Vertical direction - Floor heating

[rploeg]

Hi,

Great plugin! I have a Daikin wall model that has support for vertical 'floor heating airflow'. Would it be possible to add this as an option? This is coming as JSON of the diagnostics file:

},
"fanDirection": {
"vertical": {
"currentMode": {
"value": "stop",
"settable": true,
"values": [
"stop",
"swing",
"floorHeatingAirflow"
]
}
}

I've had the exact some question, is there anything I could provide to help get this option available in a new release?

[rospogrigio]

HA currently supports the swing modes listed here, and they are not customizable:
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/climate/

So, until something new comes out from HA's developers there is no way to introduce this, sorry.

[JacquesRodrigues]

That makes sense!
Thank you for your quick feedback.

On another note so far I'm really happy with the integration, thank you for your work on this.

[JacquesRodrigues]

Considering I was not really able to find that feature request, I've supplied a new topic to the HA developers:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/add-new-swing-modes-to-entity-climate/476388.

If anyone would like to upvote, please do!
Let's see if it helps.

Hello @rploeg, hello @JacquesRodrigues, I can try to implement the "Floor Heating" the same way I developed the "Comfort Airflow" (PR #29), but I don't have such option in my units, so I have two questions:

• is "Floor Heating" compatible with horizontal swing? I mean, can be "Floor Heating" enabled and horizontal swing enabled?
• could you please provide the full diagnostic data from HA of one unit while the "Floor Heating" is enabled?

Thanks

[rploeg]

That would be great:

1. No; I don't have a horizontal swing option in my Daikin app for the airco's that have floor heating. There is only a vertical airflow direction (options are: swing off, swing and floor warming)
2. See attached

Hi @rploeg, could you please try PR #105?

[rploeg]

Just did, created the feedback on the PR

I replaced original const.py and daikin_base.py with the updated "Floor heating" ones and it works fine with my Perfera floor standing units (Daikin FVXM35A/RXM35R). I even renamed it in the menu to Floor Warming to match Onecta name. Also tried it in automation and is working fine also. Great thanks for that!

Would be much easier/cleaner when the HA would split swing mode in a separate horizontal and vertical value, see https://community.home-assistant.io/t/split-climate-swing-mode-in-horizontal-and-vertical/655020

Can you try https://github.com/jwillemsen/daikin_residential_altherma/releases/tag/v3.1.0, made some changes to support more swing modes today
