ESPHome custom component/firmware for ESP32/ESP8266 that lets a microcontroller talk to Mitsubishi heat pumps and air conditioners over the CN105 UART connector. It integrates the reverse-engineered SwiCago HeatPump protocol directly into ESPHome, enabling local control via Home Assistant, a built-in web interface, or MQTT.

Use cases

  • control a Mitsubishi heat pump locally without the vendor cloud
  • integrate a Mitsubishi mini-split with Home Assistant over WiFi
  • set temperature setpoints and vane direction on a CN105-equipped unit
  • use a remote temperature sensor for more accurate thermostat control
  • monitor compressor frequency and unit status via MQTT
  • replace the official Mitsubishi WiFi adapter with a self-hosted option

When to choose

  • you own a Mitsubishi heat pump/AC with a CN105 port and want fully local, cloud-free control
  • you already use Home Assistant or ESPHome and want a native climate entity
  • you want finer control and remote-temperature features for comfort or energy efficiency
  • you're comfortable flashing firmware and doing basic soldering/wiring

When to avoid

  • you want an officially supported, plug-and-play WiFi solution (use Mitsubishi's commercial adapter)
  • your unit lacks a CN105 connector or doesn't support the reverse-engineered protocol features
  • you can't or don't want to open the indoor unit and wire an ESP board
  • you need guaranteed vendor support or warranty-safe modification
