Thanks - after waiting years for this device to be back in stock at Amazon, it arrived today and I got it installed. The casing took some playing with to take off, the bottom seemed to be stuck and required some prying even once the screws were out.
Almost 4 years later and your video is still useful.... THANK YOU! The steps were perfect. Though it didn't work right away, it took a few minutes for some strange reason but is now working like a charm!!!
Great to hear!
This is gold to a DIYer like me. Thanks!
Nice work. My system used the WF-2 (Wireless Interface 2) and had three zones using a different head (MSZ), so the CN105 connection was different, but your setup instructions with the Kumo Cloud app were spot on. You literally saved me $1,000+ by ordering and installing the wireless units myself vs the quote I received from our HVAC contractor. Thank you!
Always glad to hear success stories like yours. Thanks for sharing!

Can you tell me how the setup and connection was different? I will have two zones on my application running off of one condensing unit (MXZ-3C30NA2)
Excellent video. PAC-USWHS002-WF-2 adapter and app work like a charm on our MSZ-HM18NA. Couldn't have navigated the app without the show-and-tell. Saved me a bundle. Thanks.
So glad you found success! Thanks for the great comment!
Thank you! Why mitsubishi doesn’t provide halfway decent instructions is beyond me
Thanks James -- I installed with my MSZ-GE12NA-9 -- pretty straight forward (thanks for showing how to run the wire up the back). Alexa integration also a snap. Appreciate this video!
So glad to hear all worked out for you on this upgrade. Thanks for sharing so others will benefit too!
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much! 😎
Best tutorial I have seen. Thanks for the help
James, you saved my life! Awesome stuff! 👍🏻
Thank you for this video.... this is the only place I Was able to get good info on the install... especially the Installer Code.... Many thanks !!!! Ron
Glad it helped!
@@MyPIDream I also enjoyed your video on cleaning that unit , which I found about a year ago. Good stuff... keep em coming :)
i have been waiting for this info. Thanks bunches !!!
Welcome! 🌴🌴🌴
Nice one James
Thank you for this video!!
Hello James , Technology is amazing what a wonderful world :)
new project for US house. mgndang araw james & necie! got myself a project as well - total house renovation or rebuilding. our ancestral home is for rebuilding, its week one already. hope i can vlog it also and start my channel. wish me luck. 😉
hi necie! thanks, i will. happy Sunday!
Good morning James and Ness👍
Thank you very much, this was very helpful
Glad it helped!
I don't have access to turn off the breaker for my unit (apartment building), Would I safely be able to add the wifi adapter without hurting myself or the unit?
I think you are cool even even if you didn't have an AC. This was an awesome video. Thanks! I had four Mitsu head units installed a couple of months ago. I did not think to ask about wifi control. When the installer was done, I was left with 4 remote control units. Ugh.
The wifi remote rocks plus it give a wider degree of thermostat settings than the stock remote.
Thanks! That's awesome! I love the AC units, but have been underwhelmed by the remotes. I ordered one of the Wifi units last night. I'll try it out on the head unit in my living room before committing to more.
I love this type of ac cool only what n where u want
Me also Colleen! We're so geeky! 🌴🌴
Good evening James and Ness
Seems like a pretty simple install
Good afternoon, time to watch your clip!
Enjoy! ⭐️
Enjoyed!
James, it's getting close to your return to Villa Feliz, was wondering if you would mind doing an episode on home gardening, i.e. types of vegetables available, tomatoes, okra, zucchini, ect. Soil types, and certain seasons for planting and harvesting. Anything in this area would be great. Thank you in advance! Enjoy yourselves !
Where did you finally place the PAC-USWHS002-WF-1 once it was hooked up and working? Inside the unit? Stick it to the side or wall??
Thanks for this video. I watched your mini split cleaning video years back, which was great, and was happy to see this video as I had been recently wondering if Mitsubishi had a wifi adapter like other brands. Are you aware of where i can get the WF-1 adapter? I found the updated WF-2 adapter, but per the compatibility chart for the WF-2 adapter, my unit (MSZ-A series) is listed as not compatible. I’m assuming the WF-1 adapter is my only option here, right?
Excuse me james if i ask you a question. The controlling cable between your generator and the ATS , how was the cable lenght extended ,as the supplied lenght is only approx 6 feet and like your set up my ats and gen are in diferent locations. Thanks I hope you have time to answer this.
I used a CAT6 cable to extend the control link between the generator and the ATS.
Hi ate ness.. 🙌 and kuya james have blessed rainny day.. thess from cavite imus
Everybody wants to be cool! Now you can be cool from opposite sides of the planet! 😎 😎 😎
Thank you, this was incredibly helpful! Would you still recommend this system in 2022? I have 5 indoor units and one external Mitsubishi hyperheat heat pump. My HVAC installer gave me Flair pucks but am having several software issues with them. Looking for a different solution for being able to control/schedule my head units via phone/Internet.
