Some Mitsubishi AC's not retrieving room/Ambient Temp

Closed this issue · 10 comments

Firstly, thank you for this Integration. I Installed 3 x Mitsubishi MSZ-AP20VGD split system air conditioners with MAC-568IF-E wifi controls.

2 of the units integrate perfectly with HA with full control & ambient room temp readings, the third unit has full control - on/off , temp adjust etc. However will not retrieve the ambient room temp.

I have 2 x errors in the log;

Thanks

Very odd. I could not explain why one unit in particular is not returning the room temperature readings other than to suggest going through the unit configuration and manual and confirming what is being configured to measure the room temperature. My ducted HVAC for example the ambient room temp can be measured from the control panel or the indoor unit.

I have a few fixes in place for those particular error messages, but I wouldn't be able to tell you why 1 of 3 identical units is not correctly returning room temperature.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Funnily enough, after a few HA reboots, all the units are working perfectly now within HA, not sure what the issue was, im still getting an error msg in the logs, however it is working now.

Thanks again

What’s the error message?

Can you update to latest release?

@zuchie-star Are they all still working under ECHONETLite version is 3.4.9 & HA Core version is 2022.5.3? I've just added four new units and only two are reporting sensor data like your issue but I see anything in the logs.

Yes, mine are all working fine - 3 units reporting all A/C functions, ambient temps & cumulative power to the energy dashboard.
One of the units seems to draw power when it's off though, im not sure if its vampire power or the integration.

Give your integration 24hrs and if they haven't registered, remove them and re-add the units

sorry forgot to mention, im using ECHONETLite 3.4.9 & HA Core version is 2022.5.3 - same as you

Cheers, appreciate the feedback. Deleting and re-adding now.
