Controlling daikin airco with DzVentz, not consistent

[Jumper3126]

Hi all,

I try to make a script in dzVentz to control my Daikin airco, which I have as a Daikin Airconditioning with LAN (HTTP) interface hardware in Domoticz 4.10717.
For now I have been using the following test script:

Code: Select all

return {
	active = true,

	on = {
		timer = {'every minute'}
	},

    execute = function(domoticz, device)
        local AircoSP = domoticz.devices(1087)      --Temp Setpoint (airco) Thermostat	    SetPoint
        local AircoPower = domoticz.devices(1085)   --Power (airco)	        Light/Switch	Switch 
        local AircoMode = domoticz.devices(1086)    --Mode (airco)	        Light/Switch	Selector: 0 Off, 10	AUTO, 20 DEHUMDIFICATOR, 40	HOT, 50	FAN
        local AircoVent = domoticz.devices(1088)    --Ventillation (airco)	Light/Switch	Selector: 0	Off, 10	AUTO, 20 Silence, 30 Lev 1, 40 Lev 2, 50 Lev 3, 60 Lev 4, 70 Lev 5
        local AircoWind = domoticz.devices(1089)    --Winds (airco)	        Light/Switch	Selector: 0 Off, 10 Stopped, 20 Vert, 30 Horiz, 40 Both

--          AircoPower.switchOn()
            AircoMode.switchSelector(10)         -- Selector: 0 Off, 10	AUTO, 20 DEHUMDIFICATOR, 40	HOT, 50	FAN
            AircoSP.updateSetPoint(19)
            AircoVent.switchSelector(10)          --Selector: 0	Off, 10	AUTO, 20 Silence, 30 Lev 1, 40 Lev 2, 50 Lev 3, 60 Lev 4, 70 Lev 5
            domoticz.notify('Mode:'..AircoMode.state..' Vent:'..AircoVent.state..' Temp:'..AircoSP.state)

end
}

I'm able to adjust single parameters via the script, like change in setpoint or turn on/off. However, when I try to change other parameters (mode, vent), or give multiple instructions at once the airco doesnt always take over the settings, sometimes it does when the instructions are repeated but also sometimes it doesn't . I havent been able to figure out what the problem is. Can the airco not handle multiple instructions directly after each other, or is the communication not so reliable at all? Is there any solution for this?

Thanks

I use a blocky "program" for my new Daikin airco (see my recentlyccreated thread with blocky control in the Heating and cooling section of the forum). In my experience switching mode to Cool or Heat doesn't work reliable. It sometimes works, but often it does not. In the log I see communication errors at the same time.
Strangely changing the setpoint and putting the airco on or off almost always does seem to work
