I've picked up a batch of mitsubishi AC that have cn105 sockets. I'm planning to use it to add a wifi adapter and according to Google some of the official models support echonet lite, which would allow me to control them from home assistant.
is there a list of which models do or don't play nicely with echonet on home assistant, or anything else that might help me to pick one out, or tell me what to avoid?
I'm not quite ready to go the esp route, maybe as a future upgrade.
Have a look at the list here:
is there any feedback available on how they rank against each other, or which offer the best compatibility out of the box?
or is there no real difference from a home assistant perspective so long as its compatible with the ac
How many echonet wifi adapters you find available at the moment that are compatible with your specific model?
half of the ones on the list, It was a big batch so I can pick and choose.
Get some ClimateControl modules and plug into the CN105.
Then you can directly control the AC’s with Home Assistant and not be dependent on the cloud of Mitsubishi.

The Mitsubishi wifi modules that support echonet lite can be controlled directly from Home assistant, but also allow control through the Mitsubishi ecosystem.
Best of both worlds. Plus I get a big discount on the Mitsubishi. So they’re the cheaper option.
