I am reading, reading, trying, reading etc for more then a week. Sadly I do not get to run MHI-AC-CTRL in HA.
I installed HACS and ESPhome. I flashed my ESP8266 module with a bin-file.
I can connect to the wifi of the ESP8266 and change the wifi to my home wifi.
But whats next? I can not explain what I did in HA yet due to multipl things. I even reinstalled HA multiple times but no luck to have my MHI airco in the dashboard of HA.
Do I have to install some software to my ESP8266 module besides the ESP8266-bin file?
I am totally lost. It looks like there are sometimes missing some instructions in the tutorials. Like in the Github help; “Install the files in the ESPhome folder and flash…” How to get there?? And how to flash?
This is an esphome custom component
The YAML inside the repo contains a sample ESPHome project.
That project will create some entities inside HA once you will have added the ESP8266 as an ESPHome device inside HA.
If you don’t understand the sentences above, you might have a bit of learning to do…
