Gree AC Platform (homebridge-gree-ac-platform)
This plugin automatically detects Gree AC's and add them as accessories with the following features:
- Heating (With configs for min and max temperature values)
- Cooling (With configs for min and max temperature values)
- Temperature Unit can't be changed, but if is changed from the normal remote, it will be updated in the app.
- If you disconnect an AC and reconnect it to wifi, it will automatically bind to it no manual action is required
- Fan speeds for 3 Speed units and 5 Speed units
- Turn off/on the light
- In version 1.1.1 i improved the response time and speed.
- In version 1.1.1 when a status changes, now it updates all the services.
- In version 1.1.1 was removed the RE2 to improve the install speed.
More features will come in future!
For speed:
- 0 = Auto
- 1 = Low
- 2 = Medium-Low (not available on 3-speed units)
- 3 = Medium
- 4 = Medium-High (not available on 3-speed units)
- 5 = High
- 6 = Turbo (For all units, turbo is the max speed)

{
"name": "Gree ACs",
// Set this to the router's broadcast address
// in order to can scan for ACs
"broadcastAddress": "192.168.1.255",

DHT Service
In order to can get the humidity and temperature, you need a separate service to get that info (ONLY FOR RPi)
const sensor = require('node-dht-sensor');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/', (_, res) => {
sensor.read(11, 17, function (err, temperature, humidity) {
if (!err) {
res.status(200).json({
temperature,
humidity
});
} else {
res.status(500).json({
error: err.message,
code: err.code ?? 500
});
}
});
});
app.listen(55555, 'localhost', () => {
console.log('Service Started');
});
