Frequently asked questions​

What is MELCloud?​

MELCloud is Mitsubishi Electric's cloud service used to control compatible Mitsubishi air conditioning units and heat pumps from a phone or computer. The Gladys MELCloud integration connects to that service so you can control the same units from Gladys and use them in your home automations.

Can I control my Mitsubishi air conditioning with Gladys?​

Yes. Once MELCloud is connected, Gladys exposes your Mitsubishi units with their main features: switch them on or off, change the mode (cooling, heating, etc.) and set the target temperature, from the dashboard, the chat or a scene.

Can I automate my Mitsubishi AC in scenes?​

Yes. MELCloud devices can be used in Gladys scenes: for example turn the AC on when the temperature rises above a threshold, turn it off when everyone leaves home, or set a specific temperature at a scheduled time.

My devices are not appearing​

Make sure your devices are properly configured in the MELCloud app and that you can control them from there. Then try refreshing the discovery in Gladys.

Connection issues​

If you have connection issues, verify that:

  • Your MELCloud credentials are correct
  • Your MELCloud account is active
  • You have internet connectivity

If you have any questions, ask on the forum.
