PyGUI-Daikin-control

This library provides a graphical user interface (GUI) based on Python3 and PyQt5 to control a Daikin air conditioning unit.

No air conditioner is controlled yet! There is only an output in the terminal.

Examples

Inspired by the web interface of the user "ael-code": https://github.com/ael-code/daikin-control

Quick Start

1. sudo apt install git python3 python3-pyqt5
2. git clone https://github.com/DIY-Blub/PyGUI-Daikin-control.git
3. cd PyGUI-Daikin-control/
4. python3 ./Daikin.py

Informations

• Most settings (e.g. texts, positioning, colours,...) can be changed in the config file AC-control-system.config
• The connection to the air conditioner must be made in the Python file under the method setDaikinAC.

Implementation options

1. As a standalone solution:

see Quick Start

2. To your own main using a QWidget container

from Daikin import *

DialogAC = QtWidgets.QWidget(YourMainWindow.WidgetName)

DaikinGUI = DaikinAC_control()

DaikinGUI.setupUI(DialogAC)

3. To your own main using a QPushButton

from Daikin import *

DialogAC = QtWidgets.QDialog()

DaikinGUI = DaikinAC_control()

DaikinGUI.setupUI(DialogAC)

YourMainWindow.PushButtonName.clicked.connect(lambda: DialogAC.show())

Todo: connect to a Daikin air conditioning unit

• with MQTT and Node-RED: https://github.com/Apollon77/daikin-controller (untested)
• or with Python: https://github.com/ael-code/daikin-aricon-pylib (untested)
