Midea Air Conditioner ===================== .. seo:: :description: Instructions for setting up a Midea climate device :image: air-conditioner.svg The ``midea`` component creates a Midea air conditioner climate device. .. note:: This protocol also used by some vendors: - `Electrolux `_ - `Qlima `_ - `Artel `_ - `Carrier `_ - `Comfee `_ - `Inventor `_ - `Senville `_ - and maybe others Control is possible with a custom dongle.
