As best as I can tell, Sensibo and Cielo do not know the current state of your mini-splits.
If you have a schedule to set the units on/off and someone in your house inadvertently uses the remote to toggle the on/off state, all your subsequent schedule triggers will be off — for instance an “off” action you create in the Cielo app will turn ON a mini-split that’s already off, because it’s only a basic, binary toggle.
Obviously this is annoying, so I’ve been researching for controls that are smarter. I have no experience with Kumo but I think I’d switch if I knew it had this functionality. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I made my own, they work flawlessly! Full local control via home assistant, or if they aren’t connected to wifi they start broadcasting their own network allowing me to connect with a phone or computer and access a webpage.
My prototype vs the finished product.
