Unfortantly thats not the model I have and it doesnt list the model number on the sticker which makes it much harder to point you somewhere.
As the main component’s developer @fredrike may recognise the model and give some guidance.
Although I’m not sure why my Home Assistant says Daikin AC and yours just says Daikin. This may just be a translation difference but just to make sure are you running the latest version of Home Assistant (0.112.0)?
Hey Guys. I finally moved to 0.113.2 and removed the old custom component and added both my units via the integration. I have 2x BRP072C42 wi-fi modules. The integration instructions say you need both the API Key and password and it threw me off. The instructions should say “KEY” is required and leave password blank as I found out from @flatstrap . After that everything went smoothly. Also bummer my more expensive US7 model doesn’t show power comsumption stats but my cheaper CORA model does. Any who keep up the great work @fredrike this is still a awesome addition to home assistant.
Hi there, I have two new Daicin AC´s. Each equipped with a wifi-module BRP069B45 - which is in fact an updated BRP069B41 - with the latest firmware. I can access them via my iPhone and the Daicin App. This works fine. But I fail to connect hassio (114) with the two aircon´s. In the integration page I do have two entries and there the IP´s are shown correct. When I enter the 13 digit Key in the Authentification field I do get an “unexcepted error” immediately. Looks like something is missing. When I enter the key as well in the password field. It takes a few seconds until I do get the same message.
Any idea what I can do?
I think this development has caused the older models to stop working.
I have the european model brp069b41 which worked fine before, but does not anymore.
Basically it seems to be trying to connect to port 443 of the device while older models connect to the device via port 80 I think.
Error goes in the line of what @moorey81 seems to be saying.
Cannot connect to host 192.168.1.20:443 ssl:False
It seems to also be using a “daikin_brp072c.py” file which I suppose is not correct.
Yes, this looks to be exactly the same problem I have.
In your case the system seems to be calling also this “daikin_brp072c.py” file which probably is not the correct one to use.
Now that I had a bit of time I have downloaded 0.113.1 and changed the “daikin” component to a custom component named “daikin_old” and changed the few things that needed to be changed to make it work.
I have my AC’s working again now running the last version of HA.
Not sure how to proceed…
Suppose I’ll wait to see if this gets addressed. If you @moorey81 or someone else needs me to test new code with these older Daikin units just contact me.
If you @Haw3000 want me to send me the custom component, just contact me, too.
Thank you for the feedback. After doing some tests with the proposed workaround, I got the BRP069B41 to show up
I did some further digging and read quickly through the pydaikin code, only to find out that for a BRP069B41, one does not have to provide the key or a password.
Once I removed the 0.113.1 version of the daikin component from the custom_components directory, so that I was back on 0.114.4, everything worked out of the box by only using the discovered IP address.
I’m so used to add keys to integrations, that I did not imagine it could work without providing a key or password
** BRP072A42 Connected OK without needing API Key or Password.**
I was having a lot of trouble connecting my AC to Homeassisant 117.4
My situation is as follows.
The AC was installed some time ago with a BRP072A42 so I was using the iPhone app “Mobile Controller” already.
When installing the Daikin AC integration I was following the instructions to enter IP and Key but was getting an error. After trying a number of combinations it eventually worked by using the IP address only and leaving the API Key and Password blank.
Greetings to everyone,
I have installed a new Daikin AC with the peace in mind that it will integrate seamlessly with HA.
Now that is connected to the wifi, I can control it via the app (Daikin residential controller, not the old daikin online controller) but I cannot properly connect it to HA
It show up only the inside temperature (only the entity, with unknown data) and the climate component remains unavailable.
The controller model is BRP069C4x, that comes with an SSID and KEY sticker (no api key) , there’s any suitable way to integrate it into HA?
