homebridge-daikin-skyfi

Supports Daikin Air Conditioners (that use SKYFi) on HomeBridge.

Installation

The following steps will install HomeBridge-DaikinSKYFi. In it's current form allows you to turn the power on or off, set heating or cooling mode and set the target temperature. The install may require you to run as an administrator (using a different login or sudo):

1. Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-daikin-skyfi
3. Update your configuration file. See sample-config.json in this repository for a sample.

Configuration

Configuration sample:

   {
       "bridge": {
           ...
       },
       
       "description": "...",

       "accessories": [
           {
               "accessory": "DaikinSKYFi",
               "name": "DaikinSKYFi",
               "apiroute": "http://192.168.X.X:2000",
               "pass": "XXXXX",
               "type": "SKYFi",
               "logprefix": "Kitchen"
           }
       ],

       "platforms":[]
   }

Notes on the CONFIG

The apiroute is the IP address of your with the port 2000 attached. Example: "http://192.168.0.30:2000". The pass is the passcode you use to access the unit using the Daikin SKYFi app on your phone. Example "01234". The logprefix is used to prefix log messages and may be useful if you have more than one SKYFi unit.

Credit

This whole plugin is based on the DirtyDevWork/homebridge-daikin plugin which is based on the homebridge-thermostat. Adapting DirtyDevWork's rather excellent js script for SKYFi was not as easy as I had first thought. Basically it required a rewrite of any code that sent HTTP commands as SKYFi and non-SKYFi units accept quite different commands and I also found that my Daikin SKYFi unit hates two HTTP commands being sent at the same time! More than happy for anyone to take this code and merge is back into DirtyDevWork's branch to create one Daikin module.
