Daikin Airbase smart home integration, free and open source

Daikin Airbase integration for Gladys Assistant

Daikin ducted air conditioning via a local Airbase (BRP15B61) adapter: mode, temperature, zones.

View on GitHubAll external integrations

Controls Daikin ducted air conditioning fitted with an Airbase (BRP15B61) Wi-Fi adapter, directly on your local network — no Daikin account or cloud.

Features​

  • Power, Mode (auto, cool, heat, dry, fan), Target temperature and Fan speed (auto, low, mid, high).
  • Indoor temperature, and Outdoor temperature when the unit reports it.
  • One switch per zone, named as in the Daikin Airbase app.

Configuration​

  1. In your router, give the adapter a fixed IP (DHCP reservation).
  2. Enter that IP in the Configuration tab (several adapters: separate with commas).
  3. Open the Discovery tab and create the device.

Troubleshooting​

  • No Airbase adapter answered — check the IP, and that http://<ip>/skyfi/common/basic_info opens in a browser on the same network.
  • Changes from the wall controller appear after the refresh interval (30 s by default).
  • Logs: docker logs on the integration container.

Configuration settings​

These are the settings Daikin Airbase asks for in its configuration screen in Gladys.

SettingTypeRequiredDescription
Airbase adapterssectionNoThe adapter is reached directly on your network, no Daikin account needed. Give it a fixed IP (a DHCP reservation on your router) so it keeps the same address.
Adapter IP address(es)stringYesOne or more, separated by commas, e.g. 192.168.1.50
Refresh interval (s)numberNoHow often the adapter is read; changes made from the wall controller or the Daikin app appear within this delay.

How to install Daikin Airbase in Gladys​

  1. In Gladys, open Integrations: Daikin Airbase appears in the catalog, next to the native integrations, with a community badge.
  2. Click Install. Gladys pulls the Docker image (ghcr.io/plsoftware/gladys-daikin-controller:0.1.1), starts it in a sandbox isolated from the core, and generates the integration's interface (devices, discovery and configuration).
  3. Open the Configuration screen of the integration, fill in the settings, and save.
  4. You can also install it directly from its repository URL: https://github.com/plsoftware/gladys-daikin-controller.

Daikin Airbase requires Gladys >=5.1.0. The catalog inside Gladys refreshes every hour, so a new version becomes available at most one hour after its release.

Not running Gladys yet? It is free and open source: follow the installation guide to get started.

About external integrations​

Daikin Airbase is an external integration: a community integration packaged as a Docker container and published on GitHub, that Gladys installs in one click and runs in a sandbox isolated from its core. It is published and maintained by plsoftware, not by the Gladys core team.
