Daikin BRP072C42 WIFI custom component

Chew_Yikai · November 6, 2020, 1:06pm

Hi Guys,

Did something break on the 0.117.5? seems like mine broke after upgrading.

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?

kriskep · November 22, 2020, 2:12pm

@iacopo93: I had the same controller model(BRP069C4x) installed in the house yesterday. So far I had no luck with connecting to it with anything else than the new Daikin residential controller app.

Things I have found out so far:

https port 443 is closed
http port 80 is open
curl to http://[IP]/common/register_terminal?key=[KEY] comes back with a 404 not found
curl “http://[IP]/common/basic_info” and any other API calls also come back with 404
it does respond to UDP 30050 discovery

It looks to me that this model uses another way to control access. Any help welcome!

I have the same problems with my new device (FTXM-R) which does not have a controller but has an integrated wifi board, and is also configured through Daikini Residential Controller app.
I tried to write to Daikin asking if they would undisclose the new APIs, let’s see what they answer. I’ll track this thread too, in case somebody has suggestions.

I am having an error using the Daikin Residencial controller supported AC
any idea how to resolve this?

Yes, your model should not have Key/password filled.

What does the logs say when connecting and logging: DEBUG enabled?

Enable debugging logs, and open a new thread where you tag me and we’ll see what we can do.

@rospogrigio also had some findings on how to debug / investigate connection.

Reinier1 · April 23, 2021, 2:34pm

Just want to mention that I have the same type of units (FTXM-R), and really hope we get to control them from HA. Will be watching this subject.

kucau · June 16, 2021, 2:28am

Release 2021.6.5 - June 15 breaks this wifi module integration. do not upgrade or revert to 2021.6.4

yes having issue with Release 2021.6.5 - June 15 , using BRP072C42 . It was flawless before

Support for the C42 seems to have stopped in the 2021.6.5 release - inadvertently as it tries to read a sensor that doesn’t exist with this controller power consumption in the last hour).

Anyone know if it’s fixed in 2021.6.6? There’s zero mentions in the release notes.

kucau · June 27, 2021, 12:43pm

fixed in 2021.6.6.

mperaltaoz · June 28, 2021, 11:28am

Hi there,
I have 2x Daikin ACs with BRP072C42 wifi units attached to them.
The ACs and the Wifi units are identical, and both are connected to my Hassio 2021.06.6 installation.
One of them works perfectly and identifies 7 entities.
The other one, however, only identifies 4 entities and throws the following error in the Home Assistant Log file.

Any ideas on what is wrong here?
Both units are the same model and run the same firmware… this is very strange.

Hello guys, I am having the issue of not be able to control the daikin entities.

I have the BRP069C4X model

in the Log I can see these warnings

Can anyone help to fixe this? Or is not possible yet?

Reinier1 · October 3, 2021, 7:09am

A quick follow-up here. I found another tweaker who added these two components to the airconditioner:
BRP069B42 dus de wifi module met S21 kabel.
EKRS21 (Daikin S21 reducer kit voor Stylish), dit is een verloopkabel en die past dus op binnenunit.

I can now control the new system using the old wifi module and home assistant.

jammin · October 25, 2021, 8:16am

Did you resolve the problem with the BRP072C42?

I’m about to buy a Wifi adaptor, can anyone tell me if the BRP072C42 is working well with home assistant, or is it worth trying to track down a BRP072A42?

Reinier1 · October 29, 2021, 4:00pm

BRP069B42 with the S21 cable works nicely with HA.

mihsu81 · October 30, 2021, 6:59am

Hi @jammin,

I have 2 Perfera-R (built-in BRP072C42) working fine with the integration from @rospogrigio.

LintHart · October 31, 2021, 5:19am

Hey @mihsu81 , can you please point me to this custom component?

I’ve just done a big leap to 2021.10.6 and I’m having problems with the built in component

Cheers

Linton

mihsu81 · October 31, 2021, 6:59am

Hi @LintHart,
Add “GitHub - rospogrigio/daikin_residential: Cloud control of Daikin devices that are supported by Daikin Residential Controller app.” as a Custom Repository in HACS (category Integrations) and it will appear in the available Integrations of HACS. Install the Integration “Daikin Residential Controller” from HACS. At this point it will appear as an available integration to add in HA/Configuration/Integrations.

Brynn · November 1, 2023, 2:42am

Mine is a BRP072A42 too but I had to put my KEY in as the API key with no password for it to connect.

Brynn · November 2, 2023, 11:18pm

The AC Power Switch also didn’t work in my HA so I had to create one in configuration.yaml like this:

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      daiken_switch:
        value_template: "{{ not is_state('climate.daikinap50360', 'off') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: climate.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: climate.daikinap50360
        turn_off:
          service: climate.turn_off
          target:
            entity_id: climate.daikinap50360

For reference, here’s what my Entity card looks like:

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: switch.daiken
    icon: mdi:air-conditioner
    name: Daiken Air Conditioner
  - entity: climate.daikinap50360
