I wish there was something similar for ThinQ, as I prefer not to have Cloud-based smart devices, but alas, had to purchase some floor AC units during a heat wave.

If you're interested in home automation it looks like Home Assistant has an integration (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/lg_thinq/).

There is also a project for the esp32 which allows you to control it locally from Home assistant instead of the cloud based integration (https://github.com/JanM321/esphome-lg-controller)

I'm running HomeAssistant and I've tried the native integration, which works fine but is missing power consumption, or there's a HACS-based integration, that is a bit painful to set up, is able to see power consumption, but cannot enable sleep mode... So it's a bit of a hit and miss with either of those. Will take a look at the ESP variant, thank you.

Edit:

Looks like the ESP32 project is mostly tailored for hard-wired installations, but I just have a couple of floor units...
