New binding for DAIKIN Madoka Controller (BLE)

Development Add-ons
141

thanks Yaron.
I got stuck with pairing my first thermostat. I’ve inserted the BLE MAC address and paired it to my windows laptop and got:

Status: OFFLINE
CONFIGURATION_ERROR

Not associated with any bridge

any idea?

First you need to define a bridge (Bluetooth BlueZ Adapter).
In OH3 it looks like:

Bridge:

UID: bluetooth:bluez:hci0
label: Bluetooth Interface openhabianpi
thingTypeUID: bluetooth:bluez
configuration:
backgroundDiscovery: false
inactiveDeviceCleanupThreshold: 300
address: 00:00:00:00:00:10
inactiveDeviceCleanupInterval: 60

Thermostat:

UID: bluetooth:brc1h:hci0:Master
label: Daikin BRC1H Thermostat - Master
thingTypeUID: bluetooth:brc1h
configuration:
refreshInterval: 60
address: 00:00:00:00:00:47
commandTimeout: 1000
bridgeUID: bluetooth:bluez:hci0

Thanks again Yaron!
I put the laptop’s Bluetooth MAC and get a COMMUNICATION_ERROR for the BlueZ adapter,
is it a windows issue or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Tamir,
You mentioned “Windows Laptop”: it will not work, as it requires a Linux system. BlueZ is the Linux Bluetooth stack. Unless you manage to configure another Bluetooth adapter (such as TinyB or another one supported by OH), it will not work.

145

You can install the OH on a Raspberry Pi. I also bought a better Bluetooth adapter (see thread above) and more Madoka thermostats (each for £22 at eBay UK) and used them as slaves for units that were far a way from the Raspberry Pi (I put the slaves near the Pi).

146

I’ve ordered Raspberry Pi 4 today from AliExpress, I will wait for it, looks like I’m just burning time on Windows.
the Idea of additional thermostats close to the Pi is nice but will it work when the thermostat is not in the AC area or is it just a slave and the AC consumes the temp from the original one?

thanks,
Tamir

Personally, a USB bluetooth adapter with high gain antenna covers my whole flat !

I have a few floors, so it didn’t cover all thermostats…
“… will it work when the thermostat is not in the AC area or is it just a slave and the AC consumes the temp from the original one” - it is just a slave, the only different is that the slave will not show the temperature of the master AC area.
You just need to make sure you can run cables between the indoor unit/Master thermostat and the salve one:

Hello all,

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask my question?
But it concerns a DaikinAlterma 3 HT heat pump which we want to integrate into openhab.
Wifi adaptor: BRP069A78
heat pump : EPRA16DAV3
indoor unit : ETBH16EF6V
sanitary water : EKHWS(U)150~300A3V3
operation : BRC1HHDAW
the system is connected to tado thermostat and valves on the radiators.

How can the WiFi adapter be connected to openhab.

If necessary I will put this in a separate question

regards,

Ronny

Hi
Thank you for all the great work on this binding.
Just finished setting up openHAB4 setup on an RPI3 + CSR BT5.1 dongle.
Followed the instruction but I’m kind of stuck making the items control the BRC1H unit.
It is paired, following reset the controller state is accurately reflected in the items but changing the item values in the UI (or HomeKit) doesnt seem to affect the controller.
Any ideas?

Is this binding discontinued?
Is reported in the binding list:

But i cant find in the Addon Store.
Tested with 4.2 M2 M3 M4 and RC1…
Thanks in Advance.
Enrico.
