SmartThings CLI climate entity for Home Assistant

A Home Assistant custom component to control Samsung HVAC units via SmartThings CLI.
This is an alternative to the official SmartThings integration, and doesn't require SSL or Home Assistant Cloud subscription.
Tested using a Samsung MIM-H04AN wifi kit with air conditioner model AC160JNHFKH/SA.

Installation

  1. Install via HACS, or manually copy the files in /custom_components/samsungac-cli/ to <config directory>/custom_components/samsungac-cli.
  2. Install the smartthings binary on your Home Assistant install.
    eg. For Home Assistant OS running on a Raspberry Pi, in a Terminal window type: 
    wget -c https://github.com/SmartThingsCommunity/smartthings-cli/releases/download/%40smartthings%2Fcli%401.0.1/smartthings-linuxstatic-armv7.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C /usr/local/bin/
    This will download and extract the smartthings binary to /usr/local/bin/smartthings.
