Cannot connect with BRP069A78?

[koenkicken]

I am able to add my Daikin HP via Onecta, and I've added Daikin Onecta integration to my HomeAssistant, but I cannot add this integration.

Specs:
Altherma Gateway Model Info BRP069A78
It does have an Altherma Gateway Mac Address.
Altherma Gateway Firmware Version 3.3.0

It does have an IP:
Altherma Gateway Ip Address 192.168.68.105

But still when trying to connect to this IP it isn't working.

What am I doing wrong? Are additional steps needed?

Following this too. I have the same gateway model and same problem and trying to solve this too :)

Hi, I'm also following I have the same problem,:-)

It does not work with WIFI adapters, unfortunately. The WIFI adapters do not have local API exposed.

Ok thanks for the info!

Btw if you want to explain shortly what does "local api not exposed" means, you could make me smarter? 😅.. is it like a firmware-thing that you can enable or disable this possibility?

@grendyx in nutshell, the daikin device itself does not have any capability to connect to any kind of network (e.g. internet). So, you must get a gateway which sits between device and internet. Now, the gateway (e.g. BRP069A62) is "smart" enough to run local web server, accept local connections directly within the LAN and listen/perform commands without travelling over the cloud.
Another gateway (for instance WIFI adapter BRP069A78) isn't that "smart" (or better to say does not have such functionality). It does not listen for local connections. It only communicates via cloud. Thus, integration cannot work with this type of gateway, as the integration is designed to work only locally.
Regarding firmware thing. I am pretty sure the hardware is capable to support this feature, however it is not implemented. In theory you could build a custom firmware with the assumption that the device has enough computing power to do that. And as far as I know, the wifi gateway does run local web server but unfortunately doesn't understand the commands.

@tadasdanielius i have a BRP069A78 and there seems to be a web-server running. It says File / not_found when trying http://

Maybe there was a Firmware update?
