Kogan fans, Broadlink IR and Home Assistant - who's interested?

ausmechkeyboards on 23/03/2018 - 16:49

I've started writing a custom module to integrate the Kogan fans with Home Assistant and a Broadlink IR. I imagine integrating other IR blasters wouldn't be too difficult either.

So far I have the different modes working (a dropdown on the frontend), the oscillation and the power on/off. Currently integrating the speeds.

Wondering who's interested in this, if anyone?

If so, I'll try wrap it into an installable add-on or something.

Also feel free to PM me if you want to donate a beer or coffee towards the development :)

    I'll be interested to see what you come up with. I have my Fujitsu splits working pretty good with a RM2 & HA.

    This post has a lot of good info, I'd love to see the code for the drop down.

      The dropdown is pretty straight forward, it's just an input_select set on configuration.yaml

      Do you mean the mode changing code?

        I haven't come across input_select yet, learning this as I go. Ill check it out, thanks!

    How did you go with this? I'm planning on integrating a wall mount fan heater but I think I'll need to use multiple sensors to do it. There are 3 modes (fan only/low heat/high heat). The on/off is one button and it does a cool down cycle after using any of the heating modes. There is also a temperature setting but it's +/- after selecting one of the +/- options, so I think I'll skip this and use an external (xiaomi) temp sensor. I'll also need to use the hs110 for power monitoring to confirm which mode it's currently set to. But I haven't programmed in years so trying to work up some inspiration! :)

      I just saw this. I was somewhat successful, but I ended up giving up because it was just so hard to keep the two in sync (the Kogan fan has a (profanity) of different configurations and different speeds for different settings and it got rough).

      I might give it another go some time in the future.
