How do I temporarily disable Homely and control my Midea heat pump?

If you're having a technical issue with Homely, we'd recommend trying the Homely Support Bot first, the bot can be found at the bottom of the website home page.

If you're unable to solve your issue with the Support Bot, try contacting a member of the Support Team here.

If you have an urgent issue and aren't able to contact a member of the team; please follow these steps to take revert control back to your heat pump.

The following article is a guide to reverting control back to your Midea heat pump.

Disabling Homely

Please unplug the black micro USB power cable from the front of the Homely Hub. Keep the power cable unplugged until you are able to return control back to Homely.
