# Daikin actions: control air conditioning from a Link’nX scenario

Context: 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](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-daikin-knx/) instead.

## Before you start

- The Daikin device is [declared](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-dga-devices/) 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

1. Open **Actions → Add**, then choose **Daikin** in **Select an action type**.
2. Enter **Name**, required, 64 characters maximum and not only spaces.
3. In **Daikin device**, select one or more declared devices. **Select all** acts on all the devices offered: review the targets before continuing.
4. 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. |

5. Click the round floppy disk at the bottom right. Wait for **Success!**, then find the action in the list.
6. To use it in an automation, [add it to the scenario concerned](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-compose-scenario/).

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

| 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

1. Open the name or the pencil of the action.
2. 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.
3. Save with the floppy disk. If affected scenarios are displayed, review their names, then click **SAVE**, or **CANCEL**.
4. Wait for **Updated!**.

The [common actions guide](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-action-edit/) describes duplication and unsaved changes.

## 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](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-run/), then watch the unit. To check the setpoint and the measured indoor temperature, use the [Daikin feedback](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-daikin-knx/) and keep these two values apart.

## 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.
