esphome-daikin64

Integrating daikin64 protocol with esphome to control daikin air conditioners.

This is how I integrated the daikin64 IR protocol to esphome, since the official repo doesn't support it. It has been tested on a esp8266. Other daikin protocols could possibily be implemented using a similar approach, such as DAIKIN128, DAIKIN176, DAIKIN152, etc.

Help!

I was not able to compile this exact code on esp32 with esp-idf framework. Can anyone try if this can be compiled on a esp32 with arduino framework? Related: esphome/issues#5764

How to use

1. Find where esphome stores the yaml files for each of the other nodes
2. Create a directory named include
3. Place the irdaikin.h inside
4. Copy some or all of the esphome.yaml configs and compile.

Configurations

Different protocols

Change the protocol by changing the IRDaikin64 ac(kIrLed); line in the .h file. See comments for details.

Using a proper state sensor for the AC

Delete everything under the on_state trigger. Remember to set the sensor's id to ac_status.

Don't have a temperature sensor

Remove this line. If you don't define it, then it would default to a null_ptr and it would not report the ability to sense current temperature.

daikinac->set_sensor(id(living_room_temperature));

I don't care about the internal clock of the air-conditioner

Replace the 1 to 0 in the .h file.

#define UPDATE_CLOCK 1

Change the IR LED pin

Modify this line in the .h file. See comments for details.

const uint16_t kIrLed = 4;
