In the past, I’ve saw this service. I looked at the documentations and I have no clue what I can do with it. Besides, at that time I was still living with my parents and the only thing I had was just a computer and there wasn’t any smart devices available for me to play with.
Fast foward till today, living under my own home with a few smart devices, I can now self-host this and create various controls for the devices such as AC, Fan, Air Purifier and Smart Plugs.
It feels really satisfying to be able to configure all of these. What’s even better is that I’ve found out there’s hidden APIs implemented into the Daikin integration. With the official app, all one is able to do is just control the AC. But in Home Assistant, I could view the Power Consumption of the Compressor, at least. Wow!
What’s more, I could now perform more robust and flexible automations instead of limited to what the official apps provide.