I'm still a big fan of split type units. This unit, along with several other models by companies like Daikin and LG are on the top of my list.
@@MyPIDream Sorry, I meant system for controlling these units via phone. Seems like Mitsubishi also has MHK1, MHK2, etc.
Thanks for the video. Piece of cake to install. Shame on the manufacturer insisting on a "professional" to install. I do have one question about Kumo.....When programing an "event" I can easily find the start time section, but I don't see anything for stop time. Am I missing something?
I'm trying to find the wi-fi interface socket on my spilit unit (MSZ-GL42VGD), can anyone help?
Have you check on Mr Cool ? Can use your phone to control your aircon
Are you still using Kumo cloud in 2023? If not, what have you moved on to?
Great video. Thank you. With this wireless remote installed and connected will the handheld remote still work? What is the link to the "part one" video about the maintenance?
Yes, the remote still works. The cleaning episode is th-cam.com/video/texGW7Gi3fg/w-d-xo.html
hi sir james...god bless
I really appreciate this video, so thank you. I am about to order the adapters for two head units in my home. My question for you has to do with compatibility. I notice that your head unit is the MSZ-GE12NA, the same as I have, but when I check the compatibility sheets for both adapters with model numbers PAC-USWHS002-WF-1 and PAC-USWHS002-WF-2, this head unit is listed as "not compatible." Can you shed any light on this?
Hi Robert. First off, thanks for watching the episode. I always recommend contacting Mitsubishi support when you have questions concerting compatibility. I will tell you though some of the cross references for compatibility isn't up to date which may make your unit compatible with the remote. If your unit has the interface connector, then there's a good chance you can use the adapter.
@@MyPIDream I checked before ordering and the interface connector is there. I will let you know how it goes once I have installed them.
Question: Do you just let the control unit hang like that? What do people do to make it less unsightly? Thanks!
I’m having an issue with mine blinking away at night when trying to sleep, lights are very bright in a dark room which is annoying. The installers of mine set it on top of the unit
hi james,i live here in the US and I need a security camera in my home in the Philippines. Any suggestion? i need one that i can get a live feed on my phone and laptop and maybe a two way camera will be great too. so i can talk and hear whats going on.
There are plenty of options there in the Philippines or you can bring a couple of your own from here back there. What you select depends on your how much resolution you want, whether it is RG or IP based, need for a NVR and mostly your budget. I have Dahau cameras there which connect to a Network Video Recorder(NVR) which gives me playback or recorded video. If you don't want to spend the additional cost for an NVR, then you can get a camera that stores the recorded locally on a SD card in the camera or in the cloud. I'm in the process of testing a camera here in our US house that I'll do a review on. Standby for that. Since you asked maybe I'll discuss different technologies and options on that video. There's just too much to discuss in the comments section here. Great question!
I have two indoor head units (upstairs and downstairs); do I need two of these Wi-Fi units?
Yes. One for each split head.
Can you tell us if the interface unit can be mounted to a typical electrical device box? In other words, does it have a grooved holes on the back that would facilitate hanging the unit on the screws that sit at the top and bottom of a single gang device box?
Being an integration engineer, I'd say almost anything is possible if you don't mind cutting wires and adding extensions but as this unit is made at the factory to mount properly out of site not sure why you'd want to do that.
@@MyPIDream
Why would I need to cut the cable? From the images it appears to have a connector on one end that would easily fit through a knockout, allowing you to thread it through the wall space then back to the AC unit.
@@MyPIDream wrote: “…made at the factory to mount properly out of site (sic)…”
From the video and images, the interface unit it hanging on the wall (using temporary stick pads) in plain sight with the cable draping across the wall. Am I not seeing something?
Thanks for the great tutorial! This was really helpful. I have a dual-band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz router. Will this wireless interface work with my router? Do you have a dual-band router or are you using a 2.4Ghz only router? Thanks very much!
Yes it will.
Do you know if you can connect Kumo cloud to Google Home to use Google assistant for voice controls? Also, can you connect your Mitsubishi to a Google Nest thermostat with this device? Thanks!
I don't have experience with these Google products as I'm an Amazon home automation integrator. When I installed this system, at that time Kumo was not compatible with our Amazon smart home products.
@@MyPIDream Ok, thanks for the info!
