• If you disconnect an AC and reconnect it to wifi, it will automatically bind to it no manual action is required
• Fan speeds for 3 Speed units and 5 Speed units

• In version 1.1.1 i improved the response time and speed.
• In version 1.1.1 when a status changes, now it updates all the services.

DHT Service

In order to can get the humidity and temperature, you need a separate service to get that info (ONLY FOR RPi)

const sensor = require('node-dht-sensor');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.get('/', (_, res) => {
  sensor.read(11, 17, function (err, temperature, humidity) {
    if (!err) {
      res.status(200).json({
        temperature,
        humidity
      });
    } else {
      res.status(500).json({
        error: err.message,
        code: err.code ?? 500
      });
    }
  });
});

app.listen(55555, 'localhost', () => {
  console.log('Service Started');
});
