midea_ac
Control Midea ACs. Use this skill when the user wants to control ACs. Supports turning ACs on/off, setting temperature, setting fan speed, switching modes, and more.
Why use this skill?
Easily manage your Midea AC units using OpenClaw. Adjust temperature, fan speeds, and operational modes with simple natural language commands.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/iamanorange/midea-acWhat This Skill Does
The midea_ac skill provides a seamless interface for controlling Midea smart air conditioners directly from your OpenClaw agent. By leveraging the msmart backend, this skill allows for granular control over climate settings, including power state, target temperature, operational modes, and fan speed. Whether you are managing the temperature in your bedroom or adjusting the living room AC before you arrive home, this skill ensures your environment remains comfortable with simple natural language requests. It abstracts away the complexity of terminal-based control scripts, enabling intuitive voice or text commands.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw skill management system. Execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/iamanorange/midea-ac
Once installed, the skill files will be located at ~/.openclaw/skills/midea_ac. The agent will automatically recognize the available scripts within this directory for executing climate control tasks.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for home automation enthusiasts who want to integrate their smart home hardware with their AI assistant. Common use cases include:
- Automating daily routines: Automatically switching to 'cool' mode at a specific temperature when you wake up.
- Energy efficiency: Quickly turning off all AC units in the house when leaving for work.
- Rapid comfort adjustments: Using shortcuts like 'full speed' to rapidly cool or heat a room upon arrival.
- Remote monitoring: Quickly querying the status of any AC unit to confirm its current mode and temperature without using a mobile app.
Example Prompts
- "Turn on the bedroom AC and set it to 24 degrees."
- "What is the current status of the living room AC?"
- "It's getting too hot in here, make it cooler in the study."
Tips & Limitations
- The skill requires the specific room name to be defined as it exists in your msmart configuration.
- For relative commands like 'warmer' or 'cooler,' the agent is designed to perform a status check first to ensure the temperature adjustment is safe and effective.
- When using the 'full speed' command, the agent smartly distinguishes between cooling and heating profiles to optimize for the target temperature (16 or 30 degrees respectively).
- Ensure your Midea device is connected to the same local network as the agent to prevent communication timeouts.
