### Device/Service Name
Melcloud Home & Classic
### Existing Integrations & Do… cumentation
There are 2 services to provide :
- MELCloud (classic) (original service and API still used by users) : app.melcloud.com
- MELCloud Home (new service and API) : melcloudhome.com
For **MELCloud (classic)** :
- you can have a look at the first matterbridge plugin : https://github.com/GladysAssistant/matterbridge-ai-plugin-factory/issues/6
- you have to get the last matterbridge-plugin-template and rework.
- node-red flow: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-melcloud
- home assistant integration : https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/melcloud/
- API : https://olivierzal.github.io/melcloud-api/
- API github : https://github.com/OlivierZal/melcloud-api
For **MELCloud Home** :
- homebridge plugin : https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-melcloud-home
- home assistant integration : https://github.com/andrew-blake/melcloudhome
- API : https://olivierzal.github.io/melcloud-api/
- API github : https://github.com/OlivierZal/melcloud-api
### Device Capabilities
- On/Off control
- Setpoint thermostat (setpoint temperature)
- Get internal thermostat (internal temperature)
- Air conditioning mode (automatic, heating, cooling, fan only, dry)
- Vertical blade control (sweep, up, down)
- Horizontal blade control (sweep, up, down)
- Devices name
- Autodiscovery devices (even the non-supported yet)
### Additional Context
This is an integration to control Mitsubishi Electric Air Conditioning devices with the MELCloud (classic) API and the MELCLoud Home API.
In the settings panel of matterbridge's plugin, we must be able to choose between "MELCLoud" and "MELCloud Home" application because if a user has configured with one application, he can not use the other one.
We must have a secure authentification protocol for both application.
For both services, we just focus on Air-to-Air (ATA) devices for the MVP, we will add Air-to-Water (ATW) devices later.
Prefer olivierzal repository first as it seems to be the more up-to-date.
### Confirmations
- [x] I have provided links to existing integrations in other projects
- [x] I have verified the API documentation is accessible
- [x] I understand this is an automated AI process and results may vary
- [x] I am willing to test the generated plugin and provide feedback
EDIT: already in error
EDIT2: it’s better now, thanks @pierre-gilles
@mutmut Claude Code had disconnected, I reconnected the account, and restarted the factory
Thanks for making a request!

MELCloud Home & Classic
First version tested and I left my feedback in the comments, it’s not great so far.
@pierre-gilles as you have a Mitsubishi and the old Melcloud (classic) app, I think, could you test it on your side if you have a bit of time? Thanks
Hi @mutmut
I’d rather let you iterate on your plugin to meet your use case. That’s exactly the goal of the plugin factory: to let everyone create a plugin that suits them, and then optionally share it with the community.
In your case, I’m not even sure a plugin that handles both APIs is really desirable. I’d prioritize one plugin per API: it keeps the logic simple, the code easier to maintain, and the evolution smoother, even if it means having two separate plugins.

I would have liked you to test it to see if it works as well as the integration you had done in Gladys (something I can’t do anymore because I have Melcloud Home and not Melcloud Classic).
In any case, I already know that I will very likely manage all the functions with my Broadlink (or Node-RED) because Matter doesn’t manage enough features for now.
@pierre-gilles could you create an Enphase topic starting from here please? I’m currently testing the integration with the factory.
thanks
Hi @ArMour85 , I’m not sure I understand what you mean?
I created a topic about integrating Enphase solar panels.
