The ferrule-blade ends land on the P1\/P2 terminals on the indoor unit's control board, on the block marked REMOTE CNTRL, and they sit in the screw terminals behind a wired wall controller such as a BRC1E.

The Ninja joins as the Sub. Anything already in the Sub position, such as an infrared receiver, has to come off first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you have a zone control kit, the whole kit counts as one device.\u003c\/strong\u003e The zone controller and the wall panel supplied with it are a single Main, not two devices, so the Sub slot is still free for the Ninja.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is work inside a live appliance.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are not comfortable opening the indoor unit, have your installer do it. It takes five minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNetwork setup\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery module ships flashed and tested. There is no firmware for you to install, and updates arrive over the air. The two-piece kit ships with your choice of\u003cstrong\u003e firmware builds\u003c\/strong\u003e, chosen at purchase.

You add it by scanning the Matter code in the app of your choice. On an iPhone no hub is needed. The others each need that platform's hub or speaker at the property. \u003cstrong\u003eThis build has no setup WiFi network of its own, so Matter pairing is the only way it joins your WiFi.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are not certain you have a Matter platform to pair with, choose option 1 WiFi.

The FD series is fine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCan I change from WiFi to Matter later?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. They are different firmware builds and the choice is made when you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eI also own a Daikin zone controller. Will it still work?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually yes, and more easily than people expect. Most modern zone controllers are kits: one device that handles the zones and the normal air conditioning functions together. The wall panel supplied with it, typically a BRC24 or BRC230 type, is an extension of the zone controller rather than a second device on the bus. So the kit counts as a single Main, and the Sub slot is still free for the Ninja. Connect at the indoor unit in that case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does cause trouble is something genuinely separate already sitting in the Sub position, such as an infrared receiver. That has to come off. Send us a photo of your controllers if you are not sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhere do I connect the cable?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhichever end is easier to reach, unless you have a zone control kit, in which case connect at the indoor unit. The one cable suits both, so there is nothing to choose at checkout. Send us a photo of your wall controller if you would rather we decided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDo I need Home Assistant?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The built-in web page works on its own, the WiFi build works with Apple Home, and the Matter build works with Apple Home and the rest without Home Assistant anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eI have an Altherma heat pump, not air conditioning.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will require a different product.
