@vperas it works.
I ended up putting the 5V from the CN105 into a AMS1117 LDO board to step voltage down to 3.3V; then I powered my ESP32 straight via the 3V3 pin. I also used a logic level shifter so the esp never sees any voltages over 3.3v.

Here is another view from "above":
Power off the AC (switch off the breaker or unplug the unit) before connecting the ESP to CN105
ESP PIN28 (Tx) to CN105 PIN5 (Rx)
ESP PIN27 (Rx) to CN105 PIN4 (Tx)
ESP PIN15 (5V) to CN105 PIN3 (5V)
ESP PIN14 (GND) to CN105 PIN2 (GND)
PIN1 on CN105 is 12V and you don't connect a wire to it, just leave it blank
After you finish, power up the unit and connect to the ESP over WiFi and click on the "status" button.
If everything went well you will see this:

@vperas thanks a million for the comment. I'm just waiting on my bi-di logic level converter to reduce 5v to 3v for the ESP as this is for a ducted unit and the air handler is in the ceiling - I don't want to take any chances with this. I have read conflicting reports about whether or not the ESP32 can handle 5V on the signalling pins!
I will report back once I succeed (or fail).

No problem :)
I run 3 x wemos D1mini on my units (I think those ESP8266 are also 3.3V TTL) directly connected to CN105 for more than a year now, all working good. But I get your point; better safe than sorry.

What tail are you using? I just went to hook mine up and the tail I got doesn't fit the cn105 red connector.

I’ve got this one, I’ve not yet hooked up the unit but based on photos of the circuit board, I believe it is correct.
You want the “5p” variant. Then, once you get it you’ll want to use a sharp implement (a needle or similar) to take out all the wires so that the red one goes to 5V, black goes to GND, and I guess whatever colours you use for RX/TX do not matter too much. If you get those the wrong way around it’s just not gonna work, but if you get 5V/Ground mixed up there’s a good chance you’ll roast your ESP board.

Or in my case, it looks like I got the plug wiring backwards on the tail and put 12V on RX - thankfully these boards are cheap and I have spares. I ordered the tails specified above. The D1 Mini is toast. Will do the wireing correct tonight and then triple check.

You might also consider a Line level reducer. And a 3v3 step down regulator (I use AMS 1117)
Apparently you’re not supposed to run any ESP on 5 volts to the pins, or GPIO but this is what the aircon provides.
In the past I’ve run all sorts if ESPs over 5 volts, some for years on end and not had any issues but most of them were just for things like lighting etc.
I don’t mind if those blowout, I can easily get to them. But this one is going to be in my ceiling on the air handler (ducted system) so I’m motivated to do it properly!

Great news, glad you made it work! :)
