IR control of Mitsubishi AC SRK20ZM-S for Home Assistant

Control of Mitsubishi SRK20ZM-S via Broadling IR for Home Assistant

A small project for my Broadlink IR and Mitsubishi ACs for Home Assistant. You may use it as a base for other ACs if Broadlink IR is used.

Installation

Copy folder mitsubishi to /config/custom_components. Include following in configuration.yaml:

mitsubishi:
  ip_address: !secret broadlink_living_room_ip

Configuration attributes

• ip_address - mandatory IP address of corresponding Broablink IR device.
• name - friendly name.
• temperature_entity - separate unrelated temperature sensor entity, which will be used as part of climate entity (for observability in google home for example). For example if you have xiaomi bluetooth sensor in the room where AC is located, then measured temperature will be also visible in newly created climate entity as part of AC and will be accessible from google.
• humidity_entity - separate unrelated humidity sensor entity, which will be used as part of climate entity (for observability in google home for example). For example if you have xiaomi bluetooth sensor in the room where AC is located, then measured humidity will be also visible in newly created climate entity as part of AC and will be accessible from google.

Configuration saving possible issues

Integration saves wanted configuration in JSON file located under /config/custom_components/mitsubishi/json/ so no need to use input_select or input_number entities. It might happen that due to not found folder json configuration shall not be saved. To solve it, simply create json folder under /config/custom_components/mitsubishi and set rights for everyone to be able to modify contents of this folder. After first request to change data files with corresponding friendly names shall be created. Examples of JSON files are included in json folder in this repository.

configuration.yaml entry example

mitsubishi:
  - ip_address: !secret broadlink_living_room_ip
    name: "Living Room"
    temperature_entity: "sensor.living_room_temperature"
    humidity_entity: "sensor.living_room_humidity"
  - ip_address: !secret broadlink_bedroom_ip
    name: "Bedroom"
    temperature_entity: "sensor.bedroom_temperature"
    humidity_entity: "sensor.bedroom_humidity"
