Broader Temperature Range Values for other markets.

[actionpotato]

I just got my first Faikin installed, and it is fantastic. I have one running on a FTXS18WVJU9. It has integrated with Home Assistant Perfectly. (Still need to install the other four)

Please note, I am in the United States, so my Daikin Models are probably very different from the UK.

One concern I have, is that the lowest possible Temperature I can set for heating seems to be 16 C or ~61 F. And the Highest possible value I can set is 32 C ~90 F.

In Home Assistant I obviously get the same values. However, when using the Official Daikin Wifi Modules BRP072A43 I get a minimum heat value of 45 F ~7 C, and a maximum of 95 F ~35 C.

Is it possible to give the Faikin the same range for heating? 60 F is too warm for the garage we have in the winter, we only need around 50-55 F. I am not sure the best or safest way to accomplish this - maybe a flag for other markets in settings?

When googling this problem, it seems that the EU versions of the Daikin systems go from 16 C to 32 C just as you have coded into the system (which is totally logical): https://www.daikinac.com/content/assets/DOC/Leaflet%20-%20BRC1E71%20-%20Daikin%20AC.pdf

These temp ranges of 45-95 F seem to match the IR remotes that came with my units as well. I am guessing the US systems are different in the total temp range?

Or perhaps am I just missing something in the directions for the Temp range and have mine set incorrectly?

I may be able to allow it to try a wide range - I'll look in the morning.

Sorry for the delay.

As I thought, we already handle this. There are settings which can be set via MQTT for min and max temperatures (in Celsius).

Do you have MQTT set up?

[actionpotato]

Ah, I figured you might! Yes, I have MQTT set up, and I am using Home Assistant with the Faikin.

OK sending setting/nameoffaikin/tmin with a payload of the min (Celsius) value, integer, will set the min. Same with tmax for maximum. That should do what you need.

Awesome, thanks so much. Hope you get lots of sales on these great little units!

Thanks, tell your friends :-)
