* MIELHVAC New features and bug fixes ## Changelog ### Bug Fixes **Memory leak in `miel_hvac_pre_init()`** — `goto del` jumped past the `free(sc)` label, leaking the allocated struct on serial init failure. Replaced with explicit `delete`/`free`/`return`. **`remotetemp_clear` semantics inverted** — variable was `true` on boot causing a CLR frame to be sent before any sensor registered. Renamed to `remotetemp_active`, initialised `false`. **`HVACSetPurify` used wrong map** — `airdirection_map` was passed instead of `purifier_map`. **`0x08` Set Run State flags wrong byte order** — flags are little-endian on the wire (ref: muart-group/muart-group.github.io#17). Removed `htons()` from all `0x08` flag assignments. **`widevane_isee` false positives** — values like `0x84`/`0x85`/`0x8c` (ISEE bit + position nibble) incorrectly reported `AirDirection:"even"`. Reverted to exact-match for `0x80`, `0x28`, `0xaa`. --- ### New Features **`0x42` HVAC Options polling** — added `miel_hvac_data_hvac_options` struct and `MIEL_HVAC_REQUEST_HVAC_OPTIONS` request. The unit is polled for Purifier, NightMode and EconoCool state. Requires short request form (len=1). Results stored in `sc_hvac_options` and published in SENSOR and HVACSETTINGS when `cap_run_state=true`. **Run State commands (`0x41 0x08`)** — new commands `HVACSetPurify`, `HVACSetNightMode`, `HVACSetEconoCool` and `HVACSetAirDirection` sent via `0x08` on units that report `cap_run_state=true`. Optimistic update to `sc_hvac_options` applied before confirmation. **EconoCool** — `0x08` byte 14, flag `0x10`, COOL mode only. Command `HVACSetEconoCool on|off`. **Base Capabilities (`0x5B 0xC9`)** — queried once after connecting. Parsed into `miel_hvac_capabilities`. Results published flat inside `MiElHVAC` as `*Supported` fields. Temperature ranges published as °C. Raw packet in `CapabilitiesHex`. **Capabilities-aware command validation** — commands blocked when unit reports feature unavailable: modes (heat/dry/fan), temperature range from capabilities, fan speeds, run state commands return `NotSupported` or `ControlNotSupported`. **`0x42` polling skip** — skipped on units with `cap_run_state=false`, eliminating recurring timeouts. **`miel_hvac_append_settings_json()`** — shared helper replacing ~80 lines of duplicated JSON code between SENSOR and HVACSETTINGS topics. --- ### JSON Changes - `Power` (W) and `Energy` (kWh) published inside `MiElHVAC` and also in a separate `ENERGY{}` object outside `MiElHVAC` for Home Assistant auto-discovery - `Purifier`, `NightMode`, `EconoCool` shown in SENSOR and HVACSETTINGS when `cap_run_state=true`; otherwise omitted - `AirDirection` always shows current state from `0x62 0x02` regardless of control support - `*Supported` capability fields published flat inside `MiElHVAC`: `HeatSupported`, `DrySupported`, `FanSupported`, `VaneVSupported`, `SwingSupported`, `AutoFanSupported`, `OutdoorTempSupported`, `AirDirectionSupported`, `PurifierSupported`, `NightModeSupported`, `EconoCoolSupported` --- ### Tested on MSZ-LN25VG2W — `cap_run_state=false`, temp ranges 16–31 °C cool/auto, 10–31 °C heat, 5 fan speeds. * Extend AirDirection capability, added web ui energy sensor, cleanup ### AirDirection — respect i-See sensor presence `AirDirection` now requires three conditions instead of just the vertical vane capability: - `cap_vane_v` — unit has a vertical vane - `sc_has_isee` — i-See sensor observed at runtime (widevane ever seen with bit `0x80`, or value `0x28`/`0xaa`) - `cap_run_state` — unit supports `0x08` for control Resulting behaviour: | `cap_vane_v` | `sc_has_isee` | `cap_run_state` | `AirDirection` visible | `AirDirectionSupported` | |:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:| | ❌ | — | — | hidden | `not_supported` | | ✅ | ❌ | — | hidden | `not_supported` | | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | shown | `control_not_supported` | | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | shown | `on` | Units with vertical + horizontal vanes but no i-See sensor now correctly report `AirDirectionSupported:"not_supported"` and