Yeah, I haven’t had time do this when I hsve 2 kids, full time job and house with garden to look after 
Would expect at least 99% uptime when I paid 12 500 USD for the heatpump…

Down again…??? O, man…
Yeah, well… people pay 100.000+USD for a mercedez, BMW … and they still don’t work “as a charm”…
But, i’m glad now that i went to esphome with all my climates. No such problems anymore

I guess you will have to disconnect the wifi module? So you will not get any firmware Updater from Mitsubishi?
Fortunatly I only integrate it to get the data. I have no use to control the pump as I have the room thermostat anyway. So its not relaly critical for me. Still annoying.
But yeah, the cloud service on our Kia sucks as well…

At the store right now to purchase everything! I have 45 units ……
That is correct. Although given Mitsubishi’s lack of interest on keeping a good cloud service, I’m not sure there has ever been any update…

I got one in january 2023 so its been a while for sure.
Still I guess you could just reconnect it once a year to see if there is an update. As far as I know you cannot do offline updates.
ooof don’t want to know what 45*melcloud adapters will cost. better try one of 2 units first if you like it, before doing them all
I think they only do the melcloud related updates right?
Not the heatpump firmwares. I’ve only seen those updated offline via the sdcard.

only bought one today >) to test everything
Good job,but i need create better control of thermostat.Thanks
Melcloud air-to-air heatpump updates go through the wifi adapter from mitsubishi, since they don’t have an sd-card slot. So that’s still applicable to those air-to-air users
This is what i needed.Thanks for today’s update climate entities.Goodbye melcloud…
it’s still a bit beta the climate controls
Thanks for the climate update, looking promising! I think we can make the flow/room climate unavailable when in the room/flow mode. Also I think we could use the water_heater integration for DHW. I think climate is interfering with number, my flow temp gets reset now. Is there a place to discuss this development? There are no PRs and we are definitely hijacking this thread now 
The standard climate controls are so-so, I probably need to write a custom climate component to take into account all the states, but a bit busy atm
Hi! I’d be really interested in having a 100% local setup.
That said:
- I have never worked with esp32 devices before
- I do have a MSZ-FT50VGK (indoor unit) / MUZFT50VGHZ (outdoor unit)
Any idea if that’d work with my unit? Thanks
I’m using https://github.com/SwiCago/HeatPump $3 per unit (have 3 units), since Jul 4, 2018. Local 100%
Vlad’s solution works nice.
I you don’t want to tinker with wires, programming, etc. and avoid the risk of damaging your airconditioner’s hardware you could check out this project: ClimaControl
Works plug-and-play, more features than SwiCago(external sensor, melcloud optionally works in parallel) and has several hardware protections that these cheap development boards don’t offer.

Just for info: external sensor is also possible (and works perfectly) in solutions from geoffdavis an echavet where SwiCago library is used.
And, to be honest, i don’t see what hardware protections i would apply to the circuit… worst it can happen is if esp chip dies, in which case constant 3.3V will appear on Tx/Rx pins. Nothing would be damaged on climate, though.
But, it’s a great solution for those who don’t do soldering and price is very reasonable (way cheaper than original Mitsubishi).
