## What it is
A Home Assistant custom integration that auto-discovers and controls Midea M-Smart appliances (air conditioners, washers, water heaters, fans, and more) over the local area network. It provides config-flow-based setup, extra sensors and switches, and real-time status synchronization via long TCP connections without cloud dependency.

## Use cases
- control my Midea air conditioner from Home Assistant without the cloud
- discover and configure Midea smart appliances on my LAN
- add sensors and switches for my Midea washer and water heater
- integrate Toshiba, Carrier, or Electrolux Midea-made appliances into Home Assistant
- synchronize appliance status in real time over a local TCP connection
- control my dehumidifier or air purifier locally
- set up Midea devices via Home Assistant config flow UI

## When to choose
- you use Home Assistant 2022.5+ and own Midea M-Smart or rebranded appliances
- you want local LAN control instead of relying on Midea's cloud
- you need extra sensors and switches beyond basic on/off control
- you want automated device discovery with minimal manual configuration

## When to avoid
- you don't use Home Assistant and need a standalone control library or app
- your appliance is not a Midea M-Smart compatible device
- you require official vendor cloud features like remote access outside your network
- you need support for a Home Assistant version older than 2022.5
