FDC100VNP support - Githubissues

matheuscanela commented 4 months ago

This is not an issue, but I couldn't find an option to raise a discussion.

Name of my AC: FDC100VNP

Describe the bug

I don't have access yet to my unit, but I am not sure if this project supports it, is there any way to know if it is supported? I contacted Mitsubishi and they recommended the device below

FDC100VNP is the outdoor unit. The module needs to be connected to the indoor unit. So it depends on the type of the indoor unit I think.

scottg88 commented 4 months ago

Once you know the model number of the indoor unit (like glsf91 mentioned), a good indicator as to whether there is a possibility you could use this project with it is to:

Download the installation manual (this is NOT the user manual, this is the manual for the HVAC people installing it)
Look for a section about installing an interface (e.g. a WiFi module) - in the manuals for mine it was called TERMINAL CONNECTION FOR AN INTERFACE, in the same section as removing/installing the front panel etc.
If there is, there will be a diagram which indicates the port that the official WiFi module and wired controllers connect to - if it's called a CNS port then it's a positive sign

There is no guarantee that it WILL work, but this project hooks up to what they are calling the CNS port, at least in recent models. There may be multiple protocols out there with the same port name though, or it might be a revision not supported (yet - you could always follow the instructions in this repo to help get it supported if it's a newer revision). Or you might have some other port and it might still work.

Thanks folks!

I don't have access to the roof yet and it may take a few months :(

I had a chat with the company, and they said that the indoor unit may be one of these

When I lookup the fdt140vh, I see an optional wifi module is also available. But it looks like these (RCN-T-5AW-E2) are connected with 2 wires. So I have doubts if this unit has a CNS port. So you have to look inside the indoor unit if it has this free CNS port.

Also interested in wifi for the fdtc series. Have already some wifi modules on the skr's.

The original wifi module for the fdtc series is the IntesisBox INWFIMHI001R100. For the skr's the original wifi module is also Intesis i think.

Anyone which can help with this?

matheuscanela commented 3 months ago

Hey @vergoossen

Yes, the manual provided by Mitsubishi talks about Intesis, have you used it? Does it integrate well with HA?

I am waiting for a few changes in my ceiling to be able to check the machine details as it is not easy to access.

The original wifi module for the fdtc series is the IntesisBox INWFIMHI001R100. For the skr's the original wifi module is also Intesis i think.

This wifi model is not for SRK. It is also connected with 2 wires. So it cannot be replaced by mhi-ac-ctrl.

vergoossen commented 3 months ago

This particular Intesis model not indeed. I meant there’s another Intesis model for the SRK.
