Hi, Great to see that someone has finally made an attempt to get Daikin AC working again on HA.

For a novice, how exactly do you add the required python packages to HA? I've never had to do this before, usually done automatically via scripts etc....

Do you create a script file (named anything??, or special name and extension?) with the following contents in folder Addon-configs: { "log_level": "info", "system_packages": [ ], "python_packages": [ "paho-mqtt", "requests" ] }

Do you then restart HA or reboot?, and the packages will be install automatically then delete that file fro addon-config.

I don't run this code in Home Assistant. I use a separate machine, in my case a virtual machine running on a Proxmox server. I'm not sure how it would behave running on Home Assistant, but you could try with pip see if it would install the packages: pip install paho-mqtt

Also please note after I published the code, I realised that the file called daikin should be called daikin.py Cheers

I was provided an update to generate a docker package. That might help people that don't have a dedicated server.

I'm closing this issue.
