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?
You’ll have to get the official Mitsubishi module
This. Kumo works great. But fair warning, if you change anything using the app, that data won’t get sent back to the remote control. So if somebody set the temperature to 70 on the remote control, and you use the app to set it to 65, the remote control will still say it set to 70°, even though it is actually set to 65.
