Introduction
The Mitsubishi Electric driver from Smart Home Programming and Automation gives RTI two-way local control of up to 8 Mitsubishi Electric split-system air conditioners through their Wi-Fi interface (MAC-578IF and similar), using the ECHONET Lite protocol on UDP port 3610. Everything stays on the local network - no cloud service, account or internet connection is used.
Each unit gets power, mode, fan, vane and setpoint control with feedback, plus a thermostat Web Object page hosted on the processor itself.
Driver Features
- Local control over ECHONET Lite (UDP 3610) - no cloud dependency.
- Up to 8 units in one driver, each with its own IP address and room name.
- Multi-source workspace items - add each unit to its own room; tagged buttons wire to that unit.
- Power on / off / toggle; mode cool, heat, auto, dry, fan (plus cycle); fan auto and speeds 1-5 (plus cycle); vane auto, swing and positions 1-5; setpoint 16-31 C (up/down or set).
- Feedback for power, mode, fan, vane, setpoint, room temperature and fault state, per unit and mirrored to "Sel" variables for the selected unit.
- Standard RTI thermostat tags (Stat Cool, Stat Heat, Stat Setpoint Up, Stat Temp In, and so on) for template auto-binding.
- Web Object thermostat on the processor (default port 8091): dial setpoint, mode/fan/vane pickers, power, per-device appearance settings.
- Events for power, mode, fan, setpoint, vane, temperature, connect/disconnect, error and fault.
Supported Devices
- Mitsubishi Electric split systems with a Wi-Fi interface that supports ECHONET Lite: MAC-578IF-E (tested by Smart Home Programming), MAC-568IF-E and MAC-588IF-E.
- Indoor units such as the MSZ-AP, MSZ-EF, MSZ-GE, MSZ-GL and MSZ-LN series fitted with one of those interfaces.
Other ECHONET Lite air conditioners may respond but are not supported. Test the trial against your own unit before buying a key.
System Requirements
- Integration Designer - 11.4 or above
- RTI processor - XP-8 class (XP-3 / XP-6 / XP-6s / XP-8 / XP-8s / XP-8v)
- Processor script runtime - 24 or above
- Each AC Wi-Fi interface and the processor on the same subnet, UDP port 3610 not blocked.
Limitations
- Celsius only (ECHONET Lite reports Celsius). Setpoint range is 16-31 C.
- The AC does not report outdoor temperature; Stat Temp Out shows the indoor reading.
- Feedback is polled (default every 10 seconds per unit), so a change made on the wall remote can take one poll interval to appear.
- Each unit needs ECHONET Lite enabled in the Mitsubishi app and a fixed IP address. The processor and units must be on the same subnet.
- The trial restarts whenever the driver is reloaded or the processor restarts.
