Homebridge plugin for Mitsubishi Melcloud

Installation

Follow the instruction in homebridge for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing:

npm install -g homebridge-melcloud2

Configuration

Remember to configure the plugin in config.json in your home directory inside the .homebridge directory. Look for a sample config in config.json example. Simply specify you Melcloud credentials and the language id from one of the following numeric codes:

0 = en English
1 = bg Български

Note

Siri is only able to read and change the target temperature of the Mitsubishi units. Siri can not change the heating/cooling/auto modes directly. To get around this limitation, you can create a scene with an app like Elgato or iDevices. For example: a scene named "Switch on the downstairs air conditioning" can turn on the downstairs AC in cooling mode, set it to 25°C and switch the Nest thermostat off. Dehumidifying mode is not supported through HomeKit.
