Timeplan/Calendar Mode

Investigate the Timeplan/Calendar Mode API of the AC

Description

The AC (Air Conditioning) already supports a Timeplan/Calendar mode; however, the API for this functionality is not documented (nothing is, unfortunately). This ticket aims to reverse engineer the API by thoroughly investigating the data flow and data format exchanged between the AC and the controlling system. Understanding this API will enable us to effectively integrate it into the project and expose it via MQTT for external control. Additionally, exploring the possibility of integrating this mode with a Home Assistant schedule card for seamless user experience would be beneficial.

Tasks

• Reverse engineer the Timeplan/Calendar mode API for the AC.
• Document the endpoints, data format, and data flow of the API.
• Integrate the reverse engineered API into the project.
• Expose the Timeplan/Calendar mode via MQTT.
• Explore integration with a Home Assistant schedule card.

Acceptance Criteria

• The Timeplan/Calendar mode API is successfully reverse engineered.
• Endpoints, data format, and data flow of the API are documented comprehensively.
• The reverse engineered API is integrated into the project and functions as expected.
• Timeplan/Calendar mode is exposed via MQTT and responds to commands appropriately.
• Optional: Feasibility of integration with a Home Assistant schedule card is explored and documented.
