Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Rheeme Econet devices do this. They have an app to control them, but there's also a diagnostic port that exposes everything in the app and a lot more. There's an esp32 project that connects to the port and brings all of that into Home Assistant, no app or wifi needed.

Thats awesome, will keep that in mind for the next upgrade.

While we are shouting out cool projects, for Mitsubishi electric aircon: https://github.com/echavet/MitsubishiCN105ESPHome

There is also one for daiken, but I haven't directly tried it.
