MQTT HVAC topic for retrieving current configuration

Hello. I’m using an ESP8266 connected via mqtt to the home assistant.

I’ve configured the topics and everything is working well, the problem is that my HVAC (standard Daikin) every time you send an order sends the full remote control configuration (temperature, mode, swing…). This is fine until I have a power lost, then my ESP8266 doesn’t know if my HVAC is in cool or heat mode, so I enter to the Home Assistant and set the temperature to 23 but my ESP8266 doesn’t know if the instruction must be sent in heat or cool, or the fan speed, etc… I manually must re-send (changing the values in the UI) every time I have a power lost in my house.

Exists any way for sending all the topics at the same time, or to serialize in json and send all the current configuration values to an specific topic?

Thanks!

Do you have

retain: true

set in whatever mqtt component you’re using to switch from Home Assistant ?

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for!

Hi,
Do you mind sharing your climate yaml setting for MQTT HVAC using standard Daikin AirCon? Thanks…
