Set horizontal and vertical blade angles

[v1k70rk4]

This is more of a feature request than a bug.
In the new mSmart app, you can already set horizontal and vertical blade angles. Could this somehow be integrated?
Or does anyone have a manual on what commands to give?
I currently solve this with infrared transmission.

The types of my air conditioners:

• midea xtreme save pro
• midea breezless+

Thank you in advance for your help.

+1 for this!
I bought two new units - a midea duo 14k btu ac + heat heatpump, and an additional midea 14k btu heatpump ac unit.

Both can set the vent angles in the app, and after checking the entity in HA I can't see any attribute anywhere for the vent settings. It would be SUPER AMAZING to be able to use HA to change the angle of the vents (I never turn on swing, I aim them at the respective ceiling fans in each room), and when these things are powered down and then up again the vent defaults to "straight up", so I always have to manually go adjust them

If there's something I can do to help out here, please let me know!

Hello,

There's a trick for this :) If your air conditioner supports the "Indirect Wind" feature, then when you turn it on, the blade will point upwards at fan speed 1. Wait for two seconds and then invoke the "Midea AC LAN: Set AC fan speed" and set it to auto or your desired speed.

Unfortunately, my Breezless doesn't support this, but it works on the other one.

Thats sort of the opposite of what im going for, I need to aim it more or less straight forward. the units I have aim the vent at basically a 45 degree angle or so when i set it to 'forward', so I aim it into a ceiling fan and it circulates throughout a large room. it works very well too - but until the support to move the vents gets added to this integration, i still have to use the phone app to manually change the vent direction every time the unit is powered down and back up again

I’m sorry, but I believe this feature is unnecessary for most peoples and I don’t foresee myself investing effort into it.

[Viss]

can you please give me some pointers for how I can do it myself? I use it every day

Could you please provide the model of your device? You can find this information in Settings -> Devices & Services -> Midea AC LAN -> Devices -> Device Info. Once I have that, I’ll give you a lua script specifically for your device.

I think this is it: Air Conditioner 00000Q18

Perhaps you might find what you’re looking for in this LUA script.

Can you possibly send me such a LUA script as well? The model number of my air conditioners is:
00000Q19
00000Q11

because I found this in it:
local module = require("smart_air_conditioner")
module.setSwingLR(45)
module.setSwingUD(90)
local swingLR = module.getSwingLR()
local swingUD = module.getSwingUD()
print("Horizontal angle:", swingLR)
print("Vertical angle:", swingUD)

i glanced at the lua script and didnt see anything in it that mentioned specific vent positions. I'll go through it in more detail - I'm curious what this script is and where it came from. It looks like the instructions sent to the midea units are sent as hex bytes amd everything is encoded a certain way, so perhaps someone decompiled the apk and identified each command. If I could get some insight there I could try and give it a go

@v1k70rk4 @Viss

There are the LUA scripts for your appliances

AC_00000Q18.zip
AC_00000Q19.zip
AC_00000Q11.zip

[Viss]

it looks like i can get it out of the midea app, because i tried via home assistant as youve instructed but it said 'not found'.

Could you provide the Serial Number (SN) of your device? You can find the SN by navigating to ‘Settings -> Devices & Services -> Midea AC LAN -> Add device -> Just list appliances (List all appliances only) -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: #243 (comment) You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

Hello all, reading this discussion with great interest. I have the same option in the Carrier app and am also looking for a way to set the blade direction in an automation to a specific level rather than turning on the swing function which I never use. In the afternoon I want to heat a specific place in the room more downwarss for lunch with direct air, and in the evening the flow should be more upwards. I have couple of carrier 42QHG009D8S models. I have looked everywhere for more information but couldn't find anything. If you figured anything out in the meantime @Viss I would love to know! If this would be available in some way that would be perfect!

sadly i have had no luck so far. the lua scripts dont seem to indicate what api endpoints control the blade positions and i dont have enough intel to dissect the protocol myself
