[Issue]: Missing data with new cloud API

[jwillemsen]

When you are interested in any of the data below report a feature request to Daikin!

When you want to know which Daikin has for your device, you can request the data through the EU Data Act.

A quick comparison between the old and new cloud API shows less sensors in HA:

1. streamer mode
2. econo mode
3. delta D
4. dry keep setting
5. fan motor rotation speed
6. heat exchanger temperature
7. suction temperature
8. Wifi diagnostics
9. fanControl floorHeatingAirflow,
10. demand control
11. eco mode (supported by D2CND Gas boiler)
12. Outdoor Silent
13. Intelligent Eye
14. hvac action (is the device currently heating, cooling, or idle)
15. debiet
16. ledEnabled
17. indoor and outdoor temperatures are only updated in Home Assistant when the AC unit is running, onecta app does always show the correct temperature
18. compressor frequency
19. pressure in the aerothermal circuit

The following sensors are provided by Daikin but aren't exposed as separate sensors to HA anymore, use the climate and water heater entities, see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/climate and https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/water_heater

1. On/Off
2. Powerful
3. OperationMode

The following issues are known:

1. Powerful mode doesn't work with BRP069Cx devices, should be fixed with 1.31.0 firmware

We would like to also see the following data to be exported:

1. Data to calculate the COP
2. Schedule names as shown in the Onecta app, currently schedule ids are exported and name is empty
3. Thermal output (provided in the Onecta app for newer DX units)
4. Internal sensors like flow rate, pressure, and others which are shown on the internal screen of the Altherma
5. Which energy source is using in realtime (electricity or methane) for a hybrid HPU
6. Variable for an altherma to know whether it is currently heating/cooling or doing a sww run
7. Backup heater on/off
8. defrost running
9. Daikin Home Controls

The following issues are found in the Daikin documentation

1. No documentation for humidification operation mode
2. Flags as documented as part of the user interface are not matching the json
3. Some calls return a 422 (holidaymode for example) which is not documented
4. The possible units are not documented

The following limitations in HA are related

1. No humidity hvac mode as part of the climate entity (see climate: support for humidification devices home-assistant/architecture#288)

The following features would be helpful

1. Push model where Daikin pushes device changes to HA instead of having to poll
2. API daily limit based on the amount of daikin devices instead of a hard global limit
3. Local control without the Daikin Onecta cloud

9. demand control

Does that mean you can’t turn it on/off anymore when for example a window is opened? That’s one of the main features I’m using it for.

That is still possible, but through the climate entity, I added a link to that. Before there was a separate onOffMode but that broke the caching in some use cases

[AbeltjeNL]

I added the new integration as described but there are no devices synced back to HA. Am I missing something?

Please open a new issue and attach your log and the integration diagnostics (see readme)

[jwillemsen]

At the moment demand control is exported again by Daikin the DaikinDemandSelect class needs to be updated to work with the coordinator

[OcinO88]

First of all: Thanks for all your great work! I'm glad I can re-add daikin to HA again. Now to get all my automations working again.
Do you happen to know when the ECO setting will be available again?

[jwillemsen]

Please contact Daikin for ECO mode, they currently don’t provide it with the new API

[Webreaper]

I don't know if it's ever been available, even in the old integration, but if there's any way to get the system pressure (in bar) out of the API, now or in the future, it would be handy for setting up an automation to alert me when I need to clamber up in the loft and bleed the buffer tank. :)

Thanks for the new integration though - it was great to find it when my Altherma graphs started flatlining in HA yesterday!

That data is not exported by Daikin to the cloud, see the integration diagnostics for the raw data we retrieve from Daikin. For the Altherma Daikin announced the home hub, see https://www.daikin.eu/en_us/products/product.html/EKRHH.html which should provide more data.

Hi
I just switched to this daikin integration in HA and notice that the 'firmware update' sensor is missing.
Maybe you could add this one to the list above.

It's mentioned here:
https://developer.cloud.daikineurope.com/docs/b0dffcaa-7b51-428a-bdff-a7c8a64195c0/supported_features
Look at the "User interface info" tab and then "firmwareUpdate"
The desciption of firmwareUpdate is: "This specifies if a new firmware version is available. Three types are available:..."

It would be great if I could see any available updates in HA. At this moment I don't get notified in anyway.

Note; I see the sensor "Gateway Is Firmware Update Supported" but thats something else.