My units no longer connect to my router. I have tried to reconnect them. When it reaches Checking network Connection, it kicks me back. And tells me to make sure I have the right wifi credentials. I have tried 4 different routers and still nothing. Any suggestions? I have also tried multiple android phones and iPhones
Hello, I fount it difficult to purchase PAC-USWHS002-WF-1 which is discontinued. We supposed to get PAC-USWHS002-WF-2 , but not sure it will work with my system MSZ-HM15NA
Yes, it is compatible with your model. shop.rfwel.com/mitsubishi-electric-pac-uswhs002-wf-2-wireless-wi-fi-interface-control-2/
We have units in multiple rooms. I was doing good with setup on the first few. But all of a sudden, when I'm at the "zone" part of the setup where it's supposed to search for the nearby units, it just keeps circling and circling and no units come up in the list. I double checked the wifi network, password, restarted the device, everything I can think of... Do you know what might be happening?
Same happening to me i think we need to reset adapter again
Hi James, Looks like you will have complete control via your cell phone from at home and abroad. I don't know if you have mentioned this before or not but I was just wondering if you plan on keeping residence in the States. I have thought myself about what to do with my home in the USA after we build a home in the Philippines, I'm sure there are others who have to make the same decision. I have always thought it would be nice to keep a home here and split our time between the Philippines and US. The things I worry about are usually connected to security of the residences, and the expense involved with keeping up two separate homes. Hey, I really so enjoy your Vlogs, keep up the good work, look forward to see the finish of Villa Feliz.
Ness still has 3-5 years to complete her working assignment here in the US. Once that's done, we'll sell the property in the USA to supplement our retirement full time in the Philippines at Villa Feliz.
I thought I read an article on the web and now I can't find it. Is there a way to disable the blinking blue lights on the unit so they don't blink all night long? Can see this being a nuisance for some.
Ours always blinks...I'm not sure you can disable it but I haven't researched that option.
I'm unable to find where to plug the wi-fi connector on indoor split unit, please help.
At 9:00 into the video it shows you where the connector is. th-cam.com/video/U0aPWvbfMRA/w-d-xo.html
So using Kumo with this device, you have a thermostat in your hand for each location?
Yes, each split can be controlled seperately.
Thank you. Ordered mine, and in addition I ordered the remote temp/humidity sensor. Coming in this weekend…psyched to get them installed. This video is a god send!
The blue flashing lights are annoying me when sleeping in a dark room, can the unit be mounted inside the mini split? Or have the lights disabled?
Or maybe put some tape over the flashing light?
@@MyPIDream I ended up finding out there is an option in the kumo cloud app where you can turn the flashing LEDs off. I found this out after taping all of them lol
How did you just pop off the cover of the unit? Mine is taking a ridiculous amount of force and it still feels like the base is going to completely come off the wall. Yes, I unscrewed the two screws. It just won't open!
There is a third screw to the right of the filters.
@@lawrencewhysall8147, removing that screw doesn't do anything on my unit but expose the three wires attached to screws behind it. I am like Sean above, mine doesn't want to budge with just the 2 bottom clips and screws removed. I am afraid to pull up or out any harder....don't want it to come off the backing plate. Any other ideas?
@@lawrencewhysall8147 Good point. I just added our Mitsubishi PAC-USWHS002-WF-2 adapter to our blower; the video is terrific, especially the app setup part. As you point out regarding screw number 3, I would underscore anyone looking to do this make sure to check the install manual for the number of screws needed to come out before pulling off the cover. There is indeed a 3rd screw in some models. I'd also check to see if removing the wind direction louvers makes it easier the get the cover off. It did for me. Ours has 1-louver to control air direction.
Tested taking my cover off today (MSZ GE09NA - 8) Was certainly more difficult than the video….After removing the louvers and screws, just slowly pried the sides with a small putty knife.
How can you change the connected wifi if you get a new router?
Follow the instructions that came with the wireless remote. Using the app on your phone you will be able to select the SSID for your new router.
Thank you James, for telling people to shut the power off at the breaker box ...... just because the unit is off does not mean it is not still getting power !!!!! As an air conditioner tech, I hear of people getting lit up, the wife tells on the husband, hahaha, then he calls us, because the wife makes him !!!!! Hahaha
Safety first!
I could have this wrong; but here goes anyway. With the provided remote, when you set a start/stop time for an event, the fan actually shuts off when the event is “off”. With Kumo it only has a “start” feature. Does anyone know if there is a “stop event” feature on Kumo?
What a dummy….figured out you just have to set a new event to turn off unit at a set time….jeeze…I swear I don’t know how I made it to 70!
This wireless interface works in a 2 inside units and 1 out door
I need to rest my kump cloud adapter it must be hidden somewhere in the wall unit
Thanks for the info. I give you a double thanks if you add the links to your references in your video comment.
Added the links to the wireless interface, Kumo Cloud and my split air conditioner unit. Hope this helps.
What model are you installing that on
