AC Freedom is garbage why doesn't Rinnai use WPS? WPS has been around for over a decade, I can buy an ESP8266 chip for around four bucks online, where code snippets are available online for http, mqtt and WPS! Why does AC Freedom need access to storage and telephone?
The app wants to scan an activation QR code, but there is no information available of where to get one of these codes.
If you could provide the technical details I'll write an alternative app that's orders of magnitude better.

I found the QR code in the online PDF manual. But you can also type in 'RINNAI' (or was it lowercase 'rinnai'). Eitherway, I think all the QR code does is gets the Rinnai specific graphic and help file. Nothing special.
The app needs to provision the Broadlink smart wifi device that is in the aircon. I think the Android version of the app just doesn't complete that provisioning properly. An iPhone will, and once provisioned any android can talk to the aircon.
From what research I've already done, the Broadlink wifi smart device uses QUIC UDP protocol. There are resources online where it explains how to create messages to communicate with it across the network. There are python scripts, too. I haven't tried any of them to confirm their accuracy.
