BRP069A41

Hi @bendews,
Thanks alot for the integration, it is absolutely amazing, very helpful in my solution.
I have few question if you could advice regarding them:
1- My unit is FBA-A and i am using the controller BRP069A41, it supports 3 level fan control not 5.
2- Can i change the limit of the temperature to just between 16-32 instead of it going all the way to 100.
3- The only thing not working is the “Auto” mode, it does work on the daikin app, but it doesnt respond on SmartThings.
4- will there be an update to view consumption on SmartThings like on daikin app.

Thanks alot

Hi @max-rh,

1. Are you able to explain what behaviour you see when using the device handler? Does it only respond to levels 1, 2 and 3? Unfortunately I can not change the UI based on what's discovered about the device so I can't change this behaviour, but you can modify it yourself here but change the range values:
   

   smartthings-daikin-wifi/devicetypes/bendews/daikin-wifi-split-system.src/daikin-wifi-split-system.groovy

   Line 148 in a35c32e

   controlTile("fanRateSlider", "device.fanRate", "slider", height: 1, width: 1, range:"(1..5)") {

2. Unfortunately no. This is a long-standing bug in SmartThings. You can see I do actually limit the temperature range here but it gets ignored:
   

   smartthings-daikin-wifi/devicetypes/bendews/daikin-wifi-split-system.src/daikin-wifi-split-system.groovy

   Line 139 in a35c32e

   tileAttribute("device.targetTemp", key: "SLIDER_CONTROL", range:"(10..40)") {

3. I don't have any easy answers for this unfortunately. The BRP069A41 is one of the most common modules using this device handler and I have not heard anyone with the same issue so it may be model specific. I will look in to it regardless 👍
4. Unfortunately no, I don't use SmartThings any more and my Daikin app does not have consumption data so I wouldn't have a good idea of what I'm replicating, however this is a completely open-source project so anyone can extend the project to add consumption + scheduling support if they wish.

Thanks for your comment and feedback! 😄

Hi @bendews ,
Thanks alot for your response;

1. Regarding the fan rate: I managed to modify it by reducing the slider rate from 1-5 to 1-3 and modifying and the field values to just:
   @Field final Map DAIKIN_FAN_RATE = [ "A": "Auto", "B": "Silence", "3": "1", "4": "2", "5": "3",

2. Yeah, It seems that its a limitation in smartthings, I will consider changing it to another tile.

3. Thanks alot for your help regarding this, I noticed also that the auto fan mode does not change anythings on the daikin controller, but i think its still working, will this mode work from the device handler and change fan speed accordingly without any change in the controller ?

4. Its ok, I think i will pull these consumption to another platform for analytics purposes.

Thanks alot for your responce and support; I will keep this conversation here instead of SmartThings community :)

Update:

Hi @bendews , I Just managed to fix the "Auto Mode", it seems that the unit i have here only respond to "mode=1". "mode=0" and "mode=7" doesn't seems to work on this controller (I don't know why).
