Dear @SebastianOsinski,

First of all, thank you for the work with the plugin.

I have installed the plugin 3.1.0 version and it's working fine on my AC (AR09HSFSBWKNZE). I have attached my screenshot, where you can see what functions are availabe to me.

Can you please share me, where could i setting the swing mode, wind level? I can set the AC to AUTO, HEAT, COOL, but I don't see the DRY and WIND mode.

Maybe I made a mistake during the plugin installation?

I would like to ask it will be available

Best regards, Joseph

hi @csokolyj!

Only feature which are directly supported by HomeKit can be exposed. There is no DRY or WIND setting equivalent in HomeKit AC accessory specification, only Heat, Cool and Auto.. Technically I could mimic all those features by exposing them as switches, but it would be separate from the AC itself, so UX wouldn't be good.

Regarding swing mode and wind speed, They are available in accessory's settings through Apple's Home app as Oscillate and Fan speed. image If there is no UI for it in Homebridge UI, then this is something which needs to be implemented there.

Hi @SebastianOsinski,

Thank you for your quick answer. I only have Android device. So my solution is the Home Assistant, wich can use your Homebrige plugin. It is working well with all functions.
