Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like
I would like to add support for turning the Midea AC display on and off via UART in the climate.midea component. My AC supports this feature using the Midea USB dongle, and midea-ac-py can successfully toggle the display using UART commands. However, ESPHome does not currently expose this capability.
Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:
My use case is to turn off the display panel of the indoor unit to reduce light pollution at night. I have confirmed that the AC supports this via UART using midea-ac-py, but ESPHome does not provide this function yet. Alternatives like IR are not ideal because I am using the Midea USB dongle for full control.
Additional context
Midea mini split with original Midea USB dongle
Display on/off confirmed working over UART using midea-ac-py
ESPHome climate.midea does not support sending display commands yet
It would be great to expose display_on and display_off in ESPHome for consistency.
Thanks for your work!
