What you'll do
A short-cycle detector that Claude Code built — a non-invasive current clamp (fitted by a licensed pro) and an outdoor temperature probe feeding an ESP32, with a Python analyzer that turns raw amperage into a per-cycle ledger, learns your unit's own healthy run-and-rest rhythm at each outdoor temperature, and pushes an early warning when the runs shorten while the rests stay pinned at the thermostat's lockout floor — the specific pattern that separates a failing compressor circuit from a merely comfortable evening.
