Any idea whether the Netatmo Smart AC Controller will ever be supported? It’s been on the market for quite a while but no news on this so far and it’s not listed for the official Netatmo app.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t included in the Netatmo API last time we checked. So there currently is no way to interface with the device.

Thanks for the reply - not what I would have liked to hear, but it explains why it’s not supported. I guess I’ll be checking out alternatives then. Unfortunately, Tado is preventing Version 3 devices from co-existing with X devices (I have an X thermostat) under one account, so that one isn’t an option, either.

Which AC unit are you trying to control? It’s possible that Homey already has an integration for it.

Fortunately, Homey has built-in IR functionality, so you can search the IR database anytime. Just open the Homey app and navigate to: New Device → Infrared. 😉

Just FYI, please do realize both the tado and Netatmo IR remotes only work with A/C units remotes which come with an informational display

And if Homey is in a different room than the air con, then one of this works just fine:

Ours ran on Tados before, but Tado is phasing version 3 products out and they can’t co-exist with Tado X products. So in order to install the new thermostats, I had to get rid of the Smart AC Controllers (which had been flaky for a while now anyway). That’s why I’m looking for an alternative. As for IR: AFAIK our Chinese-made AC units aren’t supported by Homey Pro.

Hi all,
I’m using jeedom (French home automation brand) and am able to control the AC netatmo controllers with just a plug-in named Netatmo Energie.
Here is the documentation to their plug-in configuration if it helps:
[https://limad.github.io/plugins-docs/plugin-naEnergie/fr\_FR/](https://limad.github.io/plugins-docs/plugin-naEnergie/fr_FR/)
They support the AC controllers since July 2023.
I would like to migrate to homey pro but my AC have to be supported; I’ll wait 😊

The AC controller is now supported by the Netatmo API, and we’re in the process of adding full support for Homey. You’ll see it available soon™

just a tricky question though:
When you’re saying “soon” it’s about days, weeks, months ?

This is a well hidden secret, but it has been days, weeks and even months.
Equivalent of
“It is finished when it’s finished”.

@Doekse Is this available now? Or any ETA on when the ac controller will be supported?
Thanks

Doekse, where do you stand with the integration of the Netatmo AC controler? I’m still not able to great a new device in homey for this. Thank you for your support.

Doekse, i do not understand how this topic is solved/closed. Athom (you) indicated in nov. 24 that a Solution was eminent. However this device is still not available in the Netatmo app. For me this is very disapointing for i’m looking to control my heating/cooling/energy usage from within the Homey eco-system. I assume this would also be a requirement for many. Since this is a generic (IR) device to control many brands of AC’s i wpoiuld assume that support of this device will be beneficial . The alternative is to update my ac’s to wifi but that would cost some 150€ per unit (Fujitsu) and even than the support is only partially. So, bottom line can Athom again look into this and investigate if the API support is available?
Many thanks
