Description

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

Communicate with the outside unit of hvac split systems. Most manufacturers do it over one line. It would enable you to connect your hvac to a water-heat exchanger and integrate it into your water based heating system. You would need 3 things. 1. water pump for the heatercycle 2. heatexchanger to connect hvac and heating pipes 3. sensors 4. 1-2 valves and a controller which is able to talk to the outside unit over the control line. It's only one line, how hard could it be.

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

First establish the outside-unit control protocol and the required hardware and safety behavior; done would require a defined integration scope and a way to validate communication with the HVAC system.
