Works on my MrCool unit which has zero HA access and a janky app. Was hoping to have more options in the system – looking forward to using this with HA!

Have one of these in a Pioneer mini-split system. Works great with Home Assistant. I bought my Pioneer unit without the Midea module so I could use this one instead. Note, for Pioneer units the USB port has keyways that need to be modified to accept the CloudFree dongle. I bought a second and hope I can get it to work with a Midea window unit I have.
