I made a split in the Haier flow to be able to debug.

this is the haier-to-domotiz flow

while haier info seems to get into domoticz, I don't get any debug output....
Can you see what is wrong ?

Hello Eddie,
@eddieb

I made a split in the Haier flow to be able to debug.

Okay, that is not a problem, as it are independent flows.

this is the haier-to-domotiz flow

while haier info seems to get into domoticz, I don't get any debug output....
Can you see what is wrong ?

On the flow you posted, you have the debug node de-activated. Can you click on the right square of the (green) debug node and activate it.
Do not forget to press "Deploy".

Check first, in a systematic way, all the commands that you can give with your Haier remote or on the unit itself and check that it is correctly indicated in Domoticz. I looked again to your first post with the screenshot of MQTT explorer and saw that there also exist a topic /myhome/topic/connection.
It is a boolean true or false. Do you want to have it implemented?
In that case, I suggest an "Alert" sensor, with a green triangle and text "Connected" and a red triangle with text "Disconnected", or what you want.

Let me know the results.

@FireWizard

like I said, I am a total node-red newbie ...
some things
- my AC seems not to respond to mode "fan_only" ... I need to chack that with mqtt explorer in combination with the web config and the remote control.
- setting mode to auto and cool seems to work and displayed correct in domoticz.
- setting mode to heat and dry is not displayed in domoticz
I'll continue testing later today

Hello Eddie,
@eddieb

The flows, containing the topics and payloads, has been created according to your post of July 22nd.
It might be that your model only support a subset of the topics.

Do you have a link to that document?

like I said, I am a total node-red newbie ...

Don't worry, all of us have been newbies once and by doing (and making mistakes), you will learn.

my AC seems not to respond to mode "fan_only" ... I need to check that with mqtt explorer in combination with the web config and the remote control.

You can test that by simple publish the right payload, as in your documents.

setting mode to heat and dry is not displayed in domoticz

Is it supported?

You don't need MQTT Explorer, you can simple add a debug node after the MQTT input node and activate it.

Just for test purposes, I add a test flow.

It is an "Inject" node connected to a MQTT Out node. You can simple activate it by pressing the grey square at the left of this node.
It will inject the topic and the payload.

It is the stream I use to test these kind of streams.

@FireWizard

Ah, did not know of the inject possibilities.
I did a quick test and that works, I will dive into it later today.

As I am using a custom USB-ESP stick with custom software in the Haier there is no more documentation (yet) ...
I am using this https://translate.google.com/translate? ... ives%2F433 and ordered a couple off usb-esp directly from the russian guy who wrote the software ... (took 5 weeks to arrive )

[FireWizard]

Hello @eddieb

I suggest, that you first start with the commands from the Haier AC to Domoticz.

I have been searching also on the Internet and found the Russian site as well.
I found also: https://github.com/instalator/ioBroker.haier

I think that this is the version you use.

From the information you provided I created the flow, based on the following:

Topics received from Haier AC
Topics with current states the air conditioner uses the following:

1) myhome/topic/Fresh : msg.payload : string[3] "off" fresh air mode on|off
2) myhome/topic/Lock_Remote : msg.payload : string[5] "false" lock the remote control true|false
3) myhome/topic/Power : msg.payload : string[2] "on" power state on|off
4) myhome/topic/Health : msg.payload : string[3] "off" "​Health" mode (UV lamp) on|off
5) myhome/topic/Compressor : msg.payload : string[3] "off" compressor on|off
6) myhome/topic/Swing : msg.payload : string[2] "ud" air flow direction mode off|ud|lr|all
7) myhome/topic/Fan_Speed : msg.payload : string[4] "auto" fan speed max|mid|min|auto
8) myhome/topic/Set_Temp : msg.payload : string[2] "19" set temperature
9) myhome/topic/Current_Temp : msg.payload : string[2] "21" current room temperature
10) myhome/topic/Mode : msg.payload : string[3] "dry" air conditioner operation mode auto|cool|heat|fan_only|dry|off
11) myhome/topic/RAW : msg.payload : string[74] "FFFF22000000000001026D0100150033007F00000000000400030001000100000000000366"

However, after studying the source code I found some differences. (it is pity, that some comments in the main.js are still Russian)

I wonder if the topics, like Fresh, Lock_Remote, etc are with capitals.

