Need Help: ESPHome YAML for AG8 Board to Control 4 Gree AC Units with Temperature - engrezk - 07-28-2025

Hello Admin and respected members,
I purchased the AG8 control board , and I’m currently working on a smart home project. I would like to integrate this board with ESPHome to control four Gree air conditioners.
I need a YAML configuration file that allows me to:
  • Turn each AC unit on and off individually
  • Also control the temperature for each unit
It would be very helpful if the YAML file includes clear comments for each part, to make it easier to understand.
I already checked the ESPHome documentation for Gree ACs:
? https://esphome.io/components/climate/climate_ir.html#gree-ir
I kindly ask for your support in providing the suitable code.
Thank you very much for your time and help ?

because we don't have "Gree" brand air conditioner for testing.
do you have modify the yaml for your air conditioner? have some issue?

Hello,

I previously used KCS Firmware to control the air-conditioner without any issues. Now I’d like to switch to ESPHome, and I need your help to provide a complete YAML file suitable for an ESP32-S3 (AG8 board) to control Gree air-conditioners. Please note that I will connect the board via a LAN cable.

Thank you for your support.

I have attached the configuration file and a screenshot, but the entities are not showing up. Could you please complete any missing sections in the configuration file if something was left out?
