Air Conditioner integration with thinq

[drfant]

I recently found your thingq integration for hubitat and installed it, but there is no device for air conditioner. Are you able to add one?

[dcmeglio]

Unfortunately it’s not likely as I do not own a ThinQ air conditioner so I have no way to test.

Is there anyway I can assist in testing? I have done some programming in my past, but not familiar with the code for habitat. If you were some how able to create the code and provide me instructions to test, I would be happy to assist, if possible.

Likewise -- we're supposed to pick up our Thinq-connected A/C this afternoon. I'd be happy to help probe the API, etc. with some guidance.

[dcmeglio]

I have no way to test since I don't own one, but someone contributed some code that is working for him for AC devices, you can try the code from this branch https://github.com/dcmeglio/hubitat-thinq/tree/ac

Let me know how it works. I'd love to get some feedback before I merge it.

[MikeBishop]

From an initial poke at it:

• Installs just fine, detects the A/C as a new device and creates it in Hubitat
• Created device has properties that match the settings of the device, but don't seem to be updating as I change settings on the physical device. They update once when I click through the setup flow again, but stay static otherwise.
• Properties aren't mapped as simply as I might hope:
  • Physical screen and app show target temp in Fahrenheit, but driver appears to show them in Celsius
  • OpMode description sounds like it wants things like Cool, Fan, etc. but Hubitat says the command takes a number, and the status shows a number; the link to list possible values doesn't work (private repo?). Link also overflows text box to display it.
  • The names TargetTimeToStart / TargetTimeToStop make it sound like they take wall clock times, but they actually take / expose number of minutes remaining until the action occurs. Thinq app exposes a wall-clock schedule option, but I don't see that reflected here. (I haven't tried enabling it in the app, however.)
  • WindStrength values likewise are at a link I can't access
  • Looking at the code, it appears that "Operation" (a number) reflects the current value of the power switch. Perhaps this should be exposed as an on/off switch state instead?

[dcmeglio]

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

[MikeBishop]

One additional test -- the commands do appear to work.

[dcmeglio]

When you added the device there should have been something in the logs about a model json url. Any chance you can provide that url? It contains some of the information about how to talk to the device.

The log line doesn't say which is which device, but hopefully you can eliminate the two types you already support pretty readily.

Watching this thread! Any update? Love my Hubitat, and my LG thinq A/C is my last device to get in.

[dcmeglio]

To my knowledge this isn’t being actively worked on by anyone. As I said, I don’t have access to a device to test with so I’m not much help here.

@dcmeglio I was able to import my 3 split A/Cs and they are working great. I've tested a nearly all of functionality using https://github.com/jbilodea/ThinQ_AC/blob/main/Possible_Values.txt as a guide and it works great. IMO, it is fine to merge.

FYI - Just found out about this project - love it. I added the branch code as a custom app - added the branch code AC drivers to the drivers in hubitat. It detects an "AIR CONDITIONER" and I can add it - but the current states is empty and it does not work with any values or buttons I click. Just curious if the others in this thread could help me get this working... What do I do with the possible_values.txt @slingr-dev - do I have a different issue since the hubitat device screen doesn't populate any current states? Almost feels like it's not actually talking to it properly...

In my hubitat log I do see things like this:

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: [B.containsKey() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [airState.diagCode]
Possible solutions: contains(java.lang.Object) on line 908 (method checkValue)

[austin-millan]

FWIW the AC driver works enough for me in my Hubitat environment. Turns on/off and can increase/decrease temperature settings.

Let me know what needs to be tested and I'll report back with issues and logs.
