How convenient, I just got installed a Daikin not even knowing it could have WLAN capabilities, discovered that it has, that is cloud-only but it wasn't like that til long ago. Currently I'm using this bridge to their cloud Onecta for Home Assistant (https://github.com/jwillemsen/daikin_onecta) and so far it's working great.
But this project is definitely nicer! But I don't fully understand how do I connect the ESP32 to the aircon. I see you can buy a cable on Tindie but... oh wait, I know see a badly illuminated part of the attached YouTube video where he does open the thing up and connect the cable but really, it's not that clear to me (especially considering there are a gazillion slightly different Daikin split models out there).
Any help appreciated (even if it's just a pointer to RTFM)
The project has a page about "wiring" [1] which also has a table with the needed parts to make your own cable (that's what I ended up doing).
In my case it was more hassle to look up how to dismantle the unit to get to the motherboard (I recommend looking up your unit's service manual), attaching the module and routing the cable are trivial.
