What is this?

I have air con around my house with the brand Dakin and you can use a local web api to control them so I wanted a way to control my air con locally on my computer.

This allows me to change all the most changed settings about my air con straight from my terminal.

Setup

You need to create a config file at ~/.config/aircon/aircon.json. In this file you need to add the ip of the air con you wish control. You can extend the code to work with more then one units if you want, I'm more then happy to accept the PR :). Air con config file:

{
    "aircon_ip": "10.0.0.5"
}

Build

To build all you need to do is run the build script in the root of the project. This will build the project and put it at your ~/.local/bin. Make sure that ~/.local/bin is added to your PATH.

Usage

# Get the current air con status
aircon status
23.0 Cold Night Off

# Toggle power of the air con
aircon toggle

# Change between modes on the air con
aircon mode Heat
aircon mode Cold

# Set the temperature to what you desrise
aircon temp 28

# Set to any of the fan modes listed below
# 1,2,3,4,5,Night
aircon fan Night

You can also check out scripts/control, to give you some examples on how you can write your own scripts for the air con.