Can you use the flow, I send you 22 Jul 2020, 12:29 and see what you receive.
Perhaps we have to make some changes.

Looking forward to the results,

Regards

@FireWizard

that is indeed the base of the code running, BUT, it is not the latest source on github ...
For now the author did not publish the latest code. (I asked him)

- My Haier Tundra Green does NOT support the "Fan*" commands ... (tested with the original remote control)
- the code seems to be made so more Haier models are supported ...
- Don't have time left today, I will continue testing tomorrow.

You wrote:

So, you mean that your device has a later version of the software. I did not find a newer version on Github (this was 1.0.3),
and that the version you use has not been published, yet.

My Haier Tundra Green does NOT support the "Fan*" commands ... (tested with the original remote control)

So we can remove this command.

Awaiting your further test results

YES, after I confirmed that I received the modules I asked where to find the latest firmware.
A binairy was send to me by e-mail and I flashed it thru the webinterface of the module

My Haier Tundra Green does NOT support the "Fan*" commands ... (tested with the original remote control)

So we can remove this command.

Yes, I allready removed it from my node-red and domoticz code.

This URL I found has newer info and especially the blog entries underneath are pretty recent.
The "instalator" guy is the one I contacted, he sent me the modules and the latest firmware.

Hello Eddie

@eddieb

Nice, I loaded the flow, but I could not find any change in the flow, except of a Comment at the top.
Even the fan commands are included.

Did you change anything?

Regards

[eddieb]

@FireWizard

I removed some FAN parts from "To Domoticz" and changed the numbers accordingly
in the filter "mode" I changed the leading caps to lowercase and the numbering ...

as the "mode=fan" fan is not controlled from domoticz, I did not remove the "fan" filter yet

I also changed the controls in domoticz accordingly

Just 1 issue left ...

domoticz receives and sents "set_temp"
on mqtt level all seems OK
The webinterface of the device sometimes gets lost and displays a value of 4 or 5 degrees (as set_temp).
The display on the AC unit is fine ...

I did sent an email to the "instalator" and hope that this can be fixed, if not, I have to live with that

Big thanks for your help so far !

Hello @eddieb,

So , as I understand the Haier AC is communicating to Domoticz and vice versa.

Is there anything in the flow that is unclear and needs a further explanation.
I'm happy to do that.

One question.

There is something as connection, see the first picture. (connection = true).
Do you want some kind of monitoring?

domoticz receives and sents "set_temp"
on mqtt level all seems OK
The webinterface of the device sometimes gets lost and displays a value of 4 or 5 degrees (as set_temp).
The display on the AC unit is fine ...

If you set the temperature on the Haier remote, Domoticz should display the same value.
If you change the temperature setting in Domoticz the setting is sent to the Haier AC and should be visible there.

In the flow I have limited the possible values between 16 and 30 degrees, as I was not sure what the effect was, if someone sends a value outside the range, However after studying the source code of the device, I saw it is done there as well, but it will not harm.
Is the indication in Domoticz stable (not switching to 4 or 5 degrees)?

Regards

[eddieb]

@FireWizard

yes, all controls work as expected.
the AC remote controls and the AC display are in sync with domoticz.

it is just the webinterface of the USB-ESP that jumps to 4 or 5 C on the Set_Temp.
On the AC and in Domoticz they look correct.

maybe some combination of MQTT messages in a certain order does not work correct.
maybe I should debug the raw commands ...

Hi,

@eddieb

maybe some combination of MQTT messages in a certain order does not work correct.
maybe I should debug the raw commands

If I had to decide, I would wait for an answer from "instalator". I don't think it has something to do with (a combination of) MQTT messages and debugging the RAW code is complex.

What about the connection monitoring?

I guess I will, I will install 2 other USB-ESP with node-red in a friends house in a couple of days ...

What about the connection monitoring?

Depends what you mean by "connection monitoring" ...
If the USB-ESP is unreachable my network monitor will alert me ...

@eddieb

I saw in the first picture of MQTT Explorer, you posted a topic myhome/topic/connection = true.

Should that be included?

[eddieb]

@FireWizard

I saw in the first picture of MQTT Explorer, you posted a topic myhome/topic/connection = true.

Should that be included?

Ah,
I just started MQTT explorer and that topic is not there yet, perhaps it is only availiable under certain conditions OR it was part of the initial firmware ..
For now, I don't think it is neccesary.
