- ESP32-Faikin: ESP32 based module to control Daikin aircon units
As a more general approach for making any air conditioner "smarter", there is a SmartIR integration [1] for Home Assistant. It requires an IR blaster and a configuration file that defines IR code sequences for every possible AC state (temperature + fan speed + swing + etc) that you might want to use. Many models are already configured or you can try a few models from the same manufacturer and sometimes the codes are similar enough that you'll find one that works.
Once it's set up you get a nice climate control in Home Assistant, the only drawback is that the state displayed in HA will go out of sync if you use the physical remote.

- Intesis home / Ac cloud alternative for Panasonic AC?
- IR-Controlling New Air Conditioner in Server Room
- CAN A MITSUBISHI AIR-CONDITIONIER BE ADDED TO HOMEKIT?
SmartIR has a lot of mistubishi codes listed. If you go with a Broadlink RM4 Pro S or Mini S (S for including the temp sensor) you may be able to use it like a thermostat via IR commands, but in the worst case, should it be unsupported, you can still do the manual learning process for each of your remote’s buttons for some manual control with no UI feedback, then make some crude automations coupled with the temp sensor readings.

- Broadlink RF Controlled Fan
Do you use Home Assistant? If so, take a look at SmartIR, which will create a series of switches for the various speeds.
- Struggles with Broadlink RM4 Pro and Samsung TV
This is a shot in the dark, but there's a HA component called SmartIR, which has codes for various TVs. Here's one that references dedicated HDMI inputs, maybe they'll work
