[Feature Request] Support for Direct LAN Serial Communication #97

Open bfranske opened 1 year ago

bfranske commented 1 year ago

I have replaced the Midea WiFi dongle with my own ESP8266 which acts as a serial bridge. I would like the midea-msmart software to support serial communication with the Midea unit without any of the stuff needed for the Midea dongle (no ID/key/token). Instead you only need to know the IP and port number to the serial bridge. This type of thing exists for node.js in https://github.com/reneklootwijk/node-mideahvac/ as the "serialbridge" communication method.

I would just opt for ESPHome's midea component

Also why create a duplicate of #84 ?
