Here's a link to my plugin: https://github.com/awalsum/Qlima

During your tests have you noticed an issue where the AC somehow changes its state (ie from 24 celsius and ECO to ECO OFF and 27celsius) without any interaction?

I had these issue too (BTW thanks Alain for this plugin!).
I fixed it by outcommenting lines 284, 299, 311 as they where trying to update the the Domoticz device with an invalid value like:

Devices[5].Update(nValue=device.power_state, sValue=str(device.operational_mode))
device.operational_mode is auto, heat, cool etc but the Device[5] sValue is expecting 10, 20 30 etc

Thanks waltervl. I had another look at the code and outcommented some lines. I updated the repository on Github.

Then you will have to comment out lines 284, 299, 311 with incorrect domotica device update commands as I proposed earlier to Alain. But he commented out the incorrect lines.

waltervl wrote: ↑Wednesday 28 October 2020 10:06 The lines to be outcommented are invalid as I explained earlier. They give text instead of the numbers that domoticz devices expects to receive. That will cause strange results that will cause strange reactions of your Airco unit (changing status, target temp etc without reason)

The outdoor temperature sensor is not that accurate (as the indoor temperature). You can only use it as a rough reference. I see misreadings of 2 degrees + or minus.

I do not think the changes you made are solving the issue, you outcommented the wrong lines......

I followed your suggestion and checked for the init values and raise an ConnectionError exception when they do. This will skip the updating of Domoticz values so no more 0 degree spikes in temp logging. In the end when the connection fails to many times (eg due to failing Wifi dongle in the device) Domoticz will see the non responsiveness and make the devices color red if it reaches the sensor timeout (default 90 minutes).
I will let it run now for a couple of days, see how it works out.

Code: Select all

    def DataUpdate(self):
        device_ip = Parameters["Address"]
        device_id = Parameters["Mode3"]
        client = midea_device(device_ip, int(device_id),6444)
        device = client.setup()
        
        try:
            device.refresh()
            if device.indoor_temperature == 0.0 and device.indoor_temperature == 0.0 and device.target_temperature == 20.0:
               raise ConnectionError('Could not connect with device',)

            ******* Device updates *************

        except ConnectionError as error:
            Domoticz.Error(repr(error))
            return
        except:
            Domoticz.Error("Qlima (" + Parameters["Address"] + ") unavailable")
            return

Loxone is a small locally installed server that is able to send TCP, UDP or HTTP commands. So it should nearly be the same way of getting it working with loxone as getting it working with domoticz.
