CS-Z (etherea) compatibility

Open CrashOverride-Git opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Hello, I am sorry I don't know if this is the right place to do this question, but I would like to know if my 2 split etherea (CS-Z25XKEW) are working with your sw.

The devices has the integrated wifi (I didn't find the expansion board) to work with their cloud-app. Opening the electrical wires cover I found an holding slot and a 5 pin socket. Can I use this connector?

Yes it will. I see the CN-CNT connector there.

For the integrated wifi check it there is a small box with DNSK-P11 on it as outlined here: https://www.espthings.io/index.php/2021/08/03/panasonic-climate-wifi-interface-for-esphome-and-home-assistant/#How_does_it_work

Thank you, this is a very good news (their cloud based app sucks and I hate cloud services)

I have already saw that site but I don't know I can I buy that board.

I found these two info on the service manual, the wifi should be the one I point with the red arrow (Tomorrow I will check it)

Yes this: image looks very much like the DNSK-P11 cable/connector, but you have to check yourself, I can't be certain.

Hello, I just opened the case and the wifi module should be the DNSK (see the picture of what I found) Schermata 2022-08-04 alle 18 17 16

It is an 8 pin socket with 4 wires. I found + and ground at the sides, value measured 4,97 VDC Schermata 2022-08-04 alle 18 24 18

Yes, that's a DNSK-P11 and you can replace it with an ESP.
