Fan Control #1

Open DirtyDevWork opened 8 years ago

Missing Fan Controls for Direction (vertical, horizontal, both) and Rate (auto, silence, lvl_1 to 5)

DirtyDevWork commented 8 years ago

Built-in HomeKit Characteristics that would be most appropriate would be:

RotationDirection can only be 0 (Clockwise) or 1 (Counter clockwise), doesn't fit Daikin use case well RotationSpeed is a float between 0 and 100 (stepping of 1), which also does not fit Daikin use case well.

Probably better creating custom Characteristics reflecting accurate use case

Have noticed that my BRP072A42 is not reporting back Fan settings on Firmware 2.9.0 May have moved from GET/SET_CONTROL_INFO to a different call

DirtyDevWork commented 8 years ago

Spoke with Daikin support, my model doesn't support Fan controls. It appears any where /aircon/get_model_info returns "model=NOTSUPPORTED" is stuck with this limitation until Daikin updates their firmware. All of you reading this, contact Daikin asking for that support for your aircon if you don't see Fan controls in your normal Daikin control app

I'll keep working to get fan control working on other models where supported, but will need a lot of help from those of you with supported devices

Why not add fan speed as a "lightbulb" service and use the brightness characteristic? It seems weird to me HomeKit doesn't support a fan speed on a thermostat... :-)

Happy to help with this by providing info. My get_model_info says model=0C88. Would be great to get control of the fan as well as the rest of the AC.
