Read the outdoor machine like a service engineer

The integration now polls each outdoor unit's cycle-monitoring data and turns the raw refrigerant readings into an actionable health status.

New "Outdoor unit" device per condensing unit:

  • Telemetry sensors: outside / discharge / inverter (IPM) temperature, high & low pressure (bar), compressor current, frequency and run-hours.
  • Derived engineer's metrics: condensing & evaporating temperature, condenser approach (a dirty-coil / cleaning indicator) and suction superheat.
  • Health status sensor — OK / Warning / Alert — that flags a dirty condenser coil, high discharge temperature, inverter overheating, likely low charge, or a communication fault, with a plain-language issues list you can show on a dashboard.
  • Compressor-running, communication-error and maintenance-required binary sensors.

Per-unit warnings you can automate on

Every indoor/EHS/ERV unit now has Fault and Filter binary sensors (problem device class). Point a Home Assistant automation at them to get a notification when a unit errors or when its filter-cleaning alarm trips.

All thresholds are conservative and advisory — this highlights "worth looking at", not a replacement for a technician with gauges. R410A (DVM S/Plus). Verified against live site data.
