ESP32-Faikin: ESP32 based module to control Daikin aircon units

read original related products more articles

Everyone knows Daikin make some of the best air conditioners out there, mechanically speaking. Sadly their WiFi control modules are not so good, especially the latest models which are all cloud based, require an internet connection to even work, and are slow.

This code/module provides local control via web interface, MQTT, and HomeAssistant integration, all with no cloud crap.

There is also a new Faikin Remote Control available, BLE linked to the Faikin, with environmental sensors, available on Tindie now.

PCB designs are included, and also available to buy on Tindie, and on Amazon UK. There are other people making and selling, e.g. on eBay Australia.
