Just listened to the @atpfm intro from a few days ago. In case you have issues with your Daikin control in Home Assistant, @marcoarment, the inimitable @revk created the Faikout (nee Faikin) board. I have not personally used said board, but it ticks all my home automation local-control boxes, so I present it to you as an option should the official solutions prove to be sad. https://codeberg.org/RevK/ESP32-Faikout
