I’m trying to integrate Daikin FWT05GT (FWT-GT | Daikin ) fan coil unit (with APGS02 remote) with HA. I wanted to use IR for that purpose - I have a working IR transmitter/receiver - Blitzwolf BW-RC1 flashed with ESPHome. Using IR Remote Climate — ESPHome I’ve tried every possible communication related to Daikin:
ir_receiver_pin: GPIO05 # IR Receiver
ir_transmitter_pin: GPIO14 # IR Transmitter
remote_receiver:
- id: ir_receiver
pin:
number: ${ir_receiver_pin}
inverted: True
# dump: all
remote_transmitter:
- id: ir_transmitter
pin: ${ir_transmitter_pin}
carrier_duty_percent: 50%
climate:
- platform: daikin
receiver_id: ir_receiver
transmitter_id: ir_transmitter

supports_heat: false

- platform: daikin_brc
receiver_id: ir_receiver
transmitter_id: ir_transmitter
name: "Daikin BRC"
supports_heat: false
visual:

But it doesn’t respond to any commands sent by bw-rc1, meanwhile the supplied remote is working (and bw-rc1 can see commands being send by it). Any ideas?
Hi friend. do you have finded a solution? Thanks
i have readed on another post, that ir commands from esphome not working on daikin, but working if flashed tasmota. you can try?
There’s a specific daikin protocol that you need to manually add to esphome. Mine’s using daikin64 when using tasmota but there’s an issue with inverted command sent if someone used the physical remote.

What is faikin? What are your split model? Fwt-gt? Thanks
Daikin ac generally has a wired controller port for optional wifi modules.
You’ll need to check your ac diagram (open the lid) and check if it’s using S21/S403/CN_WIR port
Then flash faikin or esphome with s21 custom component on an esp8266 and hook it up to the tx/rx of the port.

Are you sure about that?
Not have a wifi module, only remote wired. faiking working with cn_wir? It’s a great news!

Yes, use faikin-esp8266
I’ve read about faikin as a thing, but was not brave/crazy enough to disassemble it

Yep, it’s not too difficult to remove the casing

I didn’t look into it that much then, but is faikin available only as a pre-built device, or are there some instructions so I can make one myself?
Just an esp8266 with jst 2.0 adapter.
Thanks a lot! I have only seen the repo this was forked from. Since I do have some esp32/esp8266 around I’ll definitely try it
ferbulous:
S21/S403/CN_WIR
Fakin wouldn’t work for my AC would it?
I can purchase a USB wifi thing for it ( MWM170B), for about $30 USD, I do have a few D1 Minis (ESP8266) that are only collecting dust. On the diagram I see a few wired controls and wireless control plugs, but nothing that reads S21, S403 or CN_WIR
This is specific to daikin brands.

Hello, I am planning to but Daikin FWT05GT, was there a solution to make it wifi compatible?
Does my model have the needed port for this?
