Coming from Daikin Online Controller ?
At first launch of the ONECTA application it's normal that you'll not see you existing units form the previous "Daikin Online Controller" application. Your units need to manually transferred/onboarded to ONECTA before they will be visible. Until this is done you can still use the "Daikin Online Controller" application , once they are onboarded on the ONECTA application , the "Daikin Online Controller" application can be removed.
Onboarding a Daikin unit on the ONECTA application
To onboard an Daikin connected unit to ONECTA , press the "let's add your first unit!" or press on the "+" sign and select the "add a device" item.
This will open the "add unit" view , where you can start with the onboarding of a connected Daikin unit to your account.

Coming from Daikin Online Controller ?
Your Airconditioning units are already connected to your home network and will be automatically found by the ONECTA application. Select 1-by-1 all the discovered units and follow the further steps to onboard these units to the ONECTA application.
