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

## Use cases
- control my Midea air conditioner from Home Assistant without the cloud
- discover Midea smart appliances on my local network automatically
- add sensors and switches for Midea washer or water heater in Home Assistant
- keep appliance status in sync in real time over LAN
- migrate from georgezhao2010/midea_ac_lan to the maintained fork
- control Midea dehumidifier, dishwasher, or refrigerator locally

## When to choose
- you use Home Assistant and own Midea or Midea-brand (Carrier, Toshiba, etc.) M-Smart appliances
- you want local LAN control with low latency and no cloud dependency
- you want extra sensors and switches beyond the official integration

## When to avoid
- you don't use Home Assistant
- you need to add brand-new devices after Midea fully shuts down the cloud token APIs
- you need official cloud-based control or remote access outside your LAN
