I have a Mitsubishi mini-split system. Their online solution was $300 per unit and was locked behind a closed app. https://chrdavis.github.io/hacking-a-mitsubishi-heat-pump-Part-1/ Then I found this blog. This guy reversed engineer the serial protocol on the AC units. With about $30 in parts and a afternoon I had all my units online, locally accessible and fully integrated into HA. Its been running for 5 year and have had no issues.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
