Add support for /aircon/get_model_info API endpoint about esp32-faikin HOT 6 CLOSED

Amazingly fast turn-around!
My local Faikin is now returning ret=OK,model=0000 already 😀

So you have any idea where the model comes from.

If you have MQTT can you set debug. If I can find what S21 message has the model we can send that.

Yeah, I have no idea where the model number is supposed to come from. I have tried debugging the S21 protocol over MQTT, but I don't know enough about what each of the fields refer to to try and pick out something that might be a model number.

Given that it seems to be being used to check that there is a Daikin aircon system alive and well, how do you feel about returning this for now?

ret=OK,model=0000

And then it could be improved, if someone works out where the data could come from?

from esp32-faikin.

Could do. Bear in mind the S21 stuff is often backwards, so a model of 1358 may be 8531 in a message.

from esp32-faikin.

OK, I have added that. If we find the actual model somehow, that would be great, and happy to update.

And now confirmed that the homebridge-daikin-local plugin loads and basic functions work 🎉

Will do some more testing to see other functions work correctly.
