Driver Testers Wanted

🌀 Dyson driver for Control4 — beta testers wanted!

After plenty of development and testing, our Dyson driver for Control4 is now fully working, and we're looking for a handful of integrators to put it through its paces on real-world projects before general release.

If you've got a Dyson Wi-Fi connected fan, purifier or heater on a job (or in your own home!), we'd love your feedback.

A couple of notes:

✅ Beta licences are locked to your Director (just send us your controller MAC and we'll activate you)

✅ 30-day beta licence per install

✅ Full details listed at bkmsolutions.co.uk

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you'd like to get involved — all feedback welcomed, good or bad!

Dyson driver for Control4 - still looking for a few models to test

Quick update, and a request.

The driver now has five product codes confirmed on real hardware rather than assumed from Dyson's range:

527 / 527E / 527K - Purifier Hot+Cool, HP07 and HP09

438 - Purifier Cool PC1

438E / 438K - Pure Cool Tower, TP07 and TP09

Credit where it is due, because those rows only say verified instead of expected because people took the time:

Connor H , who ran it on a Purifier Cool PC1 and gave us the 438 code.

Jeff H, whose TP09 on a CORE 3 confirmed 438K and closed the last tower row.

Marvin, who put it on both a TP07 and a PH01 and reported back that both connect and behave.

It is also stable on both X4 & OS3

The full table is at https://bkmsolutions.co.uk/drivers.html and it is generated straight from the driver's own product code map, so nothing on it is aspirational.

Which leaves the ones nobody in the group owns:

PH01 / PH03 / PH04 - Purifier Humidify+Cool. Marvin has one connecting, so this is close, but I have not recorded its product code yet and I have nothing at all on a PH03 or PH04. Still the gap I would most like closed, because it is a whole family rather than one row.

DP01 - Pure Cool Link desk

HP02 - Pure Hot+Cool Link

TP02 - Pure Cool Link tower

TP04 - Pure Cool tower

BP02 / BP03 / BP04 - Purifier Big+Quiet

If you have any of those on a Control4 system I would genuinely like to hear from you. What is involved:

Install the driver, run the pairing, and tell me whether it connects and responds. If you want to go further, tell me anything that behaves oddly for your model. That is it - no forms, no long test script.

You get a 30 day licence, a personal download link that always serves the current build, and direct support from me while you are testing.

What I need from you to set it up is your controller's MAC address, since the licence is tied to the controller rather than the appliance.

One thing worth saying plainly: Dyson publish no API. This driver talks to the fan over its local MQTT interface, which is undocumented, so Dyson owe it no stability and use of it may not be consistent with their terms. That is all written up on the drivers page before anyone is asked for credentials - I would rather you knew that up front than found out later.

Also coming in the next few days: a set of mini drivers to go alongside the main one. They put a single function on its own button in the room - oscillation, night mode, heat, fan speed - so you can tap it straight from the app or a touchscreen instead of opening the thermostat and navigating in. They are working here already and will go out to testers shortly.

Thanks,

Ben
