Is this supposed to automatically add devices through MQTT? about connectlife-api-connector

[andy2002a]

I seem to have the same problem, my AC device type is "MobileAirConditioner" instead of "AirConditioner".

Here's its properties from the API: response_1707775183350.json

I can send you the login / password if you need it for debugging!

Response for mine:

Do you have MQTT Integration?

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt

[bilan]

Yes, it will auto add devices to your ha but you have connection problem. There is time out on connection from your network to ConnectLife api:

https://api.connectlife.io/api/v1/appliance

[andy2002a]

Yes, it will auto add devices to your ha but you have connection problem. There is time out on connection from your network to ConnectLife api:

https://api.connectlife.io/api/v1/appliance

it seems to work fine in the console of the server, at least when running the curl command.

[bilan]

Maybe 30s timeout is too short for your case?I will need your connectlife credentails to debug it.

[andy2002a]

I waited a few days and I'm no longer getting those errors, but still not seeing any devices on MQTT:

Are your Connectlife devices in Online state? Are your devices Air Conditioner?

[andy2002a]

Yes, and I can manually interact with the API through curl.

[andy2002a]

Maybe this needs to be expanded to include "WindowAirConditioner"?

[bilan]

Yes, that's the reason. This is different device with different properties. I will think about it but it will be hard to not make an error without your ConnectLife credentials.

[IzzyEvelynFox]

I seem to have the same problem, my AC device type is "MobileAirConditioner" instead of "AirConditioner".

Here's its properties from the API:
response_1707775183350.json

I can send you the login / password if you need it for debugging!

[seayworld]

I have the same as well:

@IzzyEvelynFox @andy2002a , update to v1.1.0, this version should support your ac device.

[andy2002a]

@IzzyEvelynFox @andy2002a , update to v1.1.0, this version should support your ac device.

Thanks! It's showing up correctly now.

It looks loke the API has a bug where the mode numbers do not line up with the actual mode of the AC.

At least for my unit the correct ones are:

self.systemModes = {'Fan only': '0', 'Heat': '1', 'Cool': '2', 'Dry': '3'}  

Not sure if other ones have this issue

[djm193]

My devices will also not show up via autodiscover.
when I configure my split aircon in ConnectLife app I have to choose „geteilte Klimaanlage“ or „split airconditioner“.
Where can I look up if I have the same problem as the unseres above?

Hello everyone, with the new Version 2.1 the Add-On will no find the devices added in the connectlife app with the correct names for exampel "Klimaanlage Schlafzimmer". However I cannot find the entities which should be created through the add-on. at this very moment, alle units are operable within the connectlife app.

When I check my mqqt Logs there is always an error:

**As this is the only Appliance in my whole house which is yet not operable with Home Assistant I would be really thankful for some help.
What am I missing here?

Add-on will create the device (not only entity) which can by found by typing "connectlife" in search field:

@djm193 do you have something in that place?

[djm193]

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I cannot see anything like this either in devices nor in entities. the only thing I can find ist as follows:

[djm193]

Oh wait, now it is getting embarrasing. I do only have the mosquitto broker add-on.
Ok I have just set it up. It works!

Thank you very much! I was so confused with "mqtt add-on" in the name of your connectlife add-on that I did not try to install the integration.

[saragrigolin]

Do you have MQTT Integration? https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt

Hello I have the same problem but I have the MQTT integration. The add-on seems to work correctly, since I have new logs every minute with correct deviceId, deviceNickName and so on, but I cannot find the device in the MQTT integration. I tried to reload everything, but I have no clue why it's not appearing as device.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

What ha version do you have? You can always add the device by hand in configuration.yaml

[RaulFury]

Thank you for this integration!
Unfortunately I am also having the same issue:

Your addon seems to be working correctly and I am receiving the A/C information.
However, the MQTT integration is not discovering any devices.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

What ha version do you have? You can always add the device by hand in configuration.yaml

I solved updating the HA version to the latest one (I had the one before). Thank you!
