Daikin Infrared Control

[gregoinc]

Greetings,

I currently use a NodeMCU running ESPEasy to control my Daikin air conditioner via an infrared LED attached to the NodeMCU. The ESPEasy simulates sending infrared commands to the Daikin air conditioner as though the commands were coming from the Daikin infrared remote control.

I am migrating away from ESPEasy to a Raspberry Pi running Domoticz, and I was wondering if there is similar functionality in Domoticz to control an air conditioner via an infrared LED connected to a Raspberry Pi GPIO?

Have done a few searches but have only found chatter about controlling Daikin via HTTP control. Appreciate any advice.

Thanks, Mark

Hello
I think it's a waste of time to play with esp and IR. One IR diode has a short range, it will serve one device.

Hi There,

Thanks for the reply. I am only looking to control a single infrared air conditioner... so a $1 LED versus a $35 controller doesn't make a compelling argument. No doubt you are happy with the device, however I just cannot justify that cost to control a single air conditioner. Especially since at the moment the infrared LED on the NodeMCU works perfectly fine.

Thanks, Mark
