Faikout WiFi-Smartcontroller und Kabel-Set

"Working great, way better than a wall smart switch. I plugged it into the S21 port on our Daikin and it's been rock solid since mid-October. It talks MQTT to a little controller I set up, which runs the aircon off our solar: it heats or cools to a comfortable temperature when there's spare sun, and runs fan-only fresh air during the day. My own setup also uses our phones to tell when someone's home, so it isn't running for an empty house. On top of that I've got a one-tap widget on my phone for Auto, Warm, Cool and Off. Easy install and great value. Highly recommend it for off-grid or solar setups."

Works fine. Using with home assistant automations for cold morning starts before peak electricity charges.
The device doesn't talk to Daikin phone apps, but is of no consequence because it's web page is just fine for manual control, and feels like an app if you put it onto your phone's home page anyway.
Cable selection and AC unit compatibility checks on the Faikin web site are easy to follow.

Ordered one as a tester, for a Daikin FTXV20UVMA (Cora) - D type cable. I have two other units. The test was in case the installation was too difficult or something ended up being impossible. Ultimately that proved to be unnecessary.

Hardest part was getting the plastic case off, rest was a breeze (with a caveat - I had Claude code help integrate it into HA). I was surprised that the unit could connect to my Deco x20 network as it doesn't advertise its 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands as separate networks, and I understand the faikout uses 2.4ghz, but it did.

Product was well packed and arrived quickly. Great experience, will be ordering for my other two units.

Easy to use and working as expected.

Bestellung, Lieferung, zwischenzeitliche Informationen....alles hervorragend ! Beste Grüße an Andrew aus Deutschland 😉

Super Anleitung, einfach zu installieren, funktioniert perfekt!

Perfect length.

works with FTXM..

I bought 2 - both working perfectly.

Amazing product, install was easy, thanks!

👍

Awesome, thank you so much for running this project! Really looking forward to receiving my units and to smarten up my Daikin system.

Works perfectly. Integrationwith Home Assistant was easy. No-hassle installation in the AC unit.

Works great

Super easy install. Works straight out if the box.

Plugged in quickly. Wasn’t hard to get into the unit with a YouTube video and basic lack of fear getting into appliances / electronics. Had it up and running in Home Assistant providing a wealth of data quickly and easy control from anywhere with real two way comms.

Took forever to find the ports to plug into on the board itself but that's not your fault. Loved the bottle opener freebie, how fun!

They're what i'm searching for my split. Now I can control my units without passing through the Daikin cloud.

Product came quickly and works as described. Although its not plug and play, only basic computer knowledge is required to have it operational. The hardware comes with detailed instructions and if thats not enough Andrew is exceptional with follow up assistance if required.

Works great! Great communication from the team, and pretty much plug and play device (though I had to set things up pretty extensively after plugging it in, but that's expected!). Installation was super simple.

Just brought and installed faikin type A cable for my old Daikin split after quite chat back and forth with responsive developer, and likewise short lead time from purchase to delivery.

Took about 1 hour for install wrestling to get the system open which is by far the most difficult part of the process. So if you are not comfortable with a screwdriver and figuring out how to get into things like this, maybe it is not for you.

Once I got to the PCB it took me about 30 seconds to identify the connector and plug it in. Less than 5 minutes to connect it to my wifi and get web access, and maybe about 10 minutes to configure it for MQTT for my HA (already have MQTT broker), and see it in MQTT entity in HA. Once there, it all works perfectly to monitor or control. I love having extra information like set, outdoor and indoor temperature, liquid temps, fan and compressor frequencies, as well as full control, and visibility that tracks whatever happens on the remote.

Totally recommend this for anyone who likes control and visibility and something that is all internal to the AC unit. Maybe not for people that are not comfortable to get their AC unit opened up. But it was not that hard either. So if in doubt see if you can get to the PCB (there is a generic video in the instructions which hopefully gives you enough of an idea, though mine was a little different and I needed to cover come those challenges), and purchase once you have got that far.

Works great!

Everything runs perfectly. Best way to integrate a Daikin air conditioner in Home Assistant.

Very simple, very well made. Excellent, top-quality workmanship.

Perfect

The device works exactly as advertised and installation was very straightforward and intuitive. The web interface works well and integration with Home Assistant was equally intuitive. Ordering and shipping was easy, quick, and the unit arrived in Canada in under 2 weeks.

Works as designed

Benutze jetzt schon 3 Module con Faikout. Funktionieren hervorragend mit Nodered, MQTT + iobroker!

Easy installation. Works great with Home Assistent over MQTT.

Works as expected - integrated in smart home (IPSymcon) - No pain installang it. Only the transport from Australia to Austria was nearly 4 weeks ....

Cumple con lo prometido.
Fantástico modo de controlar el sistema a distancia sin necesidad de modulos originales con sus precios abusivos.
Recomendado 100%
