Display toggle

[Orneeman]

Hi,
I've been testing the -midea_ac-2022.1.2.bin binary on my AC unit, and it seems like the display toggling off feature isn't functioning when controlled via UART. All other features are working seamlessly.

Would appreciate some insights or guidance on this.

Many air conditioners do not support display toggling via UART as mentioned https://esphome.io/components/climate/midea.html#midea-ac-display-toggle-action

My air conditioners do not :(

You may add the following code to midea_ac.yaml and rebuild the firmware yourself

button:
  - platform: template
    name: ${friendly_node_name} Display Toggle
    icon: mdi:theme-light-dark
    on_press:
      midea_ac.display_toggle:

yes I added but it doesn't work,
and I am pretty sure I have this feature , because the OEM AC app can do it,

I am having the same issue. Do you by any chance have any update on this?

Not all air conditioners support this via UART details can be checked with the developer of the component https://github.com/dudanov/MideaUART
