So, knowing that you need to adjust the tmin and tmax settings is well and good, but how do you do it? Well, I will give a screenshot below. But before I do, something to be cautious about - I am setting the Min and Max on my Daikin’s to the same as the OEM range. I don’t know if going outside your range will damage the units, and given the costs, I am not willing to try.
In my case, the OEM setting is 45 F as a low, and 95 F as a high for the US. Thats about 7 C and 35 C. (As a Canadian living in the US I prefer C, but the WAF demands F… )
In order to set this, you need to publish it to MQTT:
Go to Settings → Devices and Services → (Your MQTT HERE) → Configure
you need to fill out two bits:
Publish a Packet:
setting/NAME_OF_DEVICE_HERE/tmin
Payload:
Value in Celcius
So, as you can see, I set the min temp tmin
to 7 C, and then did the same for tmax
by setting it to 35.
Now, when going to the local web page, the device has updated itself with the min and max values:
And the same goes for Home Assistant!
I can’t recommend these enough for your Daikin Mini-Splits.
As I get all the bits together, I will turn this post into a detailed write up for how to get them (you can also build them yourself) and how to get them physically installed and working with Home Assistant.
