ESPHome Configuration

Configuration Reference​

The mUART component extends the ESPHome Climate entity, so all settings available in that are also available here.

update_interval​

The update_interval key controls how often the component will request status updates from the heat pump. As the communication is slow, it's recommended to keep this at no less than 5 seconds. Setting this value too high may prevent ESPHome or Home Assistant from displaying updates performed via remote or thermostat in a timely manner.

climate:
  - platform: mitsubishi_itp
    name: "Climate"
    uart_heatpump: hp_uart
    # ...
    update_interval: 10s

uart_thermostat​

This key takes an ID of a UART component hosting a MHK2 thermoststat. See the documentation page on adding a Mitsubishi thermostat for extra information.

supported_modes​

This key takes an array of supported operating modes. This can be used to hide certain modes (e.g. Dry) that a given unit may not support. Leave this key un-set to use the default modes. Adding new modes will not have any effect, as the code is not aware of them.

climate:
  - platform: mitsubishi_itp
    # ...
    supported_modes:
      - 'OFF'
      - HEAT
      - DRY
      - COOL
      - FAN_ONLY
      - HEAT_COOL

supported_fan_modes and custom_fan_modes​

These keys allow removing fan modes not supported by the unit. Leave this key un-set to use the default modes. Adding new modes will not have any effect, as the code is not aware of them.

climate:
  - platform: mitsubishi_itp
    # ...
    supported_fan_modes:
      - AUTO
      - QUIET
      - LOW
      - MEDIUM
      - HIGH
    custom_fan_modes:
      - VERYHIGH

The custom_fan_modes key is used to include the VERYHIGH (otherwise known as Powerful) state, which is not natively supported by ESPHome or Home Assistant.

Sub-components (like sensors) need to be explictly added to the configuration. Additional information is available on the Sub-Components documentation page.
