HiSense ultra-slim AC HLAW0825TW -- only sensors loading, no switches

[kleinbaum]

Hi! I just got a new Hisense Ulta-Slim window AC unit (HLAW0825TW). I added to the ConnectLife app, then added the integration to Home Assistant. Home Assistant sees the AC unit (Hardware: 008-399), but everything is listed as a sensor, without any switches. So I can see the status of the AC unit, including on/off, temp, etc., but I can't actually turn it on/off or change the temp.

Any ideas how to fix this? Something I'm doing on my end? Thanks!

Figured this out! There was no 008-399.yaml in the data-dictionaries folder. I copied 008-301 to 008-399, restarted HA, and voila, it works!

Excellent! This should work OOTB with the next release then.

Just adding to this - I have the same model window AC and I also had to create the 008-399.yaml to get the device to function with HA. I originally copied the 008-301 per this comment but still had issues with mapping and missing some features. I then instead referenced the 008 yaml and this seems to be working better.

However, there are still some features missing that I may need to manually map (unless someone already has done so?). Some features like controlling the fan motion/swivel, setting "quiet" mode as well as "eco" mode still do not show up in the AH card, but do appear as hidden sensors fortunately.
