| Polyaire AirTouch 5 | Works | Fixed Homebridge 2.0 support; zones and sensors exposedSaved copyI was wondering if it’s possible to have the aircon state selector give a dry option? Currently there is cool, heat and auto, when I have my aircon manually selected to dry and turn the air back on with my HomeKit iPhone it defaults back to cool. Dry is especially helpful in humid areas. Also note that this plugin does not show as marked as supporting homebridge 2.0 hoping this is an easy update as the plug-in is pretty perfect so would hate to loose it once homebridge is moved to 2.0 Thanks for your work Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #14 · 2025-04 |
| Polyaire AirTouch 4 | Requested | User asks for AT4 support; maintainer has no AT4 hardware to testSaved copyFirstly, great work on this plugin! I have an airtouch4 system, and previously used the airtouch4 plugin however now it seems to not be compatible (or at least very buggy) with the latest versions of homebridge. I am hoping, if you are willing to test on my system (I can allow remote access direct to the Airtouch system) if you could kindly include or possibly duplicate this plugin for Airtouch4 support? I use the airtouch4pyapi for my python stuff, and I have zero knowledge of how to create a homebridge plugin 😅 Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #13 · 2024-11 |
