ha-miraie-ac

Home Assistant integration with MirAIe air conditioners using NodeRed over MQTT

Since there is no official HA integration with Panasonic MirAIe air conditioners, this node will provide a bridge between the MirAIe MQTT broker and the local MQTT broker receieving updates from the device and updating the state on HA as well as accepting commands from HA to control the device.

MirAIe Authentication

Authenticate over http using the registered mobile number and password

Device Discovery

Once authenticated, the list of devices is pulled down exposed to HA using MQTT discovery.

Usage

• Install the node
• Add the node to a flow and configure
• Search for "climate: entities on HA

---

TODO

1. Show debug messages to help with troubleshooting
2. The MQTT discovery prefix is hard coded to "homeassisstant", this should be configurable on the node.
3. Follow coding standards and best practices

NOTE: Home Assistant HVAC don't have powerful mode option, so using option heat instead of that, setting climate.hvac to heat will turn on powerful mode in the AC.

For UI use HACS library simple thermostat and make a card using below yaml code
