panasonic-ac-models

A model capability database and lookup engine for Panasonic Smart Air Conditioners (Indian Market / MirAIe platform). Designed for Home Assistant custom integrations, companion libraries, and custom dashboard cards to dynamically determine supported AC features (HVAC modes, Nanoe ionizer, Converti presets).

Installation & Usage

Python Library (Backend / Home Assistant Integrations)

Install via pip:

pip install panasonic-ac-models

Query feature gating flags using the normalized lookup engine:

from panasonic_ac_models import ACModelLookup

lookup = ACModelLookup()

# Query capability dictionary for any indoor SKU (handles 'CS/CU-', casing, and spaces automatically)
caps = lookup.get_capabilities("CS/CU-EZ18BKYD")

print(f"Model Series: {caps['series']} (Gen {caps['generation']})")
print(f"Family Key:   {caps['family_key']}")

# -------------------------------------------------------------
# 1. Gate Wi-Fi / Smart Capability
# -------------------------------------------------------------
if caps["has_wifi"] == 1:
    print("-> Wi-Fi Smart AC: Expose MirAIe cloud & MQTT entities.")
else:
    print("-> Non-Smart unit: Local IR remote control only.")

# -------------------------------------------------------------
# 2. Gate HVAC Modes (Common: cool, dry, fan_only, auto, off; EZ/KZ add heat)
# -------------------------------------------------------------
common_hvac_modes = ["cool", "dry", "fan_only", "auto", "off"]

if caps["has_heat_mode"] == 1:
    hvac_modes = common_hvac_modes + ["heat"]  # EZ & KZ series dual heat pump
else:
    hvac_modes = common_hvac_modes           # Cooling-only unit

# -------------------------------------------------------------
# 3. Gate Nanoe Air Purification Switch
# -------------------------------------------------------------
if caps["has_nanoe"] == 1:
    show_nanoe_switch = True   # Expose Nanoe-G / Nanoe-X switch entity (HU & XU series only)
else:
    show_nanoe_switch = False  # Hide Nanoe switch entity

# -------------------------------------------------------------
# 4. Gate Converti Capacity Presets (7-in-1 / 8-in-1 / none)
# -------------------------------------------------------------
converti = caps["converti_type"]

if converti == "8-in-1":
    converti_presets = ["cv_110", "cv_100", "cv_90", "cv_80", "cv_70", "cv_60", "cv_50", "cv_40"]
elif converti == "7-in-1":
    converti_presets = ["cv_110", "cv_100", "cv_90", "cv_80", "cv_70", "cv_55", "cv_40"]
else:  # "none" -> Pre-2023 sensor auto-convertible or non-smart model: Hide converti presets
    converti_presets = []

Database Summary

• Models Tracked: 383 verified Wi-Fi models across 110 hardware families.
• Data Sources: Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) certified labels, Panasonic India catalogs, empirical MirAIe telemetry.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome! To add or correct a model:

1. Edit models.json.
2. Add the indoor SKU to the appropriate indoor_units array under families.
3. Submit a PR. Continuous Integration (check-jsonschema) will validate changes against schema.json.
