need to make a change to the values in order to get a fresh heatpumpFunctions. Otherwise you might accidentally write out stale values and overwrite changes that might have happened through other sources.

Callbacks

Instead of manually checking settings changes on each loop, you can set callback functions to be called when the current heat pump status or settings change:

void hpSettingsChanged() {
  // ...
}

void hpStatusChanged(heatpumpStatus currentStatus) {
  // ...
}

void setup() {
  hp.setSettingsChangedCallback(hpSettingsChanged);
  hp.setStatusChangedCallback(hpStatusChanged);

  hp.connect(&Serial);
}

The callbacks will be called as necessary by the sync() method.

You can see this in use in the MQTT example.

Installation

PULL or download zip.
Move contents into Arduino library directory
Restart IDE, samples should be avaliable
NOTE: Requires arduino json 6, older commits before 20190505 support json 5.

  - Note: some people report problems with Wemos D1 due to usb serial pulling RX high when usb idle! Fix is to cut a trace, so maybe use an alternative, if following the above blog links.
