Works with full table
Gree air conditioners join the home Wi-Fi network through the Gree+ or EWPE Smart app. Day-to-day control goes through Gree's cloud, but the units also answer on the local network, which is why Home Assistant has a built-in Gree integration that works locally and community projects exist for openHAB, Homey and a cloud-based Home Assistant variant.
That suits people who want air conditioning inside Home Assistant or similar systems, including on rebranded units from other sellers. It is weaker for Apple Home users, because we found no HomeKit support, and for anyone wanting Matter, which we did not find. Google Home support is unclear.

The current official app, published by Gree Electric Appliances of Zhuhai. It handles Wi-Fi and Bluetooth network setup, remote control, real-time status, group control, automated and manual scenes, energy data and widgets. The listing says Siri can trigger manual scenes and that Home Assistant documentation was added in version 1.27.2.
An earlier Gree app, listed on the App Store under ZhuHai Landa Compressor, with an email contact on a cn.gree.com domain. It covers remote control and real-time status. Gree's own manuals refer to it for Wi-Fi control and say it enables both remote and LAN control. We could not confirm a Google Play link or how it relates to Gree+.
An App Store app listed under Gree as an official application for appliance management and intelligent control. We could not confirm which products it serves or how it differs from Gree+. The link goes to a third-party listing that reproduces the App Store text.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Wi-Fi | Yes | Gree's North American page describes onboard Wi-Fi in its mini-splits. To pair, Wi-Fi mode is activated from the remote and the unit is added in the app by selecting the home network. Gree's page does not give a band. A Gree+ setup walkthrough by an independent author describes the unit broadcasting a temporary Gree_ network during pairing. | Gree Comfort: Gree Wi-Fi app Gree+ setup walkthrough |
| Bluetooth | Not mentioned | The Gree+ App Store listing says network setup can use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for compatible products. We could not confirm which air conditioners support Bluetooth setup. | Gree+ listing (App Store) |

| Amazon Alexa | Official | A Gree+ app configuration guide covers an Alexa skill, the Alexa app and common voice commands. The Gree+ listing mentions third-party account binding and a third-party voice connection page. The guide is hosted on a manuals site, so we could not confirm it is Gree's own copy or which models are covered. | Gree+ configuration guide Gree+ listing (App Store) Alexa Skills store |
| Google Home | Unconfirmed | The Gree+ App Store listing does not confirm Google Home support, and its reviews mention trouble linking to it. A third-party listing says its FAQ mentions Google Assistant. The configuration guide we opened covers Alexa only. An openHAB forum post also mentions Google Assistant working with a Gree unit, without detail. | Gree+ listing (App Store) Kinghome Plus listing (MWM) |

| Home Assistant | Yes | The built-in Gree Climate integration is maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by Gree. It is listed as local polling and should work with units that run on the Gree+ app, including rebranded ones such as Trane, Innova and Cooper & Hunter. The units must already be on Wi-Fi through Gree+ or the vendor's app. It offers climate control, swing, presets and switches for panel light, quiet mode and Xtra fan, and the page reports about 1.2 percent of active installations. | Home Assistant Gree Climate |
| Home Assistant (custom integrations) | Community | Three add-ons exist. Gree Climate Cloud logs in with a Gree+ account, uses Gree's cloud MQTT broker, polls every 60 seconds and needs internet. HomeAssistant-GreeClimateComponent is a local-network component in HACS's default list that talks to the unit by IP and may fail to fetch the key if the unit was set up through a mobile app. Gree Infrared, which is built into Home Assistant, controls Gree units through an IR blaster for people who prefer not to use the network. | Gree Climate Cloud GreeClimateComponent Home Assistant Gree Infrared |
| Homey | Community | A community app by Illia Antypenko, not Athom or Gree, for Wi-Fi air conditioners from Gree and rebrands such as Cooper & Hunter, Tosot, Innova and Trane. The page lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and the self-hosted server and does not mention a Homey Bridge. It does not say whether control is local or cloud. | Homey app page |
| openHAB | Community | A Gree air conditioner binding was shared on the openHAB forum by an individual and described as not thoroughly tested at the time. Users reported it working without cloud registration. We could not confirm whether it has since entered the official add-on list. | openHAB forum thread |
| Local protocol | Community | The local approach used by the integrations above is an unofficial protocol on the home network. The Home Assistant component describes a reverse-engineered setup to obtain the encryption key, and says the official app connects directly only during setup. Gree does not document it in the pages we found. | GreeClimateComponent |
