Hitachi Yutaki Integration for Home Assistant

This custom integration allows you to control and monitor your Hitachi Yutaki heat pump through Home Assistant using a Modbus ATW-MBS-02 gateway.

⚠️ Beta Version - Under Development
This integration is currently in active development and should be considered experimental. While it is functional, you may encounter bugs or incomplete features. Use at your own risk and please report any issues you find.

Currently tested only with Yutaki S80 model. Testing with other models is in progress.

Compatibility

• Compatible Models: 2016 and newer Hitachi Yutaki heat pumps
• Tested With: Yutaki S80
• Required Hardware: ATW-MBS-02 Modbus gateway

Important: Models manufactured before 2016 use different Modbus registers and are not compatible.
