Oh I was so stupid. I took the request example from the proxy and replaced \\" for \" but did not notice \\/ that need replacing to \/
so I had "\\/dsiot\\/edge\\/adr_0100.dgc_status" instead of "\/dsiot\/edge\/adr_0100.dgc_status"
and the command obviously failed.
so now everything works. just need to record commands with proxy and then can implement them and later add to home assistant too.
I have a Faikin installed. Super simple setup and completely local. The developer is very responsive to issues. Very happy I went that route instead of one of the official Daikin modules.

great, may i contact you if i run into problems ?
Sure, but you’ll probably get better support straight from the dev if you post on github.
Hi all,
I was able to decode most of the new protocol, at least the components Home Assistant would need to get the integration working again. Just waiting for the developers to have time to refactor the implementation now.
I was also able to set up a couple of services on Home Assistant to turn the heater on and off until the integration is updated.
Have a look at GitHub if you want more details on this issue.
Cheers

Has anyone checked out or tried/applied for the new public API integration Daikin has detailed here:
?
This is cloud based, as compared to the existing integration that interrogates the unit directly. Also I don’t know whether the cloud access is available in every country and free.
Cheers
Has anyone noticed that, since last firmware, powerful mode no longer works throught the API? In my case, it only works with the remote.
I’m not sure what you mean. The last firmware changed the whole API. Home Assistant loses all functionality with Daikin units after a firmware upgrade.
I’m talking about the ONECTA API, used by rospogrigio custom integration.
New firmware for BRP069C4, version 1.28.0
Already installed it and everything still works fine with rospogrigio custom integration.
I searched for a change log but didn’t find one.
Hi, i have integrated the my Daikin FTXAAB everything is working, but i dont see the energy measurement what i can see in the app. Can i integrate that also in HA?
Kind regards,
Hi,
My understanding is that Daikin make good AC units. Unfortunately instead of improving devices over the years they have decided to remove the local API functionality. I have started to setup HA and have 5 of these Daikin AC units. At first I thought I would have to purchase 5 of the older Wifi controlers (BRP069B45) to get the local API functionality back.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this effort to intergrate recent Daikin devices with HA. I have added the ‘Daikin Residential Controller’ (rospogrigio/daikin_residential/) to HA and now have my Daikin units on the dashboard.
The intergration is not perfect, I assume this is because of the Daikin cloud. For example I have turned an AC on via HA and now 5mins later on HA the device is showing it status as Off. I have had similar experience using the Daikin ONECTA app. Also one AC is showing as on, on HA and the ONECTA app. The temperature (indoor & outdoor) sensors are not updating regularly, I would of hoped for at least once per hour. I have temperature readings from 2 days ago showing on HA, basically useless.
Turning the AC’s on and off regardless of the status that they are showing works great but the temperature readings are useless. This is currently what I have been interested in. Its geting energy consumption readings from the cloud but I need to monitor it further.
I will definitely be purchasing the ESP32-Faikin boards and puting one in each AC unit so that I have local API and no need for cloud. I am assuming and hoping that the local API will be rock solid as HA is talking to the devices directly.
I am using Daikin FTXM35R2V1B with BRP069C4x on Firmware 1.28.0.
Quick guide on a new Home Assistant install:
Goto Addons and install SSH, add a password on the config tab
Use SSH to download HACS (Home Assistant Community Store)
Add HACS as an intergration
Goto HACS and install Daikin Residential Controller (ONECTA)
Add Daikin Residential Controller intergration
Thank you for your post.
It’s worth nothing that cloud services are not available everywhere. For example Daikin Australia provides no cloud access.
Also the local API hasn’t been turned off, but instead it’s been changed so that it no longer works with the HA integration. As I understand work has already started to refactor the integration to work with FW 1.28.0
Cheers
The local API has been turned off on the most common adapter that come with the residential split systems, like the BRP069C4x. It’s cloud only for those.
As was already stated in a previous post on this topic, we are hopeful that Daikin will open the API for local access in the future due to some hints from Daikin Europe. We’ll see.
Meanwhile there are alternatives like Faikin or direct ESP access as also already stated before in this thread.

i did it by myself and it was a lot of fun, but honestly you can’t expect all end user to be able (o to want!) to open their split, create the circuit and all the rest. I fully understand final users to be upset with daikin behavior, even more if really the user experience you get with the cloud API is the one reported by @leviathan400
I’m not saying it’s for everyone and it’s certainly not ok that Daikin has gone this route.
As I said in my post, we are hopeful that Daikin will open the local API again so we can have a proper integration like with the older models.
I just received 4x new Daikin Stylish (MY2023) and 1x Emura (MY2023)
I was able to open up one of the Stylish and found the included WIFI module is a BRP084A42-1
I didn’t see this particular model in the thread here, but I would assume that because it’s an A-series it still had a Local API ?
I also opened up the Emura FTXJ50AB, but the WLAN module seems very well hidden there, couldn’t find. It’s probably under the mainboard ?
Correct.
