Thank you very much!
Pff mine is still bricked.
Not a good support from Daikin.
Only what i can do is order a new wifi module on a Dutch store.
Anyone else with no problems with 1.14.88
We have the confirmation from @SteffenDE but after the recent clusterfu** from Daikin I am sure everybody would like to see a couple of more confirmations that everything is working properly
Thank you guys. I read all the posts before triyng to update to 1_14_88. My aircon was always controlled by HASS and I have never used Onecta. So created account and the app wanted to update to 1_14_88. After all that reading I decided to update. Everything went smooth. No other updates needed to run ok. The app is working. The HASS is working. The old app is working too.
Upgrade to 1_14_88 went smooth here as well. Thanks for the confirmations above, was a bit worried but nothing to worry about.
I manage to get one of my units connected using the API
/common/reboot?mode=run
5 of the others still remain of-line I find it shocking that Daikin havent’t issued a fix even after several months. I’m starting to loose my faith in this company.
What is the recovery process in the app ? I see no such option and i’m running the latest BETA so either i’m going crazy or their updates are useless.
Just for curiosity, Onecta shows a message that some units require some counter measure?
so funny enough without changing anything all 6 units are back online (for now)
To all B41 users. I have units that need C81 controllers. After reading, it seems I can use A41 if I get the right wiring harness. At the same time, there is now a solution for local control of Cxx units, Faikin based on ESP32, but it means to Onectra. Is there any reason for me to use an A41 unit, does the Onectra app offer enough added functionality, of in my shoes wold you go for a HA solution like Faikin?
There certainly wouldn’t be the stress of Onectra updates ending local control… But probably replaced the stress than HA updates might break something.
Faikin is great. I haven’t tried any of the Daikin adapters to be able to compare. However, Faikin appears to expose everything available in the S21 protocol, so I’m not sure that there’s any added benefit to use a Daikin adapter. Easy setup, responsive dev. It’s a great little device.
Thanks for making me aware of that. It might be a bit of a hassle to get this shipped from the UK thanks to Brexit. But having a working solution will certainly be worth it. Otherwise this Onecta crap will probably give me an Ulcer with units going on-/offline randomly all the time. Since the firmware update there were probably only two days when all my 4 units were online at the same time.
Has anyone succeeded in using Demand Control with HA?
Onecta offers this feature, allowing you to limit energy consumption (slider from 40 to 100 percent, working more or less well).
Now in theory this could be used to have the Daikin unit(s) run according to how much power your own solar panels produce. But I haven’t seen where to configure this in HA or if it’s supported at all.
Did the WIFI module got bricked again by the new software??
I am running the Beta and my system has the 3_1_123 software. (BRP069B4X)
Running the app version 3.25.1 (iOS 17)
My Stylish 2 is offline and has been offline almost for 12h now.
Any ideas?
I see there’s a new update for Daikin Aircon Wifi Units BRP069B4x updating them to 1_14_88. Is this update safe? Will this remove local support for HA?
I also have the BRP069C4x which does NOT allow local control and Cloud-only control, and therefore cannot connect to Home Assistant. I’m hoping that the upgrade for BRP069B4x doesn’t remove this local option - so would appreciate any insights here
The ONECTA app alerts for a new update that’s available 3_1_123.
With all the hassle the 3_1_33 gave us I’m checking here first if people already did the upgrade and it didn’t brick the whole unit, again.
This one worked flawless for me. Updated three units from 3.1.33 to 3.1.123 in minutes. But i still have two units running 1.14.88. Looks like they forgot about people who did not brick all their units and then fixed their issue. Amateurs.
Btw i had the same issue. In my case the ipaddress had magically changed. I fixed this by removing the unit from onecta manually (some obscure menu had this option) and then adding it again from the main page. Any of their proposed fixes will not work as it will try to always use the old IP address for some odd reason. There stupidity never fails to amaze me.
Hi, I finally found a solution to the problem of the wifi no longer working.
I purchased the “SwitchBot Hub Mini Smart Remote” for just over 20 euros.
once the remote control has been configured with the device, simply position it in the direction of the split to be able to control it from the app.
just FYI, I have BRP069B41 version and I successfully upgraded from 1_14_84 to 1_14_88 using Onecta app for iOS, everything still works fine locally in home assistant (I am using official integration: Daikin AC - Home Assistant )
I just completed installing 7 Faikin adapters. I bit off a bit more than I could chew by making the wiring myself. I’d never used a crimper before, but got the hand of it by the end.
All flawlessly integrated with HA and no drop outs. They just work. A bit of latency but that may be due to my network setup or HA, it seems like latency grew as more units added.
Regarding power demand, I don’t see that feature but a screenshot in this thread does show demand settings, so maybe it is device specific and indeed supported. The dev is very reachable and I am sure he can answer any questions promptly over on GitHub.
