Description
Good afternoon.
There is a problem that requires adding a new feature.
Is it possible to add to this integration:
climate:
- platform: whirlpool
Is it possible to determine the condition of the air conditioner using some kind of binary sensor?
The problem is that if the remote_receiver for some reason did not accept information from the IR remote control and the air conditioner turned on, then in the integration it will be displayed as turned off.

if for some reason Remote_receiver did not accept the command then


and if you click on the turn on/off button on the map then

Then the air conditioner turns off

And what happens when you integrate Home Assistant is that it turns on.

My configuration.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Whirlpool climate integration and the provided remote_receiver, remote_transmitter, and binary_sensor configuration. Determine whether received IR data can establish the air conditioner's actual state; done would be a documented or implemented binary sensor that reliably reflects that state after missed commands.
