Hi zjg,

I understand you're an engineer from Midea company experiencing issues with air conditioner temperature control through Google Home, and you're asking about optimizing the AC-unit page in the Google Home interface.

To address your specific question about temperature adjustment issues and page optimization, I'll need some additional details:

1. Which specific Midea air conditioner model are you referring to?
2. Are you using the Google Home app to control the device or voice commands?
3. Could you describe the exact behavior when attempting to adjust the temperature?
4. Are there specific UI elements on the AC-unit page that you believe need optimization?

For Smart Home partners like Midea, we have documentation about device representations and UI optimization at our developer portal. This includes guidelines for creating optimal device controls.

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.

"The air conditioners used to show up as climate appliances,and then started appearing as just fans. This is reported by a great number of users"This is a question raised by the customer.

Customer think Google Home App's homepage not matched with air conditioning.

Like:Homepage appear fans icon.

I can't upload the question picture,but you should thow that Google Home App's homepage.

The customer's preference is for the Google Home homepage to display a climate regulating device rather than something like a fan.

So We want optimize this homepage to make it look better and provide a better user experience.

I would like to know if you have any optimization plans.

I understand the UI inconsistency with air conditioners displaying as fans instead of climate appliances in Google Home App. Can you file this as a bug in Google's public issue tracker and share the bug ID here. Our internal teams will handle further.
