## What it is
Faikout is an ESP32-based hardware module and firmware that controls Daikin air conditioning units, allowing network-based management of the AC. It is available as a purchasable device and the project has moved to Codeberg.

## Use cases
- control my daikin air conditioner over the network
- add wifi control to a daikin ac unit without official wifi adapter
- integrate daikin aircon into home automation
- remotely turn daikin air conditioning on and off
- replace daikin brp069 wifi module with open source hardware

## When to choose
- you own a Daikin aircon unit and want open, self-hosted control
- you prefer a ready-made ESP32 module over DIY wiring
- you want to avoid vendor cloud apps for HVAC control

## When to avoid
- you have a non-Daikin air conditioner
- you need a software-only solution without extra hardware
- you require an officially supported or certified integration
