    :description: Instructions for setting up a Midea climate device
    :image: air-conditioner.png

The ``midea_ac`` component creates a Midea air conditioner climate device.

This component requires a auto-loaded ``midea-dongle`` component, that use hardware UART.

.. note::

    This protocol also used by some vendors:

        - `Electrolux <https://www.electrolux.ru/>`_
        - `Qlima <https://www.qlima.com/>`_
        - `Artel <https://www.artelgroup.com/>`_
        - `Carrier <https://www.carrier.com/>`_
        - `Comfee <http://www.comfee-russia.ru/>`_
        - `Inventor <https://www.inventorairconditioner.com/>`_
        - and maybe others

    Example of hardware implementation is `Midea Open Dongle <https://github.com/dudanov/midea-open-dongle>`_ in free `KiCad <https://kicad-pcb.org>`_ format.

Configuration variables of midea-dongle component:
**************************************************

- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- **uart_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :doc:`../uart` if you want
  to use multiple UART buses.
- **strength_icon** (*Optional*, boolean): Set if your device have signal strength icon
  and you want to use this feature. By default, on connected state, icon show maximum signal quality. Defaults to ``False``.
