# Midea AC

The default Midea integration does not support most common Midea devices. To support common Midea M-Smart devices like Air conditioners, Fans, Water heaters, Washers, etc you will need to install a HACS addon (See [Enable HACS](https://www.wswapps.com/books/home-assistant/page/enable-hacs-home-assistant-community-store "Enable HACS - Home Assistant Community Store") if you don't have/know about that first).

Unfortunately the main "Midea AC Lan" add-on is broken and appears abandoned by the initial developer (a common problems with HACS addons). However there are a few forks which have continued development and fixed issues. The most well supported fork I have found is: [https://github.com/wuwentao/midea\_ac\_lan](https://github.com/wuwentao/midea_ac_lan)

### To install

1. Go to the HACS menu in Home Assistant
2. Select "Custom Repositories" from the upper-right 3-dot menu
3. For the Repository field enter: https://github.com/wuwentao/midea\_ac\_lan
4. For the Type field select: **Integration**
5. Click Add and then Download.
6. After restarting Home Assistant you should see it in the usual **Settings > Devices & services > Add Integration** menu

**Note:** If install fails, make sure you did not select the other "Midea AC Lan" in HACS. It has more downloads listed, but is also broken.
