Good afternoon.
Did someone manage to connect Daikin binding and Apple Hotekit? Can you send the settings? The device appears in the homekit. but not active or not working properly. The problem, as far as I understand, is that inclusion in daikin is on/off by a separate switch, not in mode.
I haven’t tried Homekit, but I had it working with Google Assistant to change temperature, but I had to add a rule to synchronise the ‘assistant mode’ with power on/off and the daikin mode.
Currently the Openhab Google Assistant Thermostat integration is broken, but once it’s fixed, I plan on adding a ‘Virtual Mode’ that should help Homekit and Google Assistant (and likely Alexa) integration.
Cheers,
Paul
I have to add a fully virtual air conditioner to items? And create rules for synchronizing virtual and daikin?
I used a Virtual Mode per below:
// mode for Google Home
String ThermostatHeatingCoolingMode "Google Home Thermostat Heating/Cooling Mode" (gThermostat) [ "homekit:HeatingCoolingMode" ]
This made Google Assistant happy, noting that the mode didn’t synchronise without having a rule to detect changes. That was pretty messy, I’m hoping my new item in the binding will make things much cleaner, I just need to get around to finishing off the code/logic.
Almost tuned:

I can control Daikin from openHAB, iPhone and Siri.
One problem left:
I can not control temperature from apple app(From Siri I can).
What can be a problem?
Hi @feodor, have you ever figured out, what the problem is? Because I’m struggeling with the configuration of my Daikin/Homekit 
Yes, I set everything up

WOW - Thanks for sharing! I will try this during the weekend 
The latest binding shouldn’t need a rule like that - there is an item available called homekitmode which keeps in sync with the current state of the AC
That was also what I was thinking - but this just causes problems on my site. Because according to the homecit documentation, the *HeaterCoolerState supports different modes and whenever I stick to this documentation, I get errors
CurrentHeaterCoolerState String current heater/cooler mode (INACTIVE, IDLE, HEATING, COOLING). Mapping can be redefined at item level, e.g. [HEATING="HEAT", COOLING="COOL"]
TargetHeaterCoolerState String target heater/cooler mode (AUTO, HEAT, COOL). Mapping can be redefined at item level, e.g. [AUTO="AUTOMATIC"]
Unfortunately I had also no time to test the config with the rules yet (but it is still on my agenda :D)
