Control your Daikin Ducted Air Conditioner from your iOS device. This app, in conjunction with Daikin’s BRP15A61 Wi-Fi Interface (SKYFi) will provide the majority of functions already available via the Daikin wall mounted remote control panel. Standard functions such as On/Off, temperature, fan speed and mode of operation are easily set or monitored via the App. Additional functions such as easy set timers, configuration settings, Dealer contact details and maintenance functions are also provided. If a Daikin Zone Controller is fitted to the air conditioner, the naming and remote control of zone dampers is also supported. Depending on the model of air conditioner, indoor and outdoor temperature is also displayed. If you do not have a home or local Wi-Fi network available, the SKYFi interface will act as a Wi-Fi Access Point and support a single Wi-Fi connection from your iOS device (provided the iOS device is within range). If you do have a home or local Wi-Fi network available, the SKYFi interface can be easily configured from the App to join your home or local Wi-Fi network by entering the Wi-Fi network ID and password. In this configuration, multiple iOS devices can access the air conditioner while retaining their Wi-Fi access to other devices on the network. If the home or local Wi-Fi network has permanent connection to the Internet, it is possible to control the air conditioner from anywhere in the world where Internet access is available to your iOS device. There is no Daikin subscription cost for this service, however local network access charges may apply. This application requires a compatible Daikin Air Conditioner fitted with Daikin Wi-Fi Remote Control Interface BRP15A61. The zone control functionality also requires the Daikin Air Conditioner to be fitted with a Daikin Zone Controller (model BRC24Z4, BRC24Z8, BRC230Z4 or BRC230Z8) along with associated zone control dampers. The interface and App also supports Daikin light commercial (Sky Air) split systems such as under-ceiling and cassette models. If the indoor unit has a swing louver function, the App will recognise this and provide an additional air flow direction button and indication symbol. Compatible Daikin Air Conditioners are most ducted split systems and light commercial systems less than 10 years old.
