Feature request: Support reading of energy consumption data

[ak1de]

Some of the Daiking devices provide energy consumption data. I am using FTXA25A2V1BW with build-in controller (FW 1.2.51) and two FVXM25FV1B with controllers BRP069A42 (FW 3.3.6) and BRP069B41 (FW 1.2.51). For all three combinations energy data is displayed in the Daikin app. Please see the attached screenshot as an example.

The question is what you wouldl like to do with this and how it could be represented in states

[ak1de]

The use case I was thinking of is primarily the visualisation of energy consumption data in an ioBroker based UI. For me personally it would be based on vis. The idea is to be able to have a more comprehensive view on energy consumption, e.g. I am also viewing at data coming from some Homematic or Shelly (incl. 3EM) devices for that purpose. Leaving out air conditioning devices altogether would be a gap. This could be addressed with energy meters, but if there's a native way, this should be the preferred approach. Most likely it would also leverage the data points/states for further usage by the Influx adapter (in combo with Grafana) or potentially Sourceanalytix. I cannot comment how it should be presented in states since I don't know what raw data is actually provided by the API. I only see what Daikin's app is showing me.

Which data would be interesting? Daily (per hour I think) or weekly or yearly? Or only the current day as sum updated once an hour? I could think of one state for „current day sum so far“ and one „last day“ which will get the final sum of the last day. With this and the history adapters Everything should be possible or?!

I would say:

• this day
• this month
• this year
• last day
• last month
• last year

Each of those 6 x 3 values for:

• cooling
• heating
• total

So it would be 18 objects. From "this day" incremental value its easy to draw hourly stats with own graphing tools.

This Data would be nice! here is the API what i found:

/aircon/get_day_power_ex?days=2 | ? | ? | X | Gets the power consumption of the last 2 days (in 0.1 kWh) /aircon/get_week_power_ex | ? | ? | X | Gets the power consumption of current and last week (in 0.1 kWh) /aircon/get_year_power_ex | ? | ? | X | Gets the power consumption of current and last year (in 0.1 kWh)

here is an example result for days=2:

t=OK,curr_day_heat=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0,prev_1day_heat=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0,curr_day_cool=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0,prev_1day_cool=0/0/1/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/1/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/1

every /0/ representing one hour of the day

I just bought 2 Daikin Perfera, which I have added to iobroker via daikin.cloud. The climateControl/consumptionData/electrical value is null all the time, altough I have consumption data > null in the onecta app. So looks like its not updated regularly. Time stamp of the value is 2022-10-04, today its 2022-10-12, so more than a week no new value. If I can test anything , please let me know.

@HermiTheGermi YOu use daiki-cloud adapter, so a different one then this one! Your issue is https://github.com/Apollon77/ioBroker.daikin-cloud/issues/147

I am also very interested in being able to read the electric consumption from the A/C. I use Loxone for home automation and need this info to properly monitor energy management, such as switching on the airco when there is a surplus of solar power. thank you in advance. Using 5 AC's

Which VIS can i use to visualisize the consumtion data? I have the JS script to get the data.
