Reboot of ESP32-Remote turns AC off #8

sergios100 commented 2026年07月11日 13:30:15 +02:00

Whenever the ESP32-Remote is rebooted / power-cycled it will wake up in "OFF" and "Auto FAN" Mode and send this to the Faikin-Interface.
For me, this is unwanted behaviour, because it turns off a running AC.

Two suggestions to solve the issue:

• boot-up -> read out the current state of the AC from Faikin -> show it, but don't change it
  or
• Safe the current state in non volatile memory -> after boot-up -> read from memory -> apply state

If the current behaviour is really requested by users, perhaps a selection to choose from "Remember last state at boot-up" or "force AC off at boot-up" under /revk-settings might be a solution.

Love the Faikin and it's Remote! Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

I never envisioned the Remote really needing to reboot much.

Good suggestions.

I'll have to try and work that one out.

Perfect!

I only noticed, because it's scorching hot here at the moment and I did the commissioning of the Faikin and the Remote in front of the AC! 🤣
When suddenly the stream of cool air from the AC stopped. 😯

Thanks and Cheers!

Mine seems to work, but added a 10 second delay from boot to sending data now. Try latest beta.

I’ll do a better update rather than a simple 10 second delay, waiting for first update from Faikout. That is neater.

Done, new beta. Seems to work well.
