Usage
This page explains how to use your Daikin devices day to day in Jeedom: find your equipment, understand available commands, display them on the dashboard, and integrate them into scenarios.
Find your devices
- Open Plugins → Daikin ONECTA.
- Your devices appear under My devices, as cards.
They are added automatically during the first sync. There is no “Add device” button.
Customize a device
Click the device card to access its configuration:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Rename the device (e.g. “Living room AC”) |
| Parent object | Attach it to a room or floor in your home automation |
| Category | Heating, comfort, etc. |
| Enable | Enable or disable the device |
| Visible | Show or hide the device on the dashboard |
Device information
In the Device tab, a box shows information reported by Daikin:
| Information | Use |
|---|---|
| Model | Your device reference |
| Serial number | Unique identifier |
| Firmware version | Embedded software version |
| Error code | Possible alert code — check your device manual or Daikin support if a code is shown |

Multi-zone devices
Some models, especially Altherma heat pumps, have several independent zones. In that case, you will see separate commands for each zone:
- Zone 1: main heating
- Zone 2: domestic hot water, or second heating zone
Each zone has its own power, mode, and setpoint commands.
Display on the dashboard
To control your devices from the Jeedom home screen:
- Open the device and go to the Commands tab.
- Make visible the commands you want to display (checkbox in the Options column).
- Add them to your dashboard via the Jeedom design configurator.
Binary commands (on/off) appear as buttons. Temperature setpoints appear as sliders.
Tip: for daily use, make at least State, Operation Mode, and Temperature Control visible.
Use in scenarios
Your Daikin devices can be integrated into any Jeedom scenario, like other equipment.
Examples
Summer comfort:
If living room temperature > 26°C → Turn on AC in cooling mode, setpoint 24°C
Night mode:
At 10:00 PM → Enable Eco mode on all air conditioners
Vacation:
When “Away” mode is active → Enable Preset Away on the heat pump
Energy saving:
If nobody is home → Turn off air conditioning
Return home:
When geolocation detects return → Turn on AC, auto mode, setpoint 22°C
To create a scenario, go to Tools → Scenarios and use your Daikin device commands as actions or conditions.
Modify commands
Commands are generated automatically by the plugin. You can:
- Rename a command
- Change its visibility
- Modify its unit or icon
Warning: avoid deleting automatically generated commands. They may be recreated on the next sync.
