- Daikin air conditioners are mechanically excellent but their WiFi control modules, especially the latest cloud-based models, are problematic.
- This project provides local control via web interface, MQTT, and HomeAssistant integration without requiring cloud services.
- A new Faikin Remote Control with BLE and environmental sensors is available on Tindie.
- PCB designs are open-source, available for purchase on Tindie, Amazon UK, and eBay Australia.
- Contributions must adhere to the GPL license; forks must also comply with the same license.
- The project is open-source but restricts the use of Andrews & Arnold Ltd trademarks and logos.
- Supports various Daikin modules via S21, X50A, and X35A connectors.
- The module offers local web-based control, MQTT integration, and compatibility with Home Assistant.
- Includes KiCad PCB designs, 3D printed case STL files, and documentation on reverse-engineered protocols.
- Pre-loaded assembled PCBs can be purchased; DIY builds require programming tools and experience.
- Automatic software updates are enabled by default, with settings adjustable via MQTT.
- For support, check GitHub issues and discussions.
