Can't turn on the air conditioning

Configuration
1

Hello, first I have to apologize for my bad English. I’m not a native speaker:

Gladys: 4.82.0

Matterbridge: 3.9.4

Plugin: matterbridge-daikin-onecta 0.1.1

Part 1: Getting the Data from Onecta (2 Devices) … perfect and smooth

Part 2: Devices in Matterbridge… OK … configuration possible

Part 3: Devices in Gladys: … OK … here they are:

But: No On/Off Possibility … can’t start or stop them

No Possibility to switch between cooling and/or heating.

Developer describes: … on/off and status change are possible…

Daikin 21: No Speed Control is shown

Daikin 21: Fan Speed Control possible

Daikin 21: Fan Mode possible (Slow - Fast etc.)

Daikin 18: Temperature possible

Daikin Boost: Boost mode possible

I tried a few configurations in Matterbridge, but nothing changed … no On/Off or mode change

What can I do?

Hi, thank you for the detailed report. Your configuration is correct.

matterbridge-daikin-onecta exposes power and operating mode through the Matter Thermostat SystemMode attribute. Gladys 4.82.0 does not support this attribute yet: it currently handles the room temperature and heating/cooling setpoints only.

This explains why the temperatures are available, while On/Off and Heat/Cool selection are missing. Fan and Boost are separate Matter endpoints, which is why Gladys can display them.

Unfortunately, there is currently no Matterbridge configuration that can work around this. Support for Thermostat.SystemMode needs to be added to Gladys. Your report is useful for implementing and testing it.

Thanks for your quick response; at least, I now know the cause of the problem and all that’s left is to hope — or wait — for a solution. Don’t hesitate to let me know if I can help. Currently, I have two Daikin air conditioning units on the Onecta cloud…

@ruegerth thanks for the suggestion! I actually just finished implementing this feature and I’m looking for testers now :slight_smile:

If you have some time to try it out, your feedback would be really appreciated:
