Homebridge plugin for Intesisbox gateways

homebridge-intesisbox

Homebridge plugin for Intesisbox devices including ASCII and WMP/Wi-Fi gateways, integrating various reverse-cycle air conditioners by Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Toshiba, and others with Apple HomeKit for control from iPhones and other Apple devices

I use an Intesisbox FJ-RC-WMP-1 connected to a Fujitsu ducted unit (ARTG24LMLC) and this works great.

Installation

1. Install homebridge:

   npm install -g homebridge
   

2. Install this plugin:

   npm install -g homebridge-intesisbox
   

3. Update your configuration file. See configuration options below.

4. Restart homebridge.

Configuration

Add an accessory to your homebridge config.json, like:

{
  "accessories": [
    {
      "accessory": "Intesisbox",
      "name": "Air Conditioner",
      "host": "192.168.0.10"
    }
  ]
}

Fields:

• accessory must always be Intesisbox
• name defaults to Intesisbox but can be set to whatever your device to be called, like Air Conditioner
• host must be the IP address of your device
• port defaults to 3310 but can be overriden
• number defaults to 1 but can be set to your unit number if you have multiple units connected to the same device

TODO

• Turn into a platform plugin
• Add device auto-discovery (DISCOVER command over UDP)

References

• Intesisbox WMP ASCII protocol specs

Acknowledgements

This package was originally forked from zylantha's first attempt but then completely rewritten, with reference to wailuen's homebridge-sensibo-sky plugin.

homebridge-intesisbox's Issues

On/Off

Great plug in - thanks!
Is it possible to turn on and off (based on existing heat/cool/auto mode) by single tap of homekit icon without having to the scroll to heat/cool/auto each time? I think a long press of the icon opens the mode and temperature setting.

This is the behavior of the intesisweb plugin. I have switched from intesisweb to intesisbox as I was having connection issues to the intesisweb cloud.

thanks

Connection Keeps Closing

Hello, my bridge keeps closing the connection and it messes around with some automations I have how can I stop the connection from closing.

Connection Error

Anyone know why this is happening? Haven’t made any changes and it switched to Celsius and is no longer responsive

characteristic Number instead of finite number

This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Target Temperature': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "NaN" (number).

Is this because of being on Celsius maybe rather than Fahrenheit?
