[APP][Pro] DREO (Community): Dreo fans, heaters, air purifiers, humidifiers and air conditioners in Homey

Apps

DREO (Community) puts your Dreo devices in Homey: switch them on and off, pick the mode and speed, set the temperature or humidity, and use all of it in Flows and on your dashboard. It logs in with your Dreo account, the same way the Dreo app on your phone does, and changes you make in the Dreo app or on the device show up in Homey straight away.

Dreo has an official Homey app as well, but it covers four device types and hasn’t been updated in months. This app covers the whole range that the Home Assistant integration hass-dreo supports, which is where the device knowledge comes from.

Free, no subscription, no server of my own.

Which devices

Nine device types, each with its own driver:

  • Tower fans (DR-HTF)
  • Air circulators, the TurboPoly fans (DR-HAF, DR-HPF)
  • Ceiling fans, fan and light (DR-HCF)
  • Evaporative coolers and misting fans (DR-HEC)
  • Air purifiers (DR-HAP)
  • Space heaters and wall heaters (DR-HSH, WH)
  • Portable air conditioners (DR-HAC)
  • Humidifiers (DR-HHM)
  • Dehumidifiers (DR-HDH)

That is 69 known models plus newer models in the same series. Every device only gets the controls it actually reports, so a heater without oscillation won’t show an oscillation switch.

A word of honesty: I don’t own a Dreo device. Everything is built from the hass-dreo code and tested against a simulated Dreo cloud, not against real hardware yet. If your device shows something that doesn’t match the Dreo app, or a button doesn’t do what it says, post it here with the model number. The model number is on the label of the device and under the device settings in Homey.

Adding a device

  1. In Homey: Devices, +, DREO (Community), and pick the type of device.
  2. Log in with the e-mail address and password of your Dreo account. Leave the region on “Find out by itself” unless you know better.
  3. Pick the devices you want to add.

Devices someone shared with you in the Dreo app show up as well. If your account has a model the app doesn’t know yet, the pairing screen says which one, so you can post it here.

What you can do

On the device, depending on the model:

  • Power, mode, fan speed, oscillation and oscillation angle, the fixed head position on circulators
  • Heat level, target temperature, heating mode (heat, eco, fan only), airflow direction and temperature correction on heaters
  • Cool, dry, fan, sleep and eco on air conditioners, with fan speed and swing
  • Target humidity, mist level and the humidify switch on humidifiers, coolers and dehumidifiers
  • The main light with brightness and colour temperature, and the ambient light, on ceiling fans
  • Display, panel sound, child lock and open window detection
  • Temperature, humidity, PM2.5, filter life, water tank empty, and whether a heater is heating right now

Flow cards for every setting: for each one an action, a condition and triggers for when it changes. Also:

  • Switch off or on after a number of minutes, using the timer in the device itself
  • Device went offline / came back online
  • An advanced card that sends any Dreo setting by its key, for things this app has no card for yet

Two dashboard widgets: one device with all its controls, and a list of all your Dreo devices with a power button each.

Energy: each device type has an estimated power use for Homey Energy, which you can change per device.

Privacy

Homey stores an MD5 hash of your Dreo password, because the Dreo cloud asks for a new login now and then. Dreo accepts that hash as the password, so treat your Homey as you would treat your phone. The app talks only to the Dreo cloud: no server of my own, no analytics.

This app is not made by Dreo. It uses the same cloud service as the Dreo app without an official interface, so Dreo can change it at any time.

Changelog

1.0.0

  • First version: nine device types, Flow cards for every setting and two dashboard widgets.

Something not right? Post it here with the model number, or send a diagnostics report from the app settings in Homey and mention it here. The device settings also show the values your device last reported, which helps a lot.

OMG! This is awesome news. The official app has been a total bust, it doesn’t support any of their prior existing products, only 3 or 4 released around the same time as the app 5-6 months ago. And every time I’ve asked Dreo support, nothing but static in response.

Thank you so much for developing this app!

Glad it’s useful. You’re exactly the person I was hoping would show up: as I wrote above, I don’t own a Dreo device, so everything is built from the hass-dreo code and hasn’t touched real hardware yet.

If you have time, could you install the test version (DREO (Community) | Homey) and add a few of your devices? What helps most:

  • which models you have, and whether each one shows up when pairing
  • anything that’s missing, wrong, or works differently than in the Dreo app
  • for a device that misbehaves: the values under the device settings in Homey, copied in here

No rush, one device at a time is fine.

:rofl:

Sorry, I had to laugh… I have already installed it, added all 10 of my Dreo devices, and amended all my Flows to use this app. I’ve already disabled the old community test app by Lee, that sort of worked for most but not all of my devices. And deleted the Home Assistant imported devices that proved to be not a 100% reliable connection from Homey and lacked a lot of functions.

Initial observations:

The app logo, and the device card icons could possibly do with some work. The photos used for the app show Dreo products, but the icons look nothing like.

The WHEN cards for the dehumidifier to alert to the water tank being full or not are very confusing, and I have no idea until it fills up if I have the correct card or not.

The fan THEN cards lack the setting for oscillation angle, either horizontal or vertical. You can turn oscillation on and off, but not change the sweep angle. It does have a generic function card at the bottom of the list, but the Help tooltip says to look at the Diagnostic Report for the correct key values for the function… except not being an app developer, don’t have any access to those (a gripe of mine about Homey, that you can’t see any logging at all, so you can’t even try to resolve issues yourself first).

I’ll be using it day to day, so if I find anything else I’ll let you know.

Thank you again good sir :saluting_face: for creating this app. Do you mind if I link this thread on the main Dreo thread on this forum? I know there are other users out there who would love to try this (especially given the lack of support from Dreo themselves… I’ve been waiting literally all year to be able to use my Dreo devices with Homey).
