HomeKit Split - Mini HVAC AC/Heat Brands that work with HomeKit?

[whyrichard]

Hello,

I am about to pull the trigger on an expensive "Split Mini" AC unit for my house. The brands I am looking at are:

Fujitsu
Daikin
Mitsubishi

It is very difficult to tell, but which brand has the best HomeKit (or any HomeKit) integration?

Thanks,
Richard

You may want to consider buying the unit you actually want, versus buying for homekit support.

Then use something like a Sensibo to control the unit in Homekit.

would sensible allow the split mini ac to be seen in the home app? Or would I need to use the sensibo app ?

Yep, once you get it added to Homekit you get (limited) native control.
