A Home Assistant custom climate component that lets you control your AirTouch 3 console locally. It has a dependancy on the vzduch-dotek api.
- Update constants shared with Home Assistant to maintain compatibility
- Device info was being set incorrectly for switch and fan
- Device info was being set without identifiers for Climate entity
I assume you have vzduch-dotek up and running. Please refer to that projects documentation on steps to install. There is also an addon which makes running the api easier.
- Copy the
airtouch3directory into yourcustom_componentsfolder. - This integration uses config flow only, so add the integration using the Home Assistant UI. No need to add anything to your
configuration.yaml - In config flow please enter in the host and port number. The host and port are for the
vzduch-dotekapi and not the actual AirTouch 3 console. - Click OK.
- You should now see:
- A Climate component
- A switch for each of your zones
- A sensor if you have those
airtouch3temperature sensors.
A little note about the thermostat mode. AirTouch 3 supports the following modes:
- AC = 0
- Average = Zones + 1
- Auto = Zones + 2
- Zone = Zones - 1
So if thermostatMode is set to 0 the temperature is read from AC. If you have 4 zones and thermostatMode is set to 3 the temperature is read from one zone. This is important for how the climate component sets and controls the desired temperature. At the moment the logic is:
- For
Zonemode set the desired temperature for the zone - For any other mode set the desired temperature at the AC.
If your thermostatMode is not Zone, you can still set a zones desired temperature - using a service call. In your Home Assistant instance, go to developer-tools/service and find airtouch3.set_zone_temperature service. There you enter in the entity_id for the zone you want to control as well as the desired temperature.
airtouch3.set_zone_temperature
entity_id: switch.zone_bedroom
temperature: 25

The climate component tested against Home Assistant version
2021.1.5. -
Only a subset of
AirTouch 3Api have been implemented viavzduch-dotek. The imlemented Api include:- Get current state of aircon
- Switch aircon on / off
- Set aircon mode
- Set aircon fanmode
- Set desired temperature
- Toggle zone on / off
- Switch zone on / off
- Set zones desired temperature
A certain level of technical experience is required to get this up and running successfully. Namely:
- Basic knowledge of Networking
- Containerization
- Troubleshooting
Here is what my setup looks like
