Hey, i am about to get a new AC installed, and i wanted to hook it into Home Assistant... but i HATE relying on external parties to be able to do anything with my devices in the home.

Do you think it is possible for this to work without actually going to AWS/Seeley?

Also, do you think it would be possible for this to be integrated into Home Assistant (python based) or Node-Red (Node.JS)

Thanks for your work on this, it is way outside my capabilites

The Seeley / MagiqTouch WiFi module has no way of being controlled directly (as far as I can tell) and must go via AWS. I did initially look at creating an interface directly to replace the controller as it seems to usea RS485 with Modbus but requires alot more work to emulate the controller - the error codes and handling them would be difficult.

I haven't done any python or node.js work but would say so. I only really uploaded this to show what web/mqtt requests the mobile app makes for anyone else that wan't to replicate it.
