Panasonic Air Conditioner / Heat Pump plugin for HomeBridge using the Panasonic Comfort Cloud API to expose Panasonic Air Conditioners to Apples HomeKit.
- Supports only a single Air Conditioner per Comfort Cloud account
- Tested only with the CZ-TACG1 adapter but may support built-in Wi-Fi adapter & CZ-CAPWFC1 adapter
- Supports Air Conditioner and may support Commercial Air Conditioner, however I don't think Air to Water Heat Pump is supported as these use the Panasonic AQUAREA app which is separate
Panasonic Air Conditioner that has a CZ-TACG1 adapter installed
- Download, install & setup the Panasonic Comfort Cloud app on your mobile device
- Create a login & add your Air Conditioner to the Comfort Cloud
Caution! It is recommended to setup another login for the Comfort Cloud and share your home to that login, as opposed to using your regular login for this plugin. Otherwise the Comfort Cloud app will log you out each time that you use this plugin (as only one user can be logged into the Comfort Cloud per login). If you plan to use multiple accessories, create separate accounts for every accessory.
- Share your login to another user setup specifically for HomeBridge. For instructions on how to do this, see Sharing Panasonic aircon with another account section below.
