Feature(AC): Flash mode missing

[ndoulgeridis]

Device type and model (or SN)

00000Q1B (8) 01JEVWJCXXXXXXXXXX

The description of new feature

The model I own (Brezeeless) it has a feature called Flash.
This is different than boost. Boost is another option less efficient. The Flash is really the fastest but most power consuming way to cool or heat within some minutes your place.

However there is no way to find this Flash option in the home assistant. It is not an option in the card neither on the state have found something relevant to it.

Here is the screenshot in the app of the Flash feature:

Here is the extra boost mode which is working from home assistant but is not the same with Flash:

Is there way to add this attribute as well somehow?

Thanks a lot!

you device type should be AC? and using Smarthome APP?
please provide your device SN, it should be available in your SmartHome app with device detail.

Yes it's Air condition and I do use Smarthome APP and it's a "Brezeeless E Series CB1-18HRFN8-I"

When i select device and then select About device there is no SN but only terminal bardcode.

From Home assistant when I download statistics I get on the filename this, so maybe that's the SN (?): 01JEVW7EEHRHN68Q0XXXXXXXXX

@ndoulgeridis

midea have more differnt types SN, used for different purpose.

1. below is a simple step:
   just backup your device xxx.json or rename it.
   remove your device, enable debug log, add it with discovery, you can found the SN info in debug log.
   for example:

2024-12-15 00:26:55.828 DEBUG (MainThread) [midealocal.discover] Found a supported device: {'device_id': xxx, 'type': 172, 'ip_address': '192.168.1.22', 'port': 6444, 'model': 'xxx', 'sn': 'xxx', 'protocol': 3}

this SN is what we expected.

method 3: in addition, if you can login to HAOS and start docker.
also can be do below manual steps:

1. ssh login to HAOS
2. run docker with docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash
3. run discover debug command: python3 -m midealocal.cli discover -d --host x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x is your device IP)

you can also found the same output as debug log.

we can use your device SN to confirm your device protocol details.

OK with method 3 I think figured it out:

2024-12-17 14:04:39.745 DEBUG (MainThread) [midealocal.discover] Found a supported device: {'device_id': 1528321166XXXXX, 'type': 172, 'ip_address': '192.168.1.25', 'port': 6444, 'model': '00000Q11', 'sn': '000000P0000000Q1102C8D35D5610000', 'protocol': 3}

2024-12-17 20:02:47.383 DEBUG (MainThread) [midealocal.discover] Found a supported device: {'device_id': 1539316282XXXXX, 'type': 172, 'ip_address': '192.168.1.205', 'port': 6444, 'model': '00000Q1B', 'sn': '000000P0000000Q1B07839D53D480000', 'protocol': 3}

Note: I have 2 devices of same model but different BTU
