Daikin Aircon Controller

This skill controls Daikin air conditioners over local WiFi. It supports multiple devices, automatic discovery, full control, and multi-location setups.

Device Lookup

When user specifies a device, match in this order: 1. Exact match on id (case-insensitive, spaces→hyphens) 2. Exact match on name (case-insensitive) 3. Fuzzy match (ignore spaces/hyphens)

If multiple matches found: Ask user to specify location (e.g., "Which one? 'bedroom' at home or beach-house?")

Duplicate Devices (Same Name, Different Locations)

Same device ID/name is allowed in different locations: - living-room @ home - living-room @ beach-house

The unique key is locationId:id. When adding, error only if same location + same ID exists.

Adding Devices - Setup Flow

Follow this step-by-step when user wants to add a device:

Step 1: Required Info

Ask for: - Device name: e.g., "Living Room", "Bedroom", "Master Bedroom" - IP address: e.g., "192.168.1.100"

Step 2: Optional - Multiple Houses?

Ask: "Do you have multiple houses/locations? (e.g., home, beach-house, office)" - If yes → Ask for location name (e.g., "Family Home", "Beach House") - Auto-generate locationId from location name (lowercase, spaces→hyphens)

Step 3: Optional - Multiple ACs in Same Room?

Ask: "Do you have multiple ACs in the same room?" - If yes → Append to device name (e.g., "Living Room - Ceiling", "Living Room - Floor")

Step 4: Optional - Device Type

Ask: "Do you know your device type?" - Options: BRP069, BRP072C, BRP084, AirBase, SkyFi - If BRP072C → Ask for API key (printed on adapter inside unit) - If SkyFi → Ask for password

Step 5: Verify & Add

Show summary, confirm with user, then call daikin_add.

Usage Examples

First Time Setup

User: Set up my Daikin AC
Agent: Let's add your AC! What's a name for it? (e.g., living-room, bedroom)
User: Living room
Agent: What's the IP address?
User: 192.168.1.101
Agent: Do you have multiple houses or locations?
User: Yes, at the beach
Agent: What's the location name? (e.g., Beach House)
User: Beach House
Agent: Adding "Living Room" at 192.168.1.101 (Beach House)... Done!

Multi-Location

User: Add bedroom at the beach house too
Agent: What's the IP for the beach house bedroom?

Controlling Devices

User: Set living room to 22 degrees
Agent: [Sets Living Room to 22°C]

User: Turn off
Agent: [Turns off default device]

User: What's the temperature in bedroom?
Agent: [Shows bedroom status - if multiple, asks which location]

Temperature Format

• ✅ Correct: "22.5", "23.0"
• ❌ May not work: "22"

Troubleshooting

• Device not found: Check IP, ensure same network subnet
• Connection timeout: Verify IP with ping
• Authentication failed: Check API key (BRP072C)
• Multiple matches: Specify location with locationId
