Hi guys,

I just learnt about the Daikin online controller unit that allows older split air con units to be controlled online etc

Now i’m not very good with coding or anything so please forgive me if this is a dumb question, I understand it has an open API? Would that be able to be integrated into Vera at all?

I thought I saw someone asking this not too long ago…

Regardless, not a dumb question… If the Daikin add-on has an open API then you can definitely control it with Vera. If a developer has access to these products themselves then then they may choose to develop a plug-in or you can ask for help and write some code in Lua to control it yourself.

Best of luck…

Looks interesting but the controller is pretty expensive at about 290 USD. Also how dependent is it on their pay for subscription service? And firmware upgrades?

These controllers seem to be applicable to A/Cs from way back. They plug into what is probably some sort of serial port in the A/C. Knowing the comms protocol on that port (rather than on the LAN port) would be useful, as you could probably write a MySensors sketch for it.

If you have one of the Daikin online controllers, the first thing you can try is to run this in your browser and see what comes back:

If any one has the detailed controller API info, please post it here.

I found someone who made a plugin for Openhab, does this help?

Yep.
