esphome-mitsubishiheatpump
Wirelessly control your Mitsubishi Comfort HVAC equipment with an ESP8266 or ESP32 using the ESPHome framework.
Features
- Instant feedback of command changes via RF Remote to HomeAssistant or MQTT.
- Direct control without the remote.
- Uses the SwiCago/HeatPump Arduino
libary to talk to the unit directly via the internal
CN105
connector.
Requirements
- https://github.com/SwiCago/HeatPump
- ESPHome 1.18.0 or greater
Supported Microcontrollers
This library should work on most ESP8266 or ESP32 platforms. It has been tested with the following MCUs:
- Generic ESP-01S board (ESP8266)
- WeMos D1 Mini (ESP8266)
- Generic ESP32 Dev Kit (ESP32)
Supported Mitsubishi Climate Units
The underlying HeatPump library works with a number of Mitsubishi HVAC
units. Basically, if the unit has a CN105
header on the main board, it should
work with this library. The HeatPump
wiki has a more
exhaustive list.
The same CN105
connector is used by the Mitsubishi KumoCloud remotes, which
have a
compatibility list
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. You can use either an ESP8266 or an ESP32 for this.
Note: 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 via CN105.
Step 2: Use ESPHome 1.18.0 or higher
The code in this repository makes use of a number of features in the 1.18.0 version of ESPHome, including various Fan modes and external components.
Step 3: Add this repository as an external component
Add this repository to your ESPHome config:
external_components:
- source: github://geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump
Step 4: Configure the heatpump
Add a mitsubishi_heatpump
to your ESPHome config:
mitsubishi_heatpump:
name: "My Heat Pump"
# Optional
hardware_uart: UART0
# Optional
update_period: 500ms
On ESP8266 you'll need to disable logging to serial because it conflicts with the heatpump UART:
logger:
baud_rate: 0
On ESP32 you can change hardware_uart
to UART1
or UART2
and keep logging
enabled on the main serial port.
Note: this component DOES NOT use the ESPHome uart
component, as it requires
direct access to a hardware UART via the Arduino HardwareSerial
class. The
Mitsubishi Heatpump units use an atypical serial port setting ("even parity").
Parity bit support is not implemented in any of the existing software serial
libraries, including the one in ESPHome. There's currently no way to guarantee
access to a hardware UART nor retrieve the HardwareSerial
handle from the
uart
component within the ESPHome framework.
Example configuration
Below is an example configuration which will include wireless strength
indicators and permit over the air updates. You'll need to create a
secrets.yaml
file inside of your esphome
directory with entries for the
various items prefixed with !secret
.

Other Implementations
The gysmo38/mitsubishi2MQTT
Arduino sketch also uses the SwiCago/HeatPump
library, and works with MQTT directly. The author found it's WiFi stack to not
be particularly robust, but the controls worked fine. Like this ESPHome
repository, it will automatically register the device in your HomeAssistant
instance if you have HA configured to do so.
There's also the built-in to ESPHome
Mitsubishi
climate component.
The big drawback with the built-in component is that it uses Infrared Remote
commands to talk to the Heat Pump. By contrast, the approach used by this
repository and it's underlying HeatPump
library allows bi-directional
communication with the Mitsubishi system, and can detect when someone changes
the settings via an IR remote.