omit `AirDirection` from both `MiElHVAC` and `HVACSettings` JSON. ### Capability field renames For naming consistency across the `*Supported` fields: - `cap_heat` → `cap_mode_heat`, `HeatSupported` → `ModeHeatSupported` - `cap_dry` → `cap_mode_dry`, `DrySupported` → `ModeDrySupported` - `cap_fan_mode` → `cap_mode_fan`, `FanSupported` → `ModeFanSupported` - `cap_auto_fan` → `cap_fan_auto`, `AutoFanSupported` → `FanAutoSupported` - `OutdoorTempSupported` → `OutdoorTemperatureSupported` - `TempCool` / `TempHeat` / `TempAuto` → `SetTemperatureCoolMinMax` / `SetTemperatureHeatMinMax` / `SetTemperatureAutoMinMax` ### Energy values - `Power` (W) and `Energy` (kWh) published both inside `MiElHVAC` and in a standard Tasmota `ENERGY{}` sub-object (`Power`/`Total`) for Home Assistant auto-discovery. - Added Web UI rows via `FUNC_WEB_SENSOR` showing instantaneous power (W) and cumulative total (kWh) on the Tasmota main page. ### Runtime i-See detection New `sc_has_isee` flag in `miel_hvac_softc`, set in `miel_hvac_input_settings` on the first widevane value indicating i-See state. Once set, stays set for the session. **Practical note:** after boot, the flag starts `false`. Units with i-See that has never been activated since Tasmota started will show `AirDirection` as hidden until i-See is first used (via IR remote or `HVACSetAirDirection`). Safe default — prevents showing misleading values on units without i-See. * MiElHVAC Full support of AirDirection control * MiELHVAC fix globals, VLA, duplicate JSON fields and float formatting ## Summary - **Remove file-scope globals** (`temp_type`, `remotetemp_active`, `remotetemp_auto_clear_time`, `remotetemp_last_call_time`, `remotetemp_half`): moved into `miel_hvac_softc` as `sc_temp_type` and `sc_remotetemp_*`. All references updated. Eliminates potential conflict with other drivers sharing the same translation unit. - **Fix VLA in `miel_hvac_send`**: `char hex_d[(len + 1) * 2]` replaced with fixed-size `(MIEL_HVAC_DATABUFLEN + 1) * 2`. Variable-length arrays on the stack are disallowed by `-Wvla` and unreliable on embedded targets. - **Make `temp_type` explicit**: helper functions `miel_hvac_deg2temp`, `miel_hvac_temp2deg`, `miel_hvac_roomtemp2deg` now take `bool temp_type` as a parameter. Detection of the extended encoding moved from render functions to `miel_hvac_input_data()`, removing a hidden side effect inside JSON serialisation code. - **Remove duplicate JSON fields**: `Purifier`, `NightMode`, `EconoCool` were emitted twice (from both the settings block and the options block). Options block now only emits `OptionsHex`. - **Fix `RemoteTemperatureSensorAutoClearTime` JSON type**: was serialised as a string (`"10000"`), now a proper JSON number (`10000`). - **Bool consistency**: assignments `= 1` / `= 0` on `bool` fields replaced with `= true` / `= false`. * MiElHVAC auto-enable i-See widevane when setting AirDirection ### Problem `HVACSetAirDirection` (`indirect` / `direct` / `even`) sets the i-See airflow direction via a `0x41 0x08` runstate packet (flag `0x2000`). The unit only honors that value once i-See airflow control is enabled, which requires `widevane=0x80` sent in a `0x01` settings packet. Until now the user had to manually run `HVACSetWideVane isee` **before** `HVACSetAirDirection`, otherwise the direction change was silently ignored. ### Change `HVACSetAirDirection` now sets the widevane to `MIEL_HVAC_SETTINGS_WIDEVANE_ISEE` (`0x80`) in the same call. The dispatcher always sends the settings (`0x01`) packet before the runstate (`0x41`) packet, so the unit receives the i-See enable first and the direction value on the following tick — no manual ordering required. ### Notes - `off` is unchanged (still expressed as `widevane=0x8c` via `0x01`). - The existing capability guard (`cap_vane_v` + `sc_has_isee`) is unchanged.
Alternative firmware for ESP8266 and ESP32 based devices with easy configuration using webUI, OTA updates, automation using timers or rules, expandability and entirely local control over MQTT, HTTP, Serial or KNX. Written for PlatformIO.
