Support for Daikin Air Purifiers

[jwillemsen]

As far as I found on the internet also the Daikin Air Purifiers are controlled using the onecta app, these are currently not supported by this integration. I don't have such a device to test, so user feedback is welcome

I've got the new MC80Z with the BRP069C4x , works ok except the humidity/fine dust "unit" are not picked up correctly.

Thanks for the json, looks you have a airPurificationModes which is not supported and some sensoryData for which configuration is lacking.

[jwillemsen]

I tried to add the configs, maybe you can try this branch and see if that fixes the units, see https://github.com/jwillemsen/daikin_residential_altherma/tree/jwi-purifier

[jwillemsen]

For airPurificationMode very likely a select should be added, see https://github.com/jwillemsen/daikin_residential_altherma/blob/master/custom_components/daikin_residential_altherma/select.py, demandControl is for the AC units.

With the update , the sensory data is nicely displayed :)

[jwillemsen]

Added a different icon for the air purification mode.

For control very likely a humidifier entity should be added (see https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/humidifier/)

I am just looking for this :) I know my weekend plan.

[jwillemsen]

@norbertjoni that would be great, please also add unit tests, I am using snapshots and mocks to test all sensors and updates

[norbertjoni]

I added my MC80Z unit and the sensors works fine, I will monitor the data but should be accurate.

Question: the update interval high and low what's the best settings? There is a limitation?

I can control the profile settings selection and off.
I don't have control for Operating mode and can't switch the device yet.

[jwillemsen]

There is a restriction to the number of calls you can make to the daikin cloud, see the General API Guidelines page on the daikin developer portal.

The sensors all should work, but there is no control yet, that is not implemented because I don't have a daikin air purifier (I do have an altherma and a split AC unit), still waiting on someone to sponsor that @Daikin-Europe ;-)
