Hi, Sorry if this is wrong place to ask. I have below AC. I don't see any USB A inside the unit and can't find any information about this has any support or not. Looking at the IR board, it mentions wifi, but no connections I can physically see. So it could just be a generic board without it.

Is the connection on this IR board any useful? There is 5V & gnd so just thinking if there is anyway to piggy back on this lines? I have couple of esp32-c3 which I can try getting this working would be great. I have 2 of this units and 3 of mitsubishi(wifi enabled & connected to HA). Have been searching something to get this in HA so that I can finish my automation for all climate control.

IR board AC Info

Thanks.

That connector appears to be only for the IR receiver. The WiFi connector is different (a UART port with RX and TX), this component will not work.

I don't know if there would be any way to emulate the IR using an ESP32.

The only easy way I can think of is to use the SmartIR integration with some Broadlink or similar.

Thanks. I was almost certain about that. Was hoping there was something else by long shot. I am already using broadlink for it, but it doesn't provide status so automation are bit hard.

So I am assuming this model is missing something which can't be added right?

Without protocol I can't do anything :(

I have most of the commands for IR but that's not much help though as it still won't interact with the system properly and provide the feedback.

Thanks for your help.
