# Daikin Binding

The Daikin binding allows you to control your Daikin air conditioning units with openHAB. In order to do so, your Daikin air conditioning unit must have a BRP072A42, BRP072C42 or BRP15B61 WiFi adapter installed.

# Supported Things

Daikin air conditioning units with a BRP069B41, BRP072A42, BRP072C42 or BRP15B61 installed. This may work with the older KRP series of wired adapters, but has not been tested with them.

# Discovery

This add-on will broadcast messages on your local network looking for Daikin air conditioning units and adding them to the queue of new items discovered. You can also manually add a new item if you know the IP address.

Background discovery polls the network every minute for devices. Background discovery is enabled by default. To disable background discovery, add the following line to the conf/services/runtime.cfg file:

discovery.daikin:background=false

# BRP072C42 adapter discovery

A BRP072C42 adapter requires a registered UUID to authenticate. Upon discovery, a UUID will be generated but the adapter's key must be entered in the Thing configuration to complete the UUID registration.

# Thing Configuration

  • host - The hostname of the Daikin air conditioner. Typically you'd use an IP address such as 192.168.0.5 for this field.
  • refresh - The frequency with which to refresh information from the Daikin air conditioner specified in seconds. Defaults to 60 seconds.

# Additional Thing configurations for BRP072C42 adapter

  • secure - Must be set to true for BRP072C42 to access it through https.
  • uuid - A UUID used to access the BRP072C42 adapter. A handy UUID generator can be found at https://www.uuidgenerator.net/ (opens new window).
  • key - The 13-digit key from the Daikin adapter.

# Channels

The temperature channels have a precision of one half degree Celsius. For the BRP072A42 and BRP072C42:

Channel Name Description
