What is a Faikin?

A Faikin is a small electronic module that's compatible with most Daikin air conditioning units. When you plug it into the AC, it enables WiFi, so your smart phone or desktop computer can locally control and automate the standard AC functions.

Home Assistant compatibility and more

It's a perfect solution for home automation and Home Assistant enthusiasts who want full local control over MQTT and native integration. There are many platforms that can be used to control a Faikin such as MQTT, openHAB, Node-RED and other open-source hubs. As well as bridges to MQTT devices via Homebridge, Google Home or Alexa integrations.

Homeowners

Got kids at home running the AC too hot/cold!? A Faikin hands you control with your device to remotely operate 'on/off' and temperature changes - from wherever you are. Control home automation systems, smart connectivity, WiFi, geofencing, outdoor temperature display and time-ready for daylight savings.

Short Term Rental and Hotel owners

While Guests maintain their primary AC control, it's now possbile to reduce energy wastage inside the accommodation. The Host can operate the AC's 'on/off' function before a Guest arrival, during and after their stay. An energy pricing spike is no longer a worry because the Host can lower the AC's total power output to save even more. Impress your Guests by synchronising your booking calendar to pre-warm (or pre-cool) accommodation based on their timing of arrival, and expertly manage all units to turn off the moment a Guest checks out.

Save electricity

Average households can now react to energy pricing spikes with automated temperature adjusting, or by turning the unit 'on/off' remotely. It's perfect for wholesale and time-of-use electricity buyers who want to track comsumption more closely.

Barriers removed

Faikin removes the barrier of needing constant internet connection. No more frustrating cloud-based services and restrictions on API access. No more electricy consumption guess work.

Testimonials

AuthorCustomer

Awesome, much simpler, and more economical than any 'genuine' options.

Bernard OCustomer

Easy as to install and configure. 3D printed a case for it.

Troy HCustomer

Easy to install with a bit of common sense around electrics. Connected to home assistant without any hiccups and hasn't lost connection since. Also loved the little surprise lollies that came in the pack. Delicious. Will buy another for a second Daikin unit next pay day.

Simon ECustomer

I picked up one of these, it works great on its own and even better via HomeBridge with Apple Home.

Jason GCustomer

This is a great product at a great price, delivered quickly with brilliant before and after sales service. This is an example for how other businesses should run. Photos provided made Faikin easy to install with cables supplied. My Daikin was remote-controlled even before I got down from the roof after installing!

Rob SCustomer

Andrew provided great support getting the right cable selected and the product arrived fast and safe, and worked perfectly.

JulianCustomer

The shipment was really fast, the documentation is good, and it's almost a plug-and-play solution to make your old Daikin smart. Thank you very much! I'm very happy with the product.

Regis-Martin SCustomer

Excellent Product, Service, and Help for Customers. Delivery from Australia to Canada went quickly. I'm surprised at how little it cost for such a well-designed board and smart software. Faikout is the way to go.

Keith DCustomer

Works a treat. Fantastic product! It has allowed me to replace a previous IR product that required a cloud connection to function.

Adam JCustomer

Literally plug n' play for two of my Daikin AC's. I thought installation would mean pulling apart the unit, but that was only necessary for a couple of older units. On the newer units I just plugged it into the diagnostics cable and was off and running!

Peter KCustomer

Everything worked as expected and was simple to install. Connectors were a direct fit so definitely worth it! Took a moment to find the settings link once connected, but that’s more on me for not understanding I was setting the hostname right off-the-bat. Easy to use and access after that!

MikeCustomer

Easy connection and great support (from my stuff-up). Works perfectly with Home Assistant.

AMCustomer

"Fantastic! ESP32 mounted onto a beautiful, top-quality purpose-built PCB, and pre-flashed with the latest Faikin software.

Installation was a breeze. Fraction of the cost of other solutions, and better. Thrilled!"

YCustomer

"Product was perfect and just what I had been looking for - for years. Product was easy to install and everything just worked with no issues. Customer support messaging was well above 5 stars. Helped me to work through what cables I needed for my ducted AC unit."

U5Customer

"Very helpful seller. They provided prompt technical advice prior to purchase. And I was able to install all the equipment and get it all up and running very quickly.

This is a great option for those looking to smarten up their existing devices."
