Air Conditioner Device

Device Category: air_conditioner

The Air Conditioner device represents a cooling system with additional features for environmental monitoring and energy management.

Required Channels

These channels are mandatory for the functionality of the air conditioner:

Channel	Description	Multiple	Details
`cooler`	Controls devices that lower air or liquid temperatures, such as air conditioners or refrigeration systems.	No	See details
`fan`	Controls fan devices, including speed, oscillation, and modes for air circulation.	No	See details
`temperature`	Measures the current temperature in an environment, reported in degrees Celsius.	No	See details
`device_information`	Provides metadata about the device, including manufacturer details, model information, and operational statuses.	No	See details

These channels are optional and provide additional features:

Channel	Description	Multiple	Details
`electrical_energy`	Measures the total energy consumption over time, typically reported in kilowatt-hours (kWh).	No	See details
`electrical_power`	Reports real-time power metrics such as voltage, current, and wattage for monitoring and diagnostics.	No	See details
`heater`	Manages heating devices, allowing control of temperature settings and modes.	No	See details
`humidity`	Measures the relative humidity in the environment, reported as a percentage.	No	See details
`contact`	Tracks the open or closed state of a contact point, such as a door, window, or cabinet.	No	See details
`leak`	Identifies the presence of water or other liquids to detect leaks and prevent damage.	No	See details
`filter`	Monitors the filter status and remaining life, with option to reset after replacement.	No	See details

Cooling and Fan Control:
- Set a target temperature using the cooler and temperature channels. Adjust fan speed and direction via the fan channel.
Environmental Monitoring:
- Monitor room temperature and humidity for better climate control. Detect leaks using the leak channel to ensure safety.
Energy Management:
- Track power usage and energy consumption using the electrical_power and electrical_energy channels.

Implement all required channels for core air conditioning functionality.
Add optional channels based on the specific features of the device.
The device_information channel is mandatory for device identification.
Include electrical_energy and electrical_power for energy efficiency tracking.
Use the leak channel for enhanced safety in environments prone to water-related issues.
