Hi everyone! 
Another climate giant: Midea. You can find it under its own brand, but also at Comfee, Carrier, some Toshiba ranges… If your air conditioner is configured in the SmartHome / MSmartHome or NetHome Plus app, there’s a good chance it will work with this integration, locally.
What it does
- One air conditioning unit per unit, with only what it claims to know how to do:
- on/off, mode, setpoint to the half-degree, ventilation, oscillation;
- indoor and outdoor temperatures;
- eco, turbo, night modes;
- consumption and humidity, when the unit provides them.
- Automatic search for units on the network, or their IP address.
- Two triggers: « clean filter » and « unit error » (with its code).
- A scene action: set the air conditioner (mode, setpoint, and ventilation all at once).
- A « Air Conditioner » widget: temperatures, on/off, setpoint +/− and a « Mode and Ventilation » button.
- In French, English, German, and Spanish.
The cool thing
30 °C outside and no one at home → pre-cool the room one hour before returning
Filter to clean → small reminder on Saturday morning
Unit error → notification with the code
Installation
Gladys 5.2 minimum (for the « Mode and Ventilation » button of the widget).
It will arrive in the store at the next indexer pass. In the meantime: Integrations → Install from GitHub, with GitHub - guim31/gladys-midea: Midea air conditioners and rebrands for Gladys Assistant, over the local network · GitHub
- Start the search, or enter the IP address of your units.
- Discovery tab: add them.
Recent air conditioners (« V3 ») need a key that Midea keeps in its cloud. The integration retrieves it only once, like the free libraries that inspire it, then everything happens locally.
Honest small reservations
- Developed without the hardware: the protocol was verified frame by frame against the reference library (msmart-ng), but nothing ran on a real air conditioner. Your feedback is welcome
- Dehumidifiers and other Midea devices are not managed: only air conditioners.
It relies on msmart-ng and midea-local (MIT): thanks to their authors! Like the previous ones, developed with Claude Code. Independent project, not affiliated with Midea.
