Control-MELCloudDevice

A PowerShell module for controlling your Mitsubishi Electric's MELCloud device(s).

Installation

Open a new PowerShell session, navigate to the folder containing the manifest (and the functions) and then import the module.

Example:

Import-Module .\Control-MELCloudDevice.psd1 -Force

You can then use the Get-Command cmdlet to verify the available commands in this module:

Get-Command -Module Control-MELCloudDevice

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Function        Get-MELCloudContextKey                             1.0        Control-MELCloudDevice
Function        Get-MELCloudDevice                                 1.0        Control-MELCloudDevice
Function        Get-MELCloudDeviceInfo                             1.0        Control-MELCloudDevice
Function        Set-MELCloudDevice                                 1.0        Control-MELCloudDevice
Function        Start-MELCloudDevice                               1.0        Control-MELCloudDevice
Function        Stop-MELCloudDevice                                1.0        Control-MELCloudDevice

Available functions:

1. Get-MELCloudContextKey

This first function is the place to begin. In order to communicate with the MELCloud API and your device, you must authenticate yourself. To successfully retrieve an API-key (Mitsubishi uses the term 'ContextKey', so I decided to use that name), you must provide a valid username and password.

2. Get-MELCloudDeviceInfo

Will list all kind of technical information about your MELCloudDevice(s).

3. Get-MELCloudDevice

Will list all of your registered MELCloud devices.

4. Start-MELCloudDevice

Use this function to start your selected device.

5. Set-MELCloudDevice

This is probably the most useful function in this module. This badboy allows you to set different settings on your device. You can adjust the temperature, set desired fan speed and change the mode (heating or cooling).

6. Stop-MELCloudDevice

Allows you to shutdown your device.
