More Information

The main overlapping plugin is homebridge-daikin-oneplus, which is already verified and supports a broad Daikin One+ feature set: thermostat control, schedule, away mode, AQI, humidity targets, state switches, emergency heat, One Clean, and circulate fan controls.

homebridge-daikon-plus is intentionally more conservative. It focuses on the core Open API thermostat bridge: thermostat mode/setpoints, schedule state when present, outdoor temperature/humidity, and circulation fan support. It does not expose emergency heat as a separate HomeKit control, avoids extra state-machine behavior, and treats the Daikin API as the source of truth.

Most other Daikin Homebridge plugins target different device/API families: local adapters, Daikin Cloud AC APIs, Airbase/SkyFi, heat pumps, Modbus, or ESP8266-based control. This plugin is specifically for Daikin One Open API-compatible thermostats and should be listed so users can choose the smaller, Open API-focused implementation.
