Daikin Ururu Sarara, add support for humidify

[Former user]

Hi,

I have a daikin ururu sarara which works fine with pydaikin. However this model also supports Humidify. Can you add support for humidify to the lib? I did make a tcpdump and the mode seems 'HUM'.

ret=OK,pow=1,mode=HUM,adv=,stemp=--,shum=50,dt1=22.0,dt2=M,dt3=25.0,dt4=--,dt5=--,dt7=22.0,dh1=50,dh2=50,dh3=0,dh4=50,dh5=50,dh7=50,dhh=50,b_mode=4,b_stemp=--,b_shum=50,alert=255,f_rate=4,f_dir=3,b_f_rate=4,b_f_dir=3,dfr1=6,dfr2=A,dfr3=5,dfr4=4,dfr5=4,dfr6=A,dfr7=6,dfrh=5,dfd1=3,dfd2=0,dfd3=0,dfd4=3,dfd5=3,dfd6=3,dfd7=3,dfdh=0

There is no sanitization of which modes that are supported in pydaikin. But HomeAssistant only support these modes: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/climate/const.py#L25

Hi, I have the same unit and am interested in this too. The official daikin app shows the mode but can't set it which is really annoying. What is also interesting with this unit is that you can combine modes, for example cooling + drying (DRY COOLING on the remote).

I understand Home Assistant currently doesn't support “Humidity” in the climate component but… why not just add it? Drying is a supported mode and this is just the opposite of that

[Fredrik Erlandsson]

HomeAssistant support is not going to happen. They are very restrictive on the types of supported modes..

[Fredrik Erlandsson]

Actually, we might be able to support this via a service call.

I do need info on what to send to activate Humidify though.
