Daikin ESPHome silent mode

ESPHome
1

Hi

I just build my first ESPHome device controlling my Daikin AC. I also integrated ESPhome with Home Assistant and see the lovelace card. Everything is working fine except that I am not able to set my AC to the Focus mode (on my Daikin that is the fan running on silent mode, only the fan that is). Anyone knows how Home Assistant can set the fan mode to focus. Currently I only have AUTO low medium and high.

thanks!

Hi, in another project (Mitsubishi heatpump) it also came up, and the author did some research. It seems custom modes and individual vane positions are not yet supported by ESPHome.
Missing vertical (and horizontal in general) swing mode steps #33

“Further research shows that the esphome protocol doesn’t support sending custom climate modes to home assistant either…”
