Hello,

is it also possible to publish the sensor data to mqtt? i would like to use the dashboard from the panasonic heisamon

not al the functions should work but a lot of them we can also control and read with the midea modbus connection to get an idee what topics are used for the panasonic you can take a look at

It is possible to publish states to MQTT, see https://esphome.io/components/mqtt.html#mqtt-publish-json-action

But be aware that this will result in extra load, especially if you are going to publish a lot of states. If I understand the question correctly, you would like to have that dashboard, in that case it is much easier to create that (almost the same) dashboard in Home Assistant.

Having a nice dashboard is still on my wishlist, so if you create something nice, I would love to adopt it in this project.