In light of current events we like to support the people behind PlatformIO Project, especially Ivan Kravets, and wish them the strength to help stop the war. See platformio-is-ukrainian-project-please-help-us-stop-the-war for what you can do.
Easy install
Easy initial installation of Tasmota can be performed using the Tasmota WebInstaller.
If you like Tasmota, give it a star, or fork it and contribute!
See RELEASENOTES.md for release information.
Firmware binaries can be downloaded from http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release/ or http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota32/release/ for ESP32 binaries.
Development
See CHANGELOG.md for detailed change information.
Unless your Tasmota powered device exhibits a problem or lacks a feature that you need, leave your device alone - it works so don’t make unnecessary changes! If the release version (i.e., the master branch) exhibits unexpected behaviour for your device and configuration, you should upgrade to the latest development version instead to see if your problem is resolved as some bugs in previous releases or development builds may already have been resolved.
Every commit made to the development branch, which is compiling successfully, will post new binary files at http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/ (this web address can be used for OTA updates too). It is important to note that these binaries are based on the current development codebase. These commits are tested as much as is possible and are typically quite stable. However, it is infeasible to test on the hundreds of different types of devices with all the available configuration options permitted.
Note that there is a chance, as with any upgrade, that the device may not function as expected. You must always account for the possibility that you may need to flash the device via the serial programming interface if the OTA upgrade fails. Even with the master release, you should always attempt to test the device or a similar prototype before upgrading a device which is in production or is hard to reach. And, as always, make a backup of the device configuration before beginning any firmware update.
Disclaimer
⚠️ DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION ⚠️
If your device connects to mains electricity (AC power) there is danger of electrocution if not installed properly. If you don't know how to install it, please call an electrician (Beware: certain countries prohibit installation without a licensed electrician present). Remember: SAFETY FIRST. It is not worth the risk to yourself, your family and your home if you don't know exactly what you are doing. Never tinker or try to flash a device using the serial programming interface while it is connected to MAINS ELECTRICITY (AC power).
We don't take any responsibility nor liability for using this software nor for the installation or any tips, advice, videos, etc. given by any member of this site or any related site.
Note
Please do not ask to add new devices unless it requires additional code for new features. If the device is not listed as a module, try using Templates first. If it is not listed in the Tasmota Device Templates Repository create your own Template.
Quick Install
Download one of the released binaries from http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release/ or http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota32/release/ and flash it to your hardware using our installation guide.
Important User Compilation Information
If you want to compile Tasmota yourself keep in mind the following:
- For ESP8285 based devices only Flash Mode DOUT is supported. Do not use Flash Mode DIO / QIO / QOUT as it might seem to brick your device.
- For ESP8285 based devices Tasmota uses a 1M linker script WITHOUT spiffs 1M (no SPIFFS) for optimal code space.
- To make compile time changes to Tasmota use the
user_config_override.hfile. It assures keeping your custom settings when you download and compile a new version. You have to make a copy from the provideduser_config_override_sample.hfile and add your setting overrides.
Configuration Information
Please refer to the installation and configuration articles in our documentation.
Migration Information
See migration path for instructions how to migrate to a major version.
Do not upgrade from minimal to minimal version. It will most likely fail at some point and will require flashing via serial. If you do have to use minimal versions, always OTA to a full version of the same release before applying next minimal version.
Pay attention to the following version breaks due to dynamic settings updates:
- Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 3.9.x
- Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 4.x
- Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 5.14
- Migrate to Sonoff-Tasmota 6.7.1 (http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release_6.7.1/sonoff.bin) - NOTICE underscore as a dash is not supported in older versions
- Migrate to Tasmota 7.2.0 (http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release-7.2.0/tasmota.bin)
--- Major change in parameter storage layout ---
- Migrate to Tasmota 8.5.1 (http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release-8.5.1/tasmota.bin)
--- Major change in internal GPIO function representation ---
- Migrate to Tasmota 9.1 (http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release-9.1.0/tasmota.bin.gz)
- Upgrade to latest release (http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release/tasmota.bin.gz)
While fallback or downgrading is common practice it was never supported due to Settings additions or changes in newer releases. Starting with release v9.1.0 Imogen the internal GPIO function representation has changed in such a way that fallback is only possible to the latest GPIO configuration before installing v9.1.0.
