Been thinking of installing a heat pump hot water service to disconnect gas from my house.

Has anyone found a unit that has local control - not cloud based, and integrates with HA either natively or through a HACS plugin?

All I can seem to find is cloud based options with sketchy apps.

    mitsubishi’s ac/heat pumps, that have a cn105 connector (the connector is on each indoor unit; it should also work for the water tank indoor unit) can be integrated with esphome, but you have to connect each indoor unit seperatly. If you run jysty cable from each indoor unit to a central point you can use 1 esp32 for 2 indoor units. From my experience it works very well, but i have my esp on wired ethernet.

    I don’t have the water heater indoor unit, so that’s part of my air indoor unit esphome config:

    logger:
      baud_rate: 0
    
    external_components:
      - source: github://echavet/MitsubishiCN105ESPHome
        refresh: 0s
    
    climate:
      - platform: cn105
        id: hvac_eg
        name: "HVAC EG"
    
        horizontal_vane_select:
          icon: 'mdi:arrow-left-right'
          name: EG Horizontal Vane
        vertical_vane_select:
          icon: 'mdi:arrow-up-down'
          name: EG Vertical Vane
    
        supports:

      I’m not familiar with esphome, could you please explain this a bit more? are indoor units hardware devices? how are you controlling the water heater with the config of the AC?
