InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
For example, my AC has four fan modes (low/med/high/auto), three operation modes (cool/heat/dry) and temperature range from 18 to 30 degrees. So, I had to record every combination of these three parameters (that means 4x3x13 commands + OFF command). See here.
Another option that might be available in your country is the Logitech Harmony Hub. Harmony integrates directly with Home Assistant and you can use the Harmony Climate Component to configure the AC unit so it shows up as a thermostat in Home Assistant.
