Homebridge ConnectLife Aircon

Control your ConnectLife air conditioners from Apple HomeKit using Homebridge.

This plugin connects to your ConnectLife account and exposes your air conditioners as Heater / Cooler accessories in the Apple Home app.

What this plugin does

For each configured air conditioner, HomeKit will show:

• Power on / off
• Auto / Cool / Heat modes
• Target temperature control
• Current room temperature
• Fan speed control
• Swing mode on / off

Everything is controlled from the Home app or via Siri.

Requirements

• A valid ConnectLife account
• One or more air conditioners visible in the ConnectLife mobile app
• Homebridge version 1.6 or newer
• Node.js version 18 or newer

Installation

From the Homebridge UI (recommended):

1. Open the Homebridge web interface
2. Go to "Plugins"
3. Search for "homebridge-connectlife-aircon"
4. Install the plugin
5. Restart Homebridge

Configuration

The user must configure the following fields:

• Email
• Password
• Appliances (by exact name)

IMPORTANT: Appliance name

The appliance name MUST exactly match the name shown in the ConnectLife app.

• It is case-sensitive
• Spaces must match exactly

Examples:

• "Living Room AC" -> correct
• "living room ac" -> wrong

Example configuration

{ "platform": "ConnectLifeAircon", "email": "[email protected]", "password": "your_connectlife_password", "appliances": [ { "name": "Living Room AC" }, { "name": "Bedroom AC" } ] }

After setup

• Restart Homebridge
• Open the Apple Home app
• Your air conditioners will appear automatically
• Each AC is shown as a single Heater / Cooler accessory

Common issues

AC does not appear:

• Check the appliance name matches exactly
• Make sure the device is online in the ConnectLife app
• Restart Homebridge and check logs

Commands do not work:

• Verify email and password
• Make sure your ConnectLife account is working in the official app
• Check Homebridge logs for errors

Notes

• This plugin uses the ConnectLife cloud API (no local control)
• Auto mode behavior depends on the AC model and firmware
• Fan speed is mapped approximately to HomeKit percentages
