BroadlinkAC2MQTT

Control your broadlink-based air conditioner using Home Assistant

Advantages

• Small application size (~10.2 Mb docker, ~8.2 Mb Windows Standalone)
• Easy to install and use
• Support all platforms
• Parallel independent air conditioning support. If one air conditioner is offline, it will not affect the rest!

You must specify the mqtt and air conditioner settings in the config.yml or config.json (less priority) file in the config folder.
