Integration with Daikin Skyfi app (Air conditioning)

[timhorton]

Thanks man, I’ve put this in and it’s work now, not perfect, but its working. You’re a life saver. I’m scared to upgrade my Hassio now.

[splendstrom]

No worries. Let me know any issues and i’ll attempt to fix them. Slowly.

Hey @splendstrom

Just reading through this, you’ve called it climate.py?
Would you mind explaining where that goes in relation to skyfi.py?

Thanks
Mark

[stavroz]

it should be
config/custom_components/skyfi/climate.py
i think you also need the manifest.json mentioned somewhere in the same directory.

Ive been trying to get this going for months and would be interested to see if you are able to.

I’ve got some time to look into it, but am not a coder anymore.

Thanks for the reply!

Ok, I’m unpicking the tricky layers of this, and have found this discussion:

'Platform not found' for simple custom component in 0.94.2

To be precise, this problem may occur in a very specific situation and not for all custom_components. I’m taking just one component (climate.py) of a large integration (mqtt) and identifying it as a new platform (in this example I called it whatever). The code inside the climate.py file contains references to other parts of the mqtt integration. Two of those references were relative to the file’s location. It’s those two references that caused the problem because my copy of climate.py is locat…

This isn’t going to be fun

I think I’ve added the two new file types to your github page - never looked at it before and it wouldn’t let me upload.

I have finally decided to do a fresh Hassio install on a new machine with the latest update. Unfortunately I am no longer being able to integrate daikin skyfi. It was working fine with the previous version (0.91). Anyone having any luck?

@markss and I started an attempt to integrate Skyfi support into the pyDaikin package here: https://bitbucket.org/mustang51/pydaikin/pull-requests/15/appliance-skyfipy-edited-online-with

My idea is to have a subclass to the main Daikin Appliance class that supports the SkyFi protocol.

@splendstrom, perhaps you are interested in helping us with finishing it. (I can do the HA part once the pyDaikin package is updated).

[stavroz]

It would be great to get this fixed up. It does work although it fills my logs with errors.

Hi Daniel, did you manage to successfully integrate Zena ? I have Zena (FTXJ35TVMAW), with integrated WiFi and D-mobile app. I have tried Deakin integration and connection is being refused. I saw somewhere on this forum that https protocol is being used for this model. Any tips ?

[mynameisdaniel (Daniel)]

Yeah mine’s been working beautifully with the Daikin component. Did you get the same BRP072A42 adapter?

I can access the API via http, no need for https and seems everything is up to date (firmware 3.4.3 on my adapter).

[borisroz (Boris)]

Hi Daniel, my version of Zena has integrated WiFi adapter, I hope to use it, but not sure if that it possible. Did your Zena have integrated WiFi ?

[mynameisdaniel (Daniel)]

My Zena didn’t have built-in wifi, I had to buy that module and install it in a compartment on the indoor unit. My Zena model is FTXJ35PVMAS bought a few years ago now so maybe things have changed a bit.

There seems to be four different ways Daikin apps communicate.

1. BRP069Axx/BRP069Bxx/BRP072Axx (supported natively)
2. BRP15B61 aka. AirBase (supported natively)
3. BRP072B/Cxx (needs https access and a key)
4. SkyFi (different protocol, have a password)

It seems think that the D-mobile app are communicating with BRP072 units: https://www.daikin.co.nz/controllers/d-mobile-app-wall-mounted-only

In conjunction with Daikin’s BRP072A42 wireless LAN adaptor, the easy to use D-Mobile app lets you use your smartphone or tablet to operate your Daikin wall mounted air conditioning unit via Wi-Fi or the internet.

I’m working on adding the last two into the Daikin integration, but it is going quite slow as I need testers for the new code.

Here is a discussion on how to get 72B/C working: Daikin BRP072C42 WIFI custom component - #29 by LintHart

Anyone (ping @Borgy, @moorey81, @markss), please send me a PM so we can set up a test environment for testing pyDaikin 2.0 (with support for all known models).

[borisroz (Boris)]

Thanks @fredrike. I am not sure what version of WiFi adapter I have, as it is internal, but I will try your suggestions. I am available for any testing against my Zena, if needed.

Cheers, Boris

Which mobile app are you using?

[borisroz (Boris)]

I am using Mobile Controller app. The Zena model is: FTXJ35TVMAW.

[fredrike (Fredrik Erlandsson)]

This one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.daikin.remoapp / ‎DAIKIN Mobile Controller on the App Store ?
BC, that falls under the first category (Daikin AC - Home Assistant)

1. BRP069Axx/BRP069Bxx/BRP072Axx

I have a BRP069B myself so that is already tested .

[borisroz (Boris)]

Yes, I am using that Mobile app.
