Installation - Enable ECHONET protocol

This Custom Component was originally designed for the Mitsubishi MAC-568IF-E WiFi Adaptor, a basic guide for enabling ECHONETlite is provided below.

From the official Mitsubishi AU/NZ Wifi App, you will need to enable the 'ECHONET lite' protocol under the 'edit unit' settings.

echonet

Many other products will work using this custom-component, but they must correctly support the 'ECHONET lite' protocol. The author cannot assist with enabling ECHONET Lite for other vendor products.

Installation

Install using HACS

  1. Look up 'ECHONETLite Platform' in integrations
  2. Click 'Download', leave the version be and click 'Download' again.
  3. Restart Home Assistant

Install manually

  1. Using the tool of choice open the directory (folder) for your HA configuration (where you find configuration.yaml).
  2. If you do not have a custom_components directory (folder) there, you need to create it.
  3. In the custom_components directory (folder) create a new folder called echonetlite.
  4. Download all the files from the custom_components/echonetlite/ directory (folder) in this repository.
  5. Place the files you downloaded in the new directory (folder) you created.
  6. Restart Home Assistant and clear your browser cache

Setup

  1. In Home Assistant, go to Settings -> Devices & Services -> ADD INTEGRATION.
  2. Select the 'ECHONET Lite' integration. Enter the IP address of the HVAC unit in the host field, and give the platform a name.
  3. Platform will automatically configure any supported platforms e.g. climate, sensor, switch, fan, select.
  4. If you have additional devices to configure then repeat step 1.

Configuring Options for Fan and swing mode settings for supported HVAC and Air Purifiers.

Once you have added the integration, you can go back to configuration -> integrations.

Under your ECHONETLite device click 'configure'.

Fine tune your required fan and swing mode settings. The integration will be able to determine what settings are supported for your system in question.

NOTE: Selecting which specific options are suitable is a 'trial and error' process as ECHONETLite does not provide a means of returning permittted values for these settings.

As soon as you configure your options and save, the settings will take effect.

Hall of Fame

Thanks Naoki Sawada for creating the switch entity, creating the custom service call framework, and a ton of other improvements. Most importantly of all he contributed the translation into 日本語.

Thanks to scumbug, lordCONAN, and xen2 for contributing some very interesting devices.

Thanks to Jason Nader for all the quality of life updates to the codebase and doco.

Thanks to khcnz (Karl Chaffey) and gvs for helping refector the old code and contributing to testing.

Thanks to Dick Swart, Masaki Tagawa, Paul, khcnz, Kolodnerd, and Alfie Gerner for each contributing code updates to to the original 'mitsubishi_hass' and therefore this custom component.

Thanks to Jeffro Carr who inspired me to write my own native Python ECHONET library for Home Assistant. Some ideas in his own repo got implemented in my own code. (https://github.com/jethrocarr/echonetlite-hvac-mqtt-service.git)

Thanks to Futomi Hatano for open sourcing a high quality and well documented ECHONET Lite library in Node JS that formed the basis of the 'Pychonet' library. (https://github.com/futomi/node-echonet-lite)

Thanks to all other contributers who I might have missed for raising PRs and issues which has made this little weekend project into something useful for many people.
