Carrier und Midea Lokal
Hello Together. Currently, Carrier devices can only be controled by cloud. I saw, that HomeAssistent has a local Version and i want to port that.
See https://github.com/stilicrafter/midea-Carrier-ac-local-IOBroker
What kind of device or service would you like to see an adapter for? Add name and company of the device, including links to the device and any additional information[...] Carrier midea and white labeld Heatpumps
Is the device connected to the internet or only available on a local network?
Currently only internet Version, i do it local
Is an official App or Website available? If yes, please add links https://github.com/georgezhao2010/midea_ac_lan
Is an official API including documentation available? If yes, please add links and information[...]
Are other libraries for an integration available? Ideally in JavaScript/npm, but also other programming languages are interesting, add links please
Is this device already integrated in other Smart Home systems? Add links please Home Assistent

and i want to port that.
Please confirm that you are working at an adapter. Or do request that someone tries to port / implement a local connection?
@mcm1957 I am currently trying, however this would be my first own adapter. So ill see, if ill get it to work
@mcm1957 It is to complex for me, to convert the Python code from the HomeAssistent Carriera / Midea plugin for IOBroker. Maybe someone else want to develop it. Ill devinitive could support testing and then also maybe help with bugfixes. Sorry.
No reason to say sorry. Thanks for your feedback. And be ensured I could not moigrate python to javascript too.
@stilicrafter is there any official documentation available for this product or how the connections are handled ? Its not clear for me (in first view) if we talk about en "difficult" Serial connection by USB etc or just exposing an JSON API.
I very limited in my time but having a couple of API related adapters which i'm currently simplifying by a generic model to read/write API data into iobroker with just a module. If this is JSON-Rest api related we maybe can reused that already handling like 90-95% of all code needed....
If you want/willing to learn i'm also more than happy to guide a little, transferring python (backport) can be quite complex sometimes its much easier to just start based on functionality and proper API documentation
@DutchmanNL Hi, for local control (prefered way) there is no official api (as far as i know)
It is also no simpel REST. For initial Setup, you need to ask the device for a Key (i think it is AES or something similar)
See this py from HA. https://github.com/georgezhao2010/midea_ac_lan/blob/master/custom_components/midea_ac_lan/midea/core/security.py I would allready be happy to have aircon working, however, if this adapter works for aircon, i also think that the other devices from them like Air Purifiers etc. could be simple be added, as they as fan, humidifiers etc, are all in this folder. https://github.com/georgezhao2010/midea_ac_lan/tree/master/custom_components/midea_ac_lan
@stilicrafter Honestly, this looks like a quite interesting but also complex project :) But my current available time does not allow to commit on :/
@DutchmanNL If you have one day time, let me know.
We might also look together :)
