Upgrade your Daikin air conditioner with the Faikin WiFi smart controller—a plug-and-play, ESP32-based solution designed for homeowners, AirBNB hosts, and hotel owners who want reliable, local, and open-source automation. Faikin gives you deep control over your indoor climate, with no cloud dependency and seamless integration into your smart home setup.

What’s Included:

  • 1 × Faikin controller board (ESP32-based, Daikin-compatible)
  • Access to open-source ESP32-Faikout firmware and documentation on GitHub
  • Community support from other Faikin users

Key Features:

  • Ready to Use: Each Faikin module is flashed with the latest official RevK firmware and is plug-and-play. The controller is configured to self-update over the air when new stable firmware is released, with user control via the web interface
  • Hand-made Cables: All cables are crafted in Canberra using high-quality, high-temperature silicon or PVC insulated wires and genuine JST and Molex connectors. Choose from seven cable types (A–G) to match your Daikin indoor unit’s connector
  • Comprehensive Compatibility: Over 80 Daikin indoor unit models are confirmed to work with Faikin and the appropriate cable. If your model isn’t listed, contact support with your unit details for personalised advice
  • No-Risk Purchase: If your Faikin + cable set isn’t compatible with your unit, return it for a full refund—return postage covered. The aim is to expand the confirmed-working list, not leave customers with unusable hardware

Cable Types:

  • Type A: Standard S21 ports (JST EHR-5), power and data on one lead.
  • Type B: Smaller S21 ports (JST PAP-05V-S), both power and data.
  • Type C: X50A socket for data, X35A for power (JST ZHR-8 & XHP-2).
  • Type D: S403 sockets, hand-made for original Type D plug (JST XAP-10V-1).

  • Type G: CN_WIRED or CN_WIRE connector (JST PHR-5).

How to Choose the Right Cable:

  • Refer to the “Wiring” and “List of confirmed working air con units” pages in the ESP32-Faikout GitHub wiki before ordering.
  • Compare your indoor unit model and PCB connectors to the documentation and product photos.
  • If unsure, contact support with your model number and a photo of your PCB for guidance.
