Daikin Madoka BRC1H bluetooth custom component

Yes, of course, data is always welcome. I myself have two Daikin units, but more is better.

This probably will just amuse me, but I missed your reply last year and struggled on with a bluetooth dongle and it constantly dropping out until a few months ago when I started googling again out of frustration.

Iā€™d totally forgot about your esp implementation and re-discovered itā€¦ still not remembering it. But my hopes were ruined when I was getting some weird authentication error, but after some short googling I found someone with the exact same problemā€¦ me!

Anyway, this has been super stable, so thanks very much for all your work on it. Itā€™s made the A/C actually usable in HA for me!

Out of interest do you plan to get it merged into the main repo?

Thank you. Iā€™m glad you find it useful.
Yes, actually thereā€™s a pending PR on the esphome github project. But - donā€™t ask me why - nobody even reviewed it.
Luckily itā€™s no big deal, since you can use it right away from my repository with just few more lines of config.

Hello everyone! I am having trouble with my VAM (ventilation) unit. Am I the only one experiencing the same problem?

Thanks :blush:

i gave your PR a like, maybe it helps to get attention. i see your PR has a label ā€œneeds testsā€. is there some automated testing needed before it will be reviewed?

Yes. I think itā€™s because of tests missing. Letā€™s give it a try

Hi @Petapton. Iā€™ve found the time to test recent changes on your component on my 4 remotes. I had, in order to make them to work well, to split them on two different esp32 boards (two remotes for each board). It is known the limit of 3 connected devices for esphome but I got problems with 3.

My main issue is with the new fans support. I canā€™t spot any fan-related options on the HA climate devices (just HAVC modes and temperatures). It there something I have to enable? Can I provide some kind of logs to inspect the values reported by my remotes?

Thanks!

UPDATE: I did a clean rebuild and now the fan controls appearedā€¦ :slight_smile:

This seems to be hit and miss. I added 1 unit and it worked, except temperature settings are unreliable. Pressing -1 sometimes increases and sometimes decreases, setting temp also does this. Mostly when decreasing temps it goes ā€˜badā€™.
Then I deleted everything and added 2 units. Unit that previously worked started to show only on/off and modeā€¦ removing and adding back couple times (whole integration) got it back to that mode. Had 1 unit showing up correctly, did a reload of integration and it went into this mode too.
Added just one unit to see if I can catch something wrong with temperature decrease, after playing with it, device went offline. Reloading integration didnā€™t help while I did see in bluetoothctl the device connected.
When device goes to this mode name changes in integration to - UE878 RF MODULE
This happened with master and slave madokas.
Iā€™ve deleted everything from HA and bluetoothctl. Rebooted instance/HA and still same issues.
