App Store Page: Mitsubishi (WF-RAC) App for Homey | Homey
Description
Control your Mitsubishi Heavy Industries air conditioners from anywhere with Homey.
Check the temperature of your room(s) on the go, and if needed, turn on your air conditioner before arriving home. Unsure if you left the air conditioner on? Simply switch it off remotely using Homey.
To use this Homey app, your air conditioner must be equipped with a WF-RAC WiFi adapter and configured through the Smart-M-Air app.
Please note: This Homey app is NOT COMPATIBLE with models that use the newer INWFIMHI001I000 WiFi adapter, configured via the AC-Cloud app.
Instructions
Add the device as you would add any device to Homey. A polling frequency of 30 seconds is used to update the current status of the device in Homey.
Limitations
Remote control
When using the external remote to control the device, all settings are sent to the device, overwriting its current settings. For example, if you power off the device using the remote and the airflow is set to âhighâ in Homey but âlowâ on the remote, the âlowâ setting will be sent to the device. This will trigger capability changes.
Rate limit
There is a 1-second delay after each message sent to the device. If you send more messages than the device can handle, it will start behaving unpredictably. To prevent this, commands sent to the device are merged and sent every 0.5 seconds. This approach reduces the likelihood of overwhelming the device and ensures smoother operation for your workflows.
Temperature sensor
The deviceâs temperature sensor is likely to show a higher reading than the actual temperature. Unfortunately, thereâs nothing I can do to address this. I recommend reaching out to your dealer to inquire about the issueâand please let me know if you find out anything. This discrepancy is unrelated to this app.
Donations
I enjoy creating apps for Homey and strive to support them to the best of my ability. If you enjoy using my apps, a donation to acknowledge the time and effort I put into them would be greatly appreciated.
