Anyone experience with controlling a Daikin Airconditioning that only uses infrared? ---

Yes, I’ve just tested the ZXT-120 with my Daikin. Works almost perfect. What I mean by that, very fast response, most important functions work e.g. temperature setup, mode setup, fan speed, swing, ON/OFF. Almost perfect because the fan speed I could only get it working when the ZXT-120 was in “Always Listening” mode and not in “FLiRS” mode. ---

Thanks for reporting back @danone. The issues not being able to get the ZXT-120 working in FLiRS mode are being looked into… but are not device / app specific. There are currently multiple FLiRS devices that run into the same issue. Athom is looking into them at this moment. ---

The new update on the ZXT-120 has worked out for me. Before I couldn’t get my Samsung AC to cool but now it works. Thanks Ted good work again on this thing. I have questions about the temperature readings. 1. I would like to use these as a condition in a flow but the flow charts don’t exist. Could you make these for us? I have solved this now by writing a better logic variable on temperature change which I then use in the flow which activates the AC. But this is a flow extra which wouldn’t be needed. 2. How many readings does the device do because it seems to be stuck at 1 temperature where the room is cooled down. I use the device powered and in Always Listening mode. ---

I have solved this now by writing a better logic variable on temperature change which I then use in the flow which activates the AC. But this is a flow extra which wouldn’t be needed. @Toon_Vos can you share the flow you are using? Instead of creating a better logic variable, you can use the default device tags: ![52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/f6efe53f5318ba3dfb361b010e4685598bf83314.png) > [@Toon\_Vos](#): > > 1. > > How many readings does the device do because it seems to be stuck at 1 temperature where the room is cooled down. I use the device powered and in Always Listening mode. I can’t find in the specifications at what interval the temperature is being reported. I know it is being reported with every command being send to the device (similar to battery reports). There are no options build in to change the reporting interval / threshold (unlike the ZXT-600). I could implement a polling interval on the temperature values. Can you create a new Github issue for this feature request? ---

There will be some changes released soon that will make the actual usage of the Scene Master even more fun… For the Z-wave based dimming devices in my own apps (MCOHome, Logic Home and Steinel) as well as for the Fibaro Dimmers (using the dimmer-2 myself), I’m currently testing 2 new action cards, that trigger the dimmer to start a dim level change (with direction) and stop a dim level change. Enabling a more direct and easier (no more better logic values) way to control your dimming devices with the Remotec Scene Master (or Aqara wireless button): Start level change (disabling flow required due to retriggering of key held scene): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/7/7c895bf4cc3beadfd0862a257b66dd8eb69d8b9b.jpeg) Stop level change: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/d/ddc8f8501bb355ff764c766eb0054f6c86d6de43.jpeg) Will be releasing this update to the MCOHome, Logic Home and Steinel apps on short term and adding the same functionality to the Fibaro app (pending approval Athom). ---

Hi, the app is really good and I have the scene controller doing exactly what I want. Any chance we can get the ZTS-100 (think its called ZTS-110 in some markets too) added? It is a really good z-wave thermostat and there are a lot out there, especially in Australia. Here is a link to the manual; > **[8030\_web\_manual\_F820-8030-0001\_081613\_V2.04.pdf](https://www.remotec.com.hk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/8030_web_manual_F820-8030-0001_081613_V2.04.pdf)** > > 683.24 KB thanks in advance ---

Hi @Luke_Fairbank, To set the right expectations, I don’t think I will be able to work on this in 2018. Already made quite some commitments for other projects. Not having this thermostat available / in an EU version compatible with my development Homey, will not make it easier… Perhaps @limkopi78 (from AutomateAsia) would be able to add this thermostat to the app… Or another community member with some (limited) coding experience; I’m always willing to support new developers… [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-remotec-technology-app-v2-4-3/155.md?page=2)
