Mitsubishi mini-splits: which WiFi smart controller can see or “know” when units are on or off? Cielo doesn’t seem to, and the on-off toggle fails. in c/homeautomation@selfhosted.forum

But I’ve found that the Cielo app doesn’t even remember the state of a manual app trigger.

12p - schedule on 6p - schedule off

If you turn OFF the unit via the Cielo app at 3p because you’re heading out early to dinner, the units will still turn on at 6p. Fail.

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?
