=== | ===Cloud dependance on WiFi featured devices (''date'')=== | ||
{{ | GREE Devices with Wi-Fi connection are heavily dependent on their cloud connection, and refuse to function properly with third-party local network integrations like Home Assistant | ||
By blocking all internet traffic from the device, it automatically disconnects from the network within 30 seconds and breaks all integrations for next 5 minutes, after which the loop begins again{{Citation needed}}. | |||
Proposed solution for this problem is to host a [https://codeberg.org/joserebelo/gree-dummy-tls-server dummy server] and pointing all gree.com DNS records towards the dummy server, which fools the unit to think it has active cloud connection and stop it from disconnecting{{Citation needed}}. However, with newer firmware versions, GREE has switched its communication, rendering dummy server as-it-is currently, useless.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-08-25 |title=Github issue: Firmware 1.31: Gree Dummy TLS Server no longer working.
