Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like:**

I want to compile ESPHome configuration on Wireless Tag WT32-ETH01 board with Ethernet connection enabled and I cannot because "Component climate.midea requires component wifi." Is it possible to allow the use of midea components without Wi-Fi only on an Ethernet connection?

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

Midea components work fine on these boards with Wi-Fi enabled (Wi-Fi component enabled).

**Additional context**

Please allow midea components to be installed without Wi-Fi components.

Yours sincerely

Research direction

Start with the climate.midea component and the dependency that currently requires wifi, then compare it with the Ethernet configuration for the Wireless Tag WT32-ETH01 board. The work is done when an ESPHome configuration using Midea over Ethernet compiles without enabling the Wi-Fi component, while existing Wi-Fi configurations continue to work.
