Power on/off the unit via php/raspi

[fcattaneo2]

Hi all. I'm installed this web gui and use it for manage my Daikin FTXM unit.

Now I'm trying to switch on/off the unit via http but I do not understand how I do it . ( my idea is use curl or sometings like this, for auto-manage the unit )

i try this via browser without success : http://192.168.1.91/aircon/set_control_info?pow=1

Is there a way to turn on the unit without sending all the parameters?

There is an example to use your api ( api.php ) without gui ?

Thanks, Fabrizio.

Nice to hear someone is using it :)

Unfortunately the answer is NO. Some parameters are mandatory. The documentation wasn't so clear on this point, so I've updated it. You can try to have a look at the improved section.

You can use pretty any http client for making the request, I usually use curl to make some tests.

I wrote this code long time ago... If you want to interact with the air conditioner, my suggestion is to use an http client or a intermediate library. I've added to the README a section with links to external libraries.

Some time ago I wrote a python library https://github.com/ael-code/daikin-aricon-pylib that can be used to build more complex stuff like web gui, script, cli etc.. It should works and provides a very simple API. It's also very nice to use it from the python interactive shell. The only problem is the lack of documentation.

Thanks, Fabrizio.
