GET required even for new adapters?

[tnowak]

Hi,
I have brand new Daikin Emura model: FTXJ-35MW/RXJ-35M (most probably: FTXJ35LV1BW)
It has (most probably) BRP069A41 Wifi Module with firmware 1.2.51 installed

ret=OK,type=aircon,reg=eu,dst=1,ver=1_2_51,rev=D3A0C9F [...]

Daikin Emura modelInfo.model=0D76
Daikin Emura deviceInfo.adapterKind=3
Daikin Emura deviceInfo.adapterVersion=1_2_51

I was getting "Wrong Parameters in request: ret=PARAM NG" errors when I tried to set any control settings, either via admin panel or MQTT.
Until I set sending changes with GET:

But it says only needed for older WLAN Firmwares.
Is my 1.2.51 firmware old?
Seems like sending commands over GET is kind of depracated here..

In the end it seems to be about the used WLAN adapter and the firware for this. my adapter has FW 3.3.6 :-)
So maybe this WLAN adapter only supports this. So I could just change the text :-)

But glad that it works for you when setting it to "GET".

In fact this is not really "deprecated" ... it is just an "alternative" way

Thanks @Apollon77
And thank you very much for this adapter. I keep fingers crossed for it's further development. Power measurements someday in the future would be very appreciated!

@Apollon77
BTW, I have two questions:

1. What does "Daikin Emura control.specialStreamer" functionality? Can't find it anywhere and when I change it to True it is set back to false.
2. Is there any way to enable "OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET" special mode? I have such option in my unit and it's very convenient to enable it for night mode not to annoy neighbors.

[Apollon77]

The Adapter can not really detect which functions a failing device has. Because of this there might be states that are not supported by your Device.
Streamer is „Flash STREAMER Air-Purifier“ mode.

For the night mode no information exist how this needs to be set and such because I do not have this. In worst case someone/you would need to get this via network sniffing from the app.

[Apollon77]

Ps can you set quiet night mode and intelligent eye (if you have it) via the daikin app or only via ir remote?

[tnowak]

Unfortunately option OUTDOOR UNIT QUIET is not present in current version of the mobile app yet. Also I don't see this option when doing /aircon/get_control_info (no difference in status when on and off). So we'd need probably wait for future firmware & app versions :/

[tnowak]

Yeah, you're right - intelligent eye is also not present in Daikin app. Only IR remote supports those two options right now apparently.

[Apollon77]

I would not really wait for it ;-) t is missing since years now ... you can contact daikin .. maybe a feature request for the app makes sense ;-) as soon as it is in there we could do something

[Apollon77]

For energy please add a „thumbs up“ to #37

[tnowak]

Thanks for the tip... :) I'm clearly new to this area...
I just made a app review in Google Play store asking for those two options. Not much but if others will add similar requests maybe sometime in the future Daikin will finally add it.

[Apollon77]

I reopen als reminder to adjust the admin text to say not "Old foirwares" but "1.x firmwares" :-)

Hi,

first tries with this adapter with the same configuration like Tomasz (same device, same WLAN device, same firmware)- funny.
But (may be) one difference: I set e.g. the temperature in the control part via "Objects" - but it seems like the device doesn't react. I double-checked with the App and the App confirms that the target temperature has not been changed. There are no messages in the log. Same is true if I change "Power" from "true" to "false" (or vice versa).
I also changed to the get method - but still no reactions.

Any hints, help?

Figured it out - I'm always setting the Acknowledge flag in the PopUp by default (don't know why - may be some bad experiences some years ago...). Everythings works fine now.

@Apollon77: Thanks for this adapter :) like for the many other things your are doing for iobroker.

[Apollon77]

I'm always setting the Acknowledge flag

First of all the popup only comes in expert mode ... so be careful

And in fact "ack=true" means "it is a value from tze device and NOT a command!
