Seems to follow the same naming scheme for the ESPhome components. Hopefully a step towards merging into the main branch. But don’t qoute me on that. @Petapton can you shed some light on this, please?

Yes, sorry for that. I had to change it, but forgot to send updates :slight_smile:

Right! The maintainers of ESPHome requested so, for it to be merged. Hopefully it will be merged soon

I was able to get this working but the card is just reporting off. Any ideas what I might need to do? This is a great project as the Daikin products are great but their user interfaces are horrible.

What do you see when you visit the ESP32 page from ESPHome?

Hi @Petapon

It seems that ESPHome 2025.12.0 fails compiling daikin_madoka.

Thanks.

Until merged, you might want to change the yaml into this:

#Import custom Daikin code (until PR has been merged)
external_components:
  - source: github://aceindy/esphome@aceindy-patch-1
    components: [ daikin_madoka ]

I have the same issue of course :frowning:
