homebridge-melcloud-ts

An up-to-date TypeScript version of ilcato's Homebridge plugin for Mitsubishi Melcloud.

Installation

Follow the instruction in homebridge for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing:

npm install -g homebridge-melcloud-ts

Configuration

Remember to configure the plugin in config.json in your home directory inside the .homebridge directory. Look for a sample config in config.json example. Simply specify you Melcloud credentials and the language id from one of the following numeric codes:

• 0 = en English
• 1 = bg Български
• 2 = cs Čeština
• 3 = da Dansk
• 4 = de Deutsch
• 5 = et Eesti
• 6 = es Español
• 7 = fr Français
• 8 = hy Հայերեն
• 9 = lv Latviešu
• 10 = lt Lietuvių
• 11 = hu Magyar
• 12 = nl Nederlands
• 13 = no Norwegian
• 14 = pl Polski
• 15 = pt Português
• 16 = ru Русский
• 17 = fi Suomi
• 18 = sv Svenska
• 19 = it Italiano
• 20 = uk Українська
• 21 = tr Türkçe
• 22 = el Ελληνικά
• 23 = hr Hrvatski
• 24 = ro Română
• 25 = sl Slovenščina

Note

Siri is only able to read and change the target temperature of the Mitsubishi units. Siri can not change the heating/cooling/auto modes directly. To get around this limitation, you can create a scene with an app like Elgato or iDevices. For example: a scene named "Switch on the downstairs air conditioning" can turn on the downstairs AC in cooling mode, set it to 25°C and switch the Nest thermostat off. Dehumidifying mode is not supported through HomeKit.
