I’ll explain you since I guess the climate and sensor are pretty clear (let me know if not): the last doc exists for the following reasons:
Daikin is a platform, that means that it can/could support multiple devices not just AC’s; right now I’ve added support only for AC and even in the info response I guess u saw in http://ip/common/basic_info in the response type=aircon. This means that if Daikin produces other things based on the same protocol, then other developer should be able to add them in a similar manner.
support for autodiscovery: that means that it enough to add in your config
daikin:
and if u have discovery enabled then HA will automatically add both climate and sensors for all autodiscovered ac devices without any need to specify hosts/ips and without any need to specify the two sepate configs from below:
climate:
platform: daikin
...rest of config containing host
sensor:
platform: daikin
...rest of config containing host and monitored vars
The 2nd form is optional and available only for people which want manual configs or they have discovery disabled.
HI @mynameisdaniel , can you let me know what firmware the adapter is running mine is running 2.90 i’m hoping that magically you have a different later firmware that exposes the f_rate and other features.
I’m running 2.9.0 as well - I don’t think it’s the adapter that determines what’s available, it just acts as more of a serial to wireless bridge as the same adapter works on a range of models, so firmware updates probably just affect wireless performance more than anything.
I have 3.1.1 on both of my (european) daikins which are also different models (one FTK and one FTX smth) but as I’ve already stated before: even with older firmwares I had fan dir & speed from day one since 2 years ago.
that i can now switch on / off device. I can also change Target temperature.
One thing i did notice however when using the 12000 daikin.py in my custome compenents, Whenever i change operation between off and cool or others, the target temperature always resets itself to 22 deg regardless of what value is in there
Thats great news @peterho I’m glad that everything will be fine after the next release and sorry for the delays.
About the 2nd part where temperature resets I can confirm u that it happends to all of us and I never considered it a top priority compare to the current issue.
I guess I could handle this as well in a future PR.
Our daikins also have support for holiday/away mode, humidity, power usage reporting (on supported models). Do u think that those features any other should be implemented sooner ?
Voting would be nice to see what the majority wants.
@ekt we’re not many people here…so counting posts here should be easy enought @dancwilliams before we do smth for that humidity, since I dont have that feature and I will not be able to test it, can u make sure u have support for it ? I’m asking because a lot of people reported that their device can control humidity from the infrared remote control but not from the ios/android app. Can u check the output of http://[YOUR_DAIKIN_IP]/aircon/get_control_info and let me know ?
humidity would be nice, but for me too does not work. get_sensor_info returns: ret=OK,htemp=21.0,hhum=-,otemp=5.0,err=0,cmpfreq=14
another great thing would be being able to read the embedded pir. there must be one, since daikin has a functionality of changing air direction based on presence. I don’t think I have seen returned anything resembling this info though, so it’s probably impossible.
that said, to me the state of the plugin is fine. I mean, if you can add other things that’s great, but current functionality are what I really need. and again, thanks for you work
Any other features/modes would have my vote. There’s a few things that can be done via the remote but not the app/HA (which might just be an API limitation).
I’d also like to see power consumption - although not a high priority for me and it’s not going to change how I use it.
I thought I was going crazy with the unit resetting to 22 degrees half the time (I usually have it set to 22 or 23)
I guess that’s a wrap and the majority voted to fix that temperature reset. I’ll try to make some time for it this weekend. Thanks for all ur feedback guys
I want to clarify some details:
The last 2 digits is a “set” number i.e. BRP069A41 - BRP069A45 has same wireless unit, but additional cards and/or cords. As i know there is 3 models of wireless controllers - BRP072Axx, BRP069Axx and BRP069Bxx.
BRP069Axx and BRP069Bxx are almost the same and fuly interchangeable at this time.
I have BRP069B41 on my units (FTXM-M), if you need any info i try to help.
Hi @WildRat u have told us a lot info but not any issue that u might experience. Do u have problems with fan direction and fan mode ? If yes, can u tell me the output of http://[YOUR_DAIKIN_IP]/aircon/get_control_info ?
