Confirmed Working Models

  • 300S
  • 400S
  • AP-1512HHS
  • IconS

Installation

An account (E-mail/Password) created directly through Coway is required. As of late 2022, Coway has required accounts to be migrated to a "Coway account". With that said, this integration will only work if you have migrated your account to a Coway account.

With HACS

This integration is part of the HACS default repo.

  1. Go to the HACS integrations page and select + EXPLORE & DOWNLOAD REPOSITORIES (lower right-hand corner)
  2. Search for Coway and select it.
  3. Select Download (lower right-hand corner)
  4. Select Download once again
  5. Restart Home Assistant
  6. Follow the instructions in the Setup section

Manual

  1. Copy the coway directory from custom_components in this repository and place inside your Home Assistant's custom_components directory.
  2. Restart Home Assistant
  3. Follow the instructions in the Setup section

Note: If installing manually, in order to be alerted about new releases, you will need to subscribe to releases from this repository.

Setup

Navigate to Settings > Devices & Services > click the + Add Integration button > search for "Coway" (restart Home Assistant and / or clear browser cache if you can't find it)

Alternatively, click on the button below to add the integration:

Open your Home Assistant instance and start setting up a new integration.

Note: Coway has implemented password checks which prompts users to change or ignore changing passwords that are 60 or more days old. If you want to skip changing your password, select the Skip password change option during setup. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will need to manually login using the IoCare app and change your password followed by reauthentication of the integration within Home Assistant.

Devices

Note

Coway is shipping new 400S (possibly also 300S) units, which are not reporting AQI.

The AQI sensor entity is not available for these new units.

If/when Coway's servers start reporting AQI values, AQI sensor entities will be made available.

Each purifier is exposed as a device in Home Assistant.

Each purifier has the following entities:
