Had a constructive call with Haier Europe today. We will reduce polling in the custom integration to reduce their server load and they will help us migrate to a push-based API which solves their server load and makes the Home Assistant integration blazing fast. Hope to announce more soon.
@balloob That sounds like a huge steps forward and really shows the value of a loud community!
They haven't talked about a local api though, have they? :D
@lenni They did. They are looking into Matter for future devices!
@balloob
Great progress
+1 for a local API (which would reduce their Aws server load to zero )

@balloob This is the perfect example of the types of talks that need to happen in the smart devices space so we all work together without hurting each other. Love it!
