# esphome-mitsubishiheatpump
ESPHome Climate Component for Mitsubishi Heatpumps using direct serial connection
Wirelessly control your Mitsubishi Comfort HeatPump with an ESP8266 or ESP32 using the [ESPHome](https://esphome.io) framework.
Wirelessly control your Mitsubishi Comfort HeatPump with an ESP8266 or ESP32
using the [ESPHome](https://esphome.io) framework.
## Features
* Instant feedback of command changes via RF Remote to HomeAssistant or MQTT.
* Direct control without the remote.
* Uses the [SwiCago/HeatPump](https://github.com/SwiCago/HeatPump) Arduino libary to talk to the unit directly via the internal CN105 header.
NOTE: REQUIRES SEVERAL FIXES - SEE [PR #155](https://github.com/SwiCago/HeatPump/pull/155)

The underlying HeatPump library works with a number of Mitsubishi HVAC

work with this library. The [HeatPump

The same `CN105` connector is used by the Mitsubishi Kumocloud remotes, which have a
[compatibility list](https://www.mitsubishicomfort.com/kumocloud/compatibility)
available.
The whole integration with this libary and the underlying HeatPump has been
tested by the author on the following units:
* `MSZ-GL06NA`
* `MFZ-KA09NA`
## Usage

### Step 1: Build a control circuit.
Build a control circuit with your MCU as detailed in the [SwiCago/HeatPump
README](https://github.com/SwiCago/HeatPump/blob/master/README.md).
You can use either an ESP8266 or an ESP32 for this.
Note that several users have reported that they've been able to get away with
not using the pull-up resistors, and just [directly connecting a Wemos D1 mini
to the control
board](https://github.com/SwiCago/HeatPump/issues/13#issuecomment-457897457)

* ESP8266 only: `logger: baud_rate: 0` - disable serial port logging on the
sole ESP8266 hardware UART
The custom climate definition should use `platform: custom` and contain a
`lambda` block, where you instanciate an instance of the MitsubishiHeatPump
class, and then register it with ESPHome. It should allso contain a "climates"
entry. On ESP32 you
can change `&Serial` to `&Serial1` or `&Serial2` and re-enable logging to the
main serial port.
If that's all greek to you, here's an example. Change "My Heat Pump" to
whatever you want.

climate:

lambda: |-
auto my_heatpump = new MitsubishiHeatPump(&Serial);
App.register_component(my_heatpump);
return {my_heatpump};

Below is an example configuration which will include wireless strength
