TadiranKit

Simple Homekit connector for Tadiran ACs, without Homebridge

Setting up AC WiFi

With the AC unit off, press MODE+WIFI until it beeps to reset the WiFi settings.

Connect to the newly broadcast WiFi network ("GR-AC-something-or-other") and send it your WiFi credentials (2.4GHz only):

echo -n "{\"psw\": \"PASSWORD\",\"ssid\": \"SSID\",\"t\": \"wlan\"}" | nc -u 192.168.1.1 7000

Scanning for devices

The AC units are listening on port 7000, either find their IP in your router or scan for them using https://github.com/cmroche/greeclimate

git clone https://github.com/cmroche/greeclimate
cd greeclimate
python3 gree.py --discovery

greeclimate.discovery - INFO - Found gree device Device: xxxxxxxxxxxx @ 192.168.1.100:7000 (mac: xxxxxxxxxxxx)
