[Feature Request] Add additional sensors from the SwiCago lib

[swannet]

Hi,

Is it possible to add sensors that are available in the SwiCago library but not yet in this esphome module? For example the "compressorFrequency" and the timer info of the unit?

I tried it here: master...tiltec:esphome-mitsubishiheatpump:master

It adds a new sensor that can read the compressor frequency. You can configure it like this:

climate:
  - platform: mitsubishi_heatpump
    id: hp
    compressor_frequency:
      name: "compressor frequency"
      id: compressor_frequency

Unfortunately, it doesn't return anything on my device (MSZ-HR50VF). But in theory, it should work.

I have a similar question. Can I get the device to report the 'current_temperature' value as a sensor. Something like this:

sensor:
  - platform: mitsubishi_heatpump
    current_temperature

You can create a card this way:

type: entity
entity: climate.esp32_hp_clim_sejour
attribute: current_temperature

or use a Jinja2 template:

{% set climate_entity = states.climate.esp32_hp_clim_sejour %}
{% if climate_entity %}
  <h1>Informations Climatiseur</h1>
  <p><strong>État :</strong> {{ climate_entity.state }}</p>
    <p><strong>Température cible :</strong> {{ climate_entity.attributes.temperature }}°C</p>
    <p><strong>Température actuelle :</strong> {{ climate_entity.attributes.current_temperature }}°C</p>
    {% if climate_entity.attributes.fan_mode %}
    <p><strong>Mode ventilateur :</strong> {{ climate_entity.attributes.fan_mode }}</p>
  {% endif %}
{% else %}
  <p>Entité climatiseur non trouvée.</p>
{% endif %}
