Cloud-based version

There is also a cloud-based version of this integration at homeeasy_ha.

Main differences:

• Local integration directly connects to an HVAC unit so doesn't depend on the manufacturer's cloud infrastructure and internet connection.
• Local integration provides the ability to control vertical and horizontal airflow direction.

Security:

The manufacturer server provides unauthorized access to ANY connected HVAC unit, so anyone can read the current state and set any parameters.

It is a good idea to block access to IP 91.196.132.126 on your firewall.

This IP is part of the QR code from the user manual, but my HVAC actually ignores any IP I've provided over QR code and connects to 91.196.132.126 anyway. It is also possible to switch the original Home Easy App to this mode, but your phone has to be connected to the same network to control the unit. Just drop app data(reinstall application) and scan any QR with simple text.
