Really appreciate your help here Jim! Thanks for you replies!

It seems that your sitemap file isn’t being picked up - maybe it’s in the wrong directory? Try typing gibberish to create a deliberate syntax error then save it. Your BasicUI show an error.

In any case, this doesn’t seem like a Daikin Airbase binding issue. You should post this problem as a separate topic, because there are many other people who are much better than me at helping people troubleshooting this

ok thanks Jim, I will try that

Hi @dastrix80 - What tag do you use to get the fan speed adjustable with Alexa?

Hello everybody, I just start my new Daikin device. All of them use BRP069C4x wi-fi adapter, but it doesn’t work with Daikin binding. Someone else has same problem? this model is the newest wi-fi adapter delivery with Perfera air coditioner. Thanks

We’re all just daikin users with our own specific models that we own. We can try adding the support for your model but we need your help doing the tests and providing sample data.

Firstly, can you access your wifi controller using http:// or https:// ?
If it’s https, there are extra steps required to register a uuid to authenticate See Daikin Binding support for BRP072C42 controller

I suspect the “C” in your model number means it’s https.

Please proceed with doing the authentication, then post the results of the following urls:

https://ipaddress/common/basic_info";
https://ipaddress/aircon/get_control_info";
https://ipaddress/aircon/get_sensor_info";

Looks like the API for this one is cloud based… CTXM15R5V1B and FTXM20R5V1B : New API? · Issue #123 · cbrandlehner/homebridge-daikin-local · GitHub

@tebraxin I think @Paul_Smedley has got the answer up there.

@JimT the correct post is that, mine is the exact same situation, so I follow that post. thanks to all for the replies.

I have the same issue with the new BRP069C4x wifi interface. The feedback I got from Daikin Belgium is that they will be using this type of interface for their current and future products …

the github thread basically describes how the communication works, next step will be to incorporate this in a new type of daikin binding.

But as I am not a developper, I can only offer my possibility to help testing … hopefully somebody will pick this up.

is there an API to update the date-time?
is sync time?

Hey Paul,

Anyone would think daylight savings just started in Australia :slight_smile:

There is definitely no current code for time sync, however, the Airbase app can do it, so there must be an API to do it.

Cheers,

Paul

well I did try the Airbase App (which is rubbish) and I couldn’t get it to sync the time so I gave up and manually entered it.
Its unclear how and when it syncs the clock.

OK, spent some time on my phone with ‘packet capture’, and Android app that works kinda like Wireshark…

Query time:
http://192.168.1.220/skyfi/common/get_datetime

Returns output like:
ret=OK,sta=2,cur=2021/10/3 10:22:38,reg=au,dst=1,zone=5
Note: time is in local time

Setting time:
http://192.168.1.220/skyfi/common/notify_date_time?lpw=&date=2021%2F%2F10%2F03&zone=GMT&time=23%3A51%3A46

Returns output like:
ret=THROUGH

Note time/date are in GMT, not in local time

I have no time right now to work on the binding, but documenting this in case anyone want to look at it.

interesting my /get_datetime returns zone=345 not sure what that means??

ret=OK,sta=2,cur=2021/10/3 11:12:47,reg=au,dst=1,zone=345

update:
actually I think it relates to “Sydney”

I’m curious. I live in QLD, no DST, and I just set the date/time on the aircon once and never thought about it again. I have absolutely zero use for the date/time on the aircon, but I do realise it’s displayed on the controller on the wall. Is that the only reason why you’d like to set it programmatically? If it has DST settings / proper timezone, shouldn’t it auto-adjust for the DST changes?

Hi Jim,

I tend to check the time in the controller twice per year when DST starts or ends.

I think that if sync is enabled, it only syncs when the airbase app is loaded.

I don’t see a massive need to add the binding - I guess it would be nice to keep the time accurate, but not sure if there’s any way way to trigger a sync once per day (or whatever) frequency.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi @Bl00d_b0b would you mind testing the changes I made to control streamer / powerful / eco mode here:
https://github.com/jimtng/openhab-addons/releases/tag/daikin-specialmode-v0.0.1

Since it is not Airbase related, could you please post the result in this thread instead:

hello, there I have just notice the Binding doesn’t seem to respond some commands eg switching modes
eg COLD → HEAT.
