Mitsubishi Air Conditioner with Wi‑Fi using MHI‑AC‑Ctrl, ESPHome and Home Assistant

Mitsubishi airco voorzien van wifi verbinding

Last summer, I moved to a new house where air conditioners had already been installed. They are Mitsubishi Heavy Industries units, controlled via an infrared remote. Naturally, I wanted to control these air conditioners using Home Assistant over WiFi. During my search, I came across the MHI-AC-Ctrl project. Nodo-Shop turned out to sell complete kits, and there is also an ESPHome version of the MHI-AC-Ctrl project. Great! I ordered a kit for each air conditioner and got to work.

Zendure Home Battery integration

Even before it became clear what the new feed-in tariffs would be after the abolition of the net metering scheme, I was already exploring home batteries. Initially, I mainly looked at the large fixed models such as the Sessy or Tesla Powerwall. But soon I became enthusiastic about another type: modular plug-in home batteries.

The big advantage? You can start small and expand your installation step by step. No hassle with installers or major adjustments to your meter box. Just plug & play. Exactly what I was looking for.
