Hi @jasongill, Right now, I'm working on a new architecture for the component. The goal is to clean up the existing code and make it easier to maintain. I'm not sure yet when I'll be finished, as I have limited bandwidth for this task. Are you using your fork for your devices? If so, I’ll put your changes on hold until I finish mine. |

No problem at all, let me know if I can help with the refactor - and yes, I am using a fork for my devices (anyone else is welcome to use it if they want to be able to chart actual fan speeds) |

This is a simple modification that reports the actual fan speed of the indoor unit to ESPhome/Home Assistant. I found that the code in aux_ac.h already was reading the real fan speed of the unit, but that was not exposed as a sensor to ESPhome.
This is most useful if you have your minisplit set in "auto" fan speed mode, to be able to determine if the fan is actually running and at what speed.
To allow the value to be plotted on a graph, I have scaled the available values (OFF, MUTE, LOW, MID, HIGH, and TURBO) to percentages, but you can customize those percentages in the ESPhome YAML. Additionally, if MUTE or TURBO are not enabled, those are not included in the scaling.
