What is a Faikin?

A Faikin is a small WiFi electronic module that's compatible with most Daikin Air Conditioning units. When the smart controller 'module' is plugged in, it enables your smart phone or desktop computer to locally command and automate standard functions of the AC unit.


Compatibility

It's a perfect solution for Home Assistant enthusiasts where automation is the goal. A Faikin allows full local control over MQTT and it integrates natively with Home Assistant. Any platform supporting MQTT, such as openHAB, Node-RED and other open-source hubs, or bridges to MQTT devices - for example, via Homebridge, Google Home or Alexa integrations, can be used to control a Faikin.

Faikin for homeowners

It's a perfect solution if you want to remotely operate the 'on/off' and 'temperature' controls of the AC unit with your device, from wherever you are. A Faikin enables home automation systems, smart connectivity, WiFi, geofencing, outdoor temperature display and time-ready for daylight savings.

Short Term Rental and Hotel owners get control

Guest still maintain their primary control, but landlords save more electricity when they set a power limit for the unit's output before, during, or after a guest stay. STR owners can reduce power wastage because they have deeper oversight of how guests use power. A Faikin can synchronise an AC unit to the platform of a booking calendar (AirBNB). You can pre-warm or pre-cool accommodation based on the guests' time of arrival. Stop guests leaving AC units turned on after they check out, you can turn the AC off remotely.

A Faikin helps to save electricity

A Faikin allows you to react quickly to an energy pricing spike with automated temperature adjusting, and 'on/off'. Anyone can save, but it is perfect for wholesale and time-of-use electricity buyers.

Remove the barriers with a Faikin

No more frustrating cloud-based services and restrictions on API access which require constant internet connection. No more electricy consumption guess work.

Awesome much simpler and way more economical than any "genuine" options ;-)

Bernard OCustomer

Easy as to install and configure. 3D printed a case for it.

Troy HCustomer

Easy to install as long as you have a bit of common sense around electrics. Connected to home assistant without any hiccups and hasn't lost connection since. Also loved the little surprise lollies that came with the package. Delicious. Will buy another one for our second daiken unit next pay day.

Simon ECustomer

Picked up one of these, works great on its own, even better via HomeBridge with Apple Home

Jason GCustomer

Great product at a great price delivered quickly with brilliant before and after sales service. An example to how other businesses should run. Photos provided made the Faikin easy to install with cables supplied. My Daikin was remote controlled before I even got down from the roof after installing!

Rob SCustomer

Andrew provided great support getting the right cable selected and the product arrived fast and safe and worked perfectly.

JulianCustomer

The shipment was really fast, the documentation is good, and it's almost a plug-and-play solution to make your old Daikin smart. Thank you very much! I'm very happy with the product

Regis-Martin SCustomer

Excellent Product, Service, and Help for Customers. Delivery from Australia to Canada went quickly. I'm surprised at how little it cost for such a well-designed board and smart software. Faikout is the way to go.

Keith DCustomer

Works a treat. Fantastic product! It has allowed me to replace a previous IR product that required a cloud connection to function.

Adam JCustomer

Literally plug and play for two of my Daikin AC's. I thought installation would mean pulling apart the unit, but that was only necessary for a couple of older units. On the newer units I just plugged it into the diagnostics cable and was off and running!

Peter KCustomer

Everything worked as expected and was simple to install. Connectors were a direct fit so definitely worth it! Took a moment to find the settings link once connected, but that’s more on me for not understanding that I was setting the hostname right off the bat. Easy to use and access after that!

MikeCustomer

Easy connection and great support (from my stuff up). Works perfectly with Home Assistsant

AMCustomer

"Fantastic! ESP32 mounted onto a beautiful, top-quality purpose-built PCB, and pre-flashed with the latest Faikin software.

Installation was a breeze. Fraction of the cost of other solutions, and better. Thrilled!"

YCustomer

"Product was perfect and just what I had been looking for - for years. Product was easy to install and everything just worked with no issues. Customer support messaging was well above 5 stars. Helped me to work through what cables I needed for my ducted AC unit."

U5Customer

"Very helpful seller. They provided prompt technical advice prior to purchase. And I was able to install all the equipment and get it all up and running very quickly.

This is a great option for those looking to smarten up their existing devices."
