OpenDaikin Binding from MarketPlace Questions

noppes123 · December 31, 2018, 10:55am

The opendaikin binding works nice, again thanks for that @caffineehacker.

I did notice one small issue. When starting OH there are multiple warnings about wrong command type:

2018-12-31 10:59:57.235 [WARN ] [ikin.handler.OpenDaikinAcUnitHandler] - Received command of wrong type for thing 'opendaikin:ac_unit:192_168_1_84' on channel power

Not a big thing. Just wanted to report it (maybe something for a next release ).

Yeah I see these too here with my recompiled version of the opendaikin binding for use with the AU Daikin Airbase adaptor. I haven’t yet had a chance to investigate why this happens.

Cheers,

Paul

Hello to all,

I have been running OH in a windows 10 PC and after the upgrade from OH2.3 to OH 2.4 I experienced the following with this binding (from the events.log):

2019-01-14 08:43:50.979 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘opendaikin:ac_unit:acsuite’ changed from ONLINE to UNINITIALIZED
2019-01-14 08:43:50.997 [hingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘opendaikin:ac_unit:acsuite’ changed from UNINITIALIZED to UNINITIALIZED (HANDLER_MISSING_ERROR)

And the communication never recoverers again, I had to restart OH and after a few minuts the same again.
I had to go back to OH2.3.

Any ideas?

Thanks and best regards

Paul_Smedley · January 14, 2019, 8:48pm

I saw something similar when I updated to Openhab 2.4. a dependency for opendaikin wasn’t present in 2.4 and had to be installed manually.

Openhab.log probably has some clues.

Cheers,

Paul

rjduraocosta · January 17, 2019, 5:40pm

Thanks for your reply. After I did the upodate procedure again everything worked again.

Best regards.

fenderislife · April 18, 2019, 9:28pm

@caffineehacker Hello Tim,
any hope to have Daikin BRP069A81 supported in a future version on OpenDaikin?
I’m a total noob, but if anyone can tell me how I’m happy to help.
Opendaikin binding installs correctly on my OpenHab 2.4 (Raspberry PI - Raspbian) and recognizes my A/C machine, but it won’t do anything when I click.
Thank you again

noppes123 · April 18, 2019, 9:37pm

Any entries in the log files? If not you can enable debugging for the binding to see what’s going on. Perhaps that gives some clues…
I’ll check which device type I have tomorrow, for comparison, don’t recall the exect product number but its very similar to yours.

fenderislife · April 18, 2019, 9:40pm

Hello Ron, thank you for your answer.
As I wrote before, I’m a total noob. How can I see the log files? How can I enable debugging for the binding?
Sorry for my lack of knowledge.
Thank you

noppes123 · April 18, 2019, 9:47pm

If you know how to setup an SSH connection with the Pi, you should type the command:

tail -fn20 var/log/openhab2/events.log -fn20 /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log

and watch the logs while trying to control the AC.

fenderislife · April 18, 2019, 9:49pm

Thank you. I don’t have to use SSH since I have a monitor connected to my Pi.
I will do it as I return home and post the results here.
Thank you for your help.

fenderislife · April 19, 2019, 11:14am

Never mind Ron.
I had the 2.3 version installed, I really apologize for not having checked it before posting. Again, sorry for your loss of time.
I installed the 2.4 version, restarted OpenHab and now it works like a charm.

Unfortunately I still can’t control Setpoint and Mode parameters on the OpenHab 2 app for Android.

Here the log, if it can be of any help:

Hi is there support for the BRP15B61 wifi module?
and where do I get latest stable version of this addon?

noppes123 · June 4, 2019, 7:42pm

You can find the ‘beta’ version in this post.
Lately the author of the binding doesn’t seem to be working on migrating it to the new build system and actively maintain it. To my knowledge there is no new version.

As far as support for BRP15B61 is concerned, that’s a matter of testing. Many WiFi models seem to be based on the same API.

Paul_Smedley · June 5, 2019, 9:42am

Hi - for the BRP15B61 (aka Daikin Airbase) in Australia, try http://smedley.id.au/tmp/org.openhab.binding.opendaikin-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

mtrax · June 9, 2019, 7:22pm

Thanks I got indoor temperatures channel connected, however for the power channel I get errors about wrong type as above, for switch type.

JDLambert · June 13, 2019, 5:44am

Hi Paul, I too am in OZ and have the BRP15B61. Could you answer a couple of questions.
Did you install the Thing and Items from files or did you use Paper Ui to create and link?
What channels do you have working? I cannot change fan speed, Mode or Temp but can turn off/on and read indoor/outdoor temp. What did you do to add tags for google assistant? Did you use Habmin?
Can you share more info please.
Cheers

mtrax · June 13, 2019, 8:24pm

It sounds like your at the same stage or slightly ahead of me, I’m attempting to us config files, but addon is throwing errors in linking some items, however on whirlpool.net.au someone said they only used paperui, but I haven’t had time to try it yet.

JDLambert · June 14, 2019, 1:26am

Hi Paul (mtrax). I made some progress today. I have a working “Things” and “Items” file. I dont use the sitemap at all, instead I use the HabPanel. Although I get the “Wrong type of thing” error in the logs, everything works. I can read inside and outside temp, turn on and off, set the temp,fan and mode from HabPanel. The Humidity does not work but i’m not sure if my unit has that or not.
Items and Things.txt (991 Bytes)

mtrax · June 15, 2019, 4:34am

should these be channel= rather than daikin= on your items?

Paul_Smedley · June 15, 2019, 11:51pm

Hi James,

In Paper UI, I can change temperatures, mode & fan speed, and view indoor temperatures. Outdoor temp is N/A for some reason.

For Google Assistant, I had to add tags using habmin, and also manually create a Group:
In an items file:

Group gThermostat "Thermostat" ["Thermostat"]
// mode for Google Home
String ThermostatHeatingCoolingMode "Google Home Thermostat Heating/Cooling Mode" (gThermostat) [ "homekit:HeatingCoolingMode" ]

My Setpoint item has a Tag ‘TargetTemperature’ and is in group ‘gThermostat’
My Current Temperature item has a Tag ‘CurrentTemperature’ and is in group ‘gThermostat’

The Mode above is a virtual object, there needs to be a rule to keep it in sync with the real mode of the Thermostat. This is because the Thermostat object in Google Assistant only understands Off, Heat, Cool & HeatCool.

I have a rule that kinda works, but it’s a bit clumsy, I need to try and optimise it.

Hope this helps,

Paul
