airton_ac 1.2.0

Control an Airton AC device over LAN.

airton-ac

Control an Airton AC device over the local area network without using any cloud. This requires having the wifi module.

Usage

You can use this library to control a device programmatically with airton_ac.Device or through the Domoticz plugin.

Requirements

To control a device you will need these 3 things:

• the device ID
• the device local IP address
• the device local key (encryption key generated upon pairing)

To get those, follow instructions from TinyTuya.

⚠️ Important considerations:

• After pairing the devices, assign static IPs in your router.
• Data center should be Central Europe Data Center.

After having run the wizard, you can run python -m tinytuya scan to get a summary of devices.

⚠️ Keep in mind that:

• if you reset or re-pair devices the local key will change
• you can delete your tuya IOT account but not the SmartLife one and devices should be kept there

Domoticz plugin

The plugin requires having fetched device information using instructions above. Make sure to read plugin instructions first. The Domoticz version should be 2022.1 or higher.

python3 -m pip install airton-ac
python3 -m airton_ac.domoticz.install

Restart Domoticz and create a new Hardware using AirtonAC. You will need one per device, fill in information and add. The hardware will create 10 devices to control the AC (all prefixed with hardware name):

• power: to turn on or off
• set point: to set the target temperature
• temperature: to record curent temperature as measured by the unit
• mode: to control operating mode
• fan: to control fan speed
• eco: toggle low heat when heating and eco-mode when cooling
• light: toggle display on the unit
• swing: toggle swing mode
• sleep: toggle sleep mode
• health: toggle health mode
