It would be great if the app could work for Panasonic air conditioners 
@tammert
Agreed, I’m just waiting on some information from ProtoART and then I can add Panasonic airconditioners too!

LG is available on the testing branch: ClimateControl | Homey
Thank you for developing the LG version.
While testing the LG test version, I noticed two issues related to the vane settings:
-
In Vane mode, the Auto option is missing.
-
In Wide Vane mode, an Auto option is available, but it does not function correctly. When Auto is enabled in Wide Vane mode, it is not applied or passed through to ClimateControl.
Additionally, would it be possible to also add the three options highlighted in the image below:
-
Auto Dry
-
Purifier
-
Energy Saving
I hope this feedback helps improve the LG integration. Thanks in advance!
@tammert any news from ProtoArt regrading implementation of panasonic?
I recently had to temporarily cut the power to our house. After powering everything back on, 2 out of the 5 units no longer update their inside temperature.
In Home Assistant, the temperatures are updated correctly, so it seems to be related to the Homey implementation. I also don’t see any repair functionality to freshly retrieve all values from the units.
Is this something you could look into?
I have been investigating the issue a bit more and apparently I didn’t assign static IPs to the control units and for the two of them that are in error at the moment, the IP had changed. An easy solution would be that in the settings of a unit, you can edit the IP address?
Not yet, I first need to finish LG stuff too but I’ve been pressed for time…
So I’ve programmed an “auto-repair” functionality based on the mDNS values retrieved from the CC modules. These should normally ensure that even if an IP changes, the device is updated with the new IP (based on the static “id” found in the mDNS record): see net.protoart.clima/lib/baseDevice.ts at main · tammert/net.protoart.clima · GitHub. Homey doesn’t prefer/allow IP-via-settings outside of the discovery mechanism, so while your suggestion makes sense from your perspective, the answer is “that’s not how it works”
Are the devices “broken”, or is it just a few values? Otherwise, try if you can find them as new devices (and delete the old ones).

They were broken. I just removed them and added them as new devices.
