Midea Air Conditioners

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.

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and requirements are consistent with a local-network Midea AC controller and do not ask for unrelated secrets or unusual installs.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the included Python script: it controls Midea ACs on the local network using the msmart library and hard-coded device IPs. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or services are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md maps natural-language intents to specific script commands and instructs running the included script from the skill directory. One minor concern: some NL mappings (e.g., "Warmer / more warm") leave a wide discretionary range ("increase by 2 - 10 degrees") that an agent must concretely choose; the script itself enforces temperature bounds (16–30°C). Otherwise the instructions remain within the stated purpose and do not ask the agent to read unrelated files or exfiltrate data.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only with an included script). The script depends on the public msmart-ng library (not bundled). No downloads or non-standard installers are referenced.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. It controls devices only via local IPs listed in the AC_IPS dict. Asking for local device IPs (hard-coded) is expected for this purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not forced-always and uses default autonomous invocation settings. This is normal, but be aware that allowing an agent to invoke the skill lets it turn on/off or change settings for devices on your LAN—expected for a home-automation skill but a potential privacy/availability consideration.

Assessment

This skill appears to be what it claims: a local-network Midea AC controller implemented in a small Python script. Before installing, verify the following: (1) inspect and update AC_IPS in scripts/midea_ac.py so it lists only your ACs' IPs (remove any unknown addresses); (2) install the dependency from PyPI (pip install msmart-ng) from a trusted environment; (3) be aware that granting the agent access to run this skill allows it to control the listed ACs on your LAN (turn on/off, change temps); (4) because the source is unknown, consider reviewing the code yourself or running it in a restricted environment if you are uncomfortable. The script does not request external credentials or appear to exfiltrate data.

AC Control Commands

# Navigate to skill directory
cd ~/.openclaw/skills/midea_ac

# Check status
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom status

# Turn on/off
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom on
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom off
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom toggle

# Set operation mode
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom --mode cool

# Set target temperature
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom --temperature 26

# Set fan speed
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom --fan_speed low

# Set aux hear mode
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom --aux_mode on

# Set multiple parameters at once
python scripts/midea_ac.py bedroom --mode heat --temperature 28 --fan_speed medium --aux_mode off

Natural Language Understanding

When the user says the following, execute the corresponding command:

User Says	Command
Turn on the <room-name> AC / open AC	scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> on
Turn off the <room-name> AC / close <room-name> AC	scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> off
Toggle the <room-name> AC	scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> toggle
Warmer / more warm	Check status first, then increase temperature by 2 - 10 degrees
Cooler / less heat	Check status first, then decrease temperature by 2 - 10 degrees
Full speed / maximum	if mode is heat: scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> --temperature 30 --fan_speed max, if mode is cool: scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> --temperature 16 --fan_speed max
Minimum speed	scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> --fan_speed low
<room-name> AC status / what's the <room-name> status	scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> status

Before Executing

1. Navigate to skill directory: cd ~/.openclaw/skills/midea_ac
2. Run with uv: python scripts/midea_ac.py <room-name> <command>
3. Report the result to the user after execution
