At the moment Iām only able to replay and refresh accessToken (which is valid during 3600 seconds) via the refreshToken (valid 1 month) and use the apiKey and unitId to manage the unit. Iām just able to capture it by analyzing traffic between Residential App and AWS cloud.
The best would be that daikin would configure like others (netatmo) have done a way to configure api keys. Then one would be able to create a new Ā« app Ā» against cognito and then use it to authenticate, get jwt for access and refresh token.
A short term work-around where people would put their Ā« hardly Ā» got access token and refresh token.
It is ashame that refresh token are valid only one month, even on mobile app this will be troublesome.
I bought de BRP09B42 with the cable, the side of wifi controller fits, but the connector on the board inside the Daikin unit is different. So now we should know how the pinout must be of the wifi controller to the diakin unit mainboard. On the french forum I also donāt see the pinout somewhere?
I did de wifi module RRP069B32, upgrade to 1.2.54 and that was no issue. The app tells maybe to upgrade later in the future, but if I use the wifi module with hass, I donā't think about using the app from dakin. I donāt think the module itself checks for updates without the app.
I would not have any objections to connect to Daikin cloud directly. Same as it is working for Xiaomi Miio - Home Assistant integrations. Seems like more cleaner approach, then installing legacy WiFi adapter to units, which already have a WiFi with daikin cloud.
By the way Google home has direct integration to Daikin residential app. Also from references to external sites from above posts I can see that connection to cloud is already being reverse engineered
So fingers crossed, that in future this will be implemented to home assistant.
What I hate these new WiFi integrated units (I have two of them) is that stupid WiFi ssid broadcasting. Hate them for that.
I have one āstandingā daikin unit FVXM35F, which does not have integrated Wifi. It has BRP069B41 wifi adapter installed and is connected to my home assistant instance. But Daikin residential app cannot add it to daikin cloud with this error:
Device cannot be added This device can not be added because the region of your device is not supported. Please contact your Installer for further assistance.
Region: EU.
Strange Daikin position, as nobody answers to my support requests
Just got new airconditioning installed a week ago and very unhappy that Iām now locked into the cloud system.
I just donāt understand this move from Daikin, other than data snooping. All the server costs will be massive for them and I surely hope they donāt consider going to subscription based models after a while.
For now what I find is that the responsiveness of their cloud system is pretty shit. Often times the shut down command doesnāt get through and you have to do it 2 or 3 times. Same with the settings, once you activated the device through your app and you change something with the remote, the unit will just shut down.
So the units themselves are great, but man Iām disappointed about this cloud bullshit.
For pricing reasons, I think @Malento that indeed this is a very smart move from daikin point of view, since here the cloud will be costing very few per engine.
There are two things from my point of view:
1/ even with the cloud interface, this would have been totally possible to allow local control on a local api
2/ all other providers with cloud based experience) (netatmo, somfy, ā¦) allow people to create their own api secrets to permit custom integrations. Itās a shame that Daikin is not proposing this.
Thatās kind of a dick statement to make and pretty ignorant to how the world works.
Weāre talking about airconditioning units which main function is cooling a home. All the smart home functions are a byproduct.
And you might think youāre safe with your chosen interface, but if Daikin decides to stop support or move it to cloud only as well, youāll be in the same boat. I hope you can rock on without issues, but calling people uninformed with these kind of situations shows little empathy.
Iāll be fine as once in and operational I am in charge of any (unlikely imo) firmware updates that could potentially disable local control.
Not the way I do things. If it does not work how I want with my home automation I donāt buy it. If you and others did the same and supported manufacturers that offer a local interface weād see more support for this.
Bad news everyone. A new version of the Daikin Residential Controller app was just released and it is offering firmware update 3.9.8 for the old controllers (Iām on 3.8.8).
Meaning they are probably removing or breaking local control even for the existing modelsā¦ and forcing everyone to the cloud.
I have an order open for an extra airconditioner (Stylish model) and if it canāt be controlled locally as I read here I will cancel the order. Lines in the sand have been drawn.
After updating my units to 1_14_18 I indeed lost connectivity to Daikin Online Controller, but the local API is still available.
I donāt know if the API is effectively broken on 1_14_28, which is the latest version.
