Daikin actions: control air conditioning from a Link’nX scenario
Link’nXAdministratorInstaller
Link’nX web: Actions form, Daikin type, for a declared Daikin device
A Daikin action in Link’nX sends a command to one or more declared Daikin air conditioning units: on/off, mode, temperature setpoint, fan speed, slats direction or special mode. Added to a scenario, it becomes a step in your automations.
Intended for administrators and installers. To control the unit directly from the KNX bus, use the Daikin KNX commands and feedback instead.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- The Daikin device is declared in the project and gateway concerned.
- You know the adapter and the model of the unit. The availability of functions depends on them: not every command offered in the form is supported by every model.
Create the Daikin action
Section titled “Create the Daikin action”- Open Actions → Add, then choose Daikin in Select an action type.
- Enter Name, required, 64 characters maximum and not only spaces.
- In Daikin device, select one or more declared devices. Select all acts on all the devices offered: review the targets before continuing.
- In Daikin command, choose the command, then fill in its parameter when it appears.
| Command in Actions | Parameter |
|---|---|
| Toggle | State: Enabled or Disabled. This choice requests a specific state; it does not automatically invert the current state. |
| Turn on, Turn off | No parameter. Turn on resumes the last mode; Turn off stops the unit without changing its stored mode. |
| Mode selection | Mode: Auto, Heat, Cool, Fan or Dehumidification. |
| Temperature setpoint | Temperature: from 10 to 32 °C, in steps of 0.5. |
| Fan speed | Speed: Auto, Speed 1 to Speed 5, or Silent. |
| Slats direction | Direction: Off, Vertical, Horizontal or Both. |
| Powerful mode, Econo mode, Streamer air purifier, Holiday mode, Comfort mode, Outdoor unit quiet mode | State: Enabled or Disabled, depending on the functions available on the device. |
- Click the round floppy disk at the bottom right. Wait for Success!, then find the action in the list.
- To use it in an automation, add it to the scenario concerned.
A temperature outside 10 to 32 °C is refused in this form; a fictitious setpoint of 22.5 °C respects the range and the step. Choose modes and speeds by their labels: the numeric values from the KNX table are not entered in their place. A mode change can turn the unit back on; to stop it, use Turn off.
Choose a special mode according to the adapter
Section titled “Choose a special mode according to the adapter”| Mode | Adapters and models | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Powerful mode | Depending on the model | The unit must be on and the function supported. Enabling it excludes Econo mode and, where they exist, Comfort mode and Outdoor unit quiet mode. Disabling it is not a general stop command for the unit. |
| Econo mode | Depending on the model | Mutually exclusive with Powerful mode. |
| Streamer air purifier, Holiday mode | Classic BRP069 adapters | Not available through this integration on adapters running firmware 2.8.0 or later. On classic adapters, an active Holiday mode locks the other special modes: to adjust them again, check this mode and disable it first if that matches your need. |
| Comfort mode, Outdoor unit quiet mode | Generation running firmware 2.8.0 or later, depending on the model’s functions | Do not apply to classic BRP069 adapters. |
If the generation, the model or a function remains uncertain, contact support. Do not change the firmware to make a command appear without an appropriate procedure.
Edit a Daikin action
Section titled “Edit a Daikin action”- Open the name or the pencil of the action.
- Check the targets, the command and its value. After a command change, the value is cleared: choose the new command’s parameter again. A temperature cannot be used as a mode or a speed.
- Save with the floppy disk. If affected scenarios are displayed, review their names, then click SAVE, or CANCEL.
- Wait for Updated!.
The common actions guide describes duplication and unsaved changes.
Check the result
Section titled “Check the result”Saving the action does not run it and does not confirm an actual temperature. For a test, run the action or the scenario, then watch the unit. To check the setpoint and the measured indoor temperature, use the Daikin feedback and keep these two values apart.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Disabled is not a missing value: select it explicitly to turn off the chosen mode. This choice is accepted; an empty field is not.
- No temperature in Fan or Dehumidification mode: the setpoint is not necessarily exposed in these modes.
- The test has no effect: if you only saved, the action has not been run. Otherwise, check the target, the command chosen and the availability of this function; for Powerful, also check that the unit is on. A lack of response does not allow you to conclude that the device is faulty.
If these tests have already failed, contact support@can-nx.com with the context, the model, the command, the value and the checks done.
