I creates a remote control for Daikin aircon with skyfi
I have a multi-zone air conditioner and only one control. I understand that we can control with the mobile app, but I don't expect guests to need to install the app.
- on/off only – It will live in each one of the bedrooms and the only function is to turn on and off the aircon in that zone
- when turning it off, it will turn the unit off if that was the only zone in operation
- when turning it on, and the unit is off, it will turn off all other zones, turn on the current one and turn the unit on
- it will control the mode (cool, heat, ...), temperature and zones. Pretty much everything.
It aims to work with Arduino ESP32 and ESP8266, but it shouldn't be hard to work with any other with wifi connection.
It has option to work with
- OLED for the single zone controls
- TFT touch for master mode
The control leverage the AutoConnect library to expose a wifi AP that can be used to define which wifi network your controler is, the controller IP and the zone ID.
