I didn't know there's a new app. I added the new app to GH and now had no problem using it with GH. The Broadlink integration was introduced in Home Assistant 0.35, and it's used by 8% of the active installations. Its IoT class is Local Polling.

Select and extract the files jsonButton, jsonIrCode and jsonSublr; they will be located in the Documents/SharedData section. Put these in the same location as the getBroadlinkSharedData.py. The sensor entities allow you to monitor Broadlink sensors. These entities are created automatically when you configure a device that has sensors. Some protocols require a toggle bit to distinguish one button press from another.

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

Very good with affordable accessories! It works as expected and is easy to set up using the remotes from the original devices. Basic functions are well supported. The advanced things on a HT AVR remote are a little harder to use, but work. The scenes feature is great for turning on and off a whole system with multiple components. Test the codes Use the sendcode script you have already downloaded to test the codes you got from the device.

Deleting the old switch.all_shades entity and restarting HA fixed things. Broadlink manager found the device RM Pro Plus, MAC address the one as shown in the router. I have tried the IHC for EU, BroadLink & e-control apps, all with the same result.

Using e-Control remotes

If I fire up the e-Control app, it finds all 3 and they work. My router also confirms they are active on my network. Of the 2 remotes, the one mini is still working.

The RM node should be configured to the RM device created earlier by default. Drag an Inject node to the left of the RM node and link them. The type of inject doesn’t matter. Once installed, verify that the new palette titled broadlink is available in the nodes menu. The entities have the same name as the device by default. To change the name, icon or entity id, click the entity on the frontend and click the settings icon in the upper right.

Broadlink Switches not working

You don’t need to specify command_type to send them because this information is stored in the first byte of the code. Since yesterday my broadlink products I used with google home mini and ihc don't work. Drag another RM node on the same flow we created earlier.

The correct device was found, installed and is working ever since . I have, in a way, found a solution for my device in my environment. Mine worked perfectly and then stopped.

Open the application and hit “scan” to activate your broadlink device. Open iBackup viewer then select the iOS backup that you created. Navigate to the App icon and then scroll until you find e-control.app, select this.

Integration causing the issue

When the LED blinks for the first time, press the button you want to learn. Then wait for the LED to blink again and press the same button. By doing so, two different codes will be learned for the same command, and they will be sent alternately at each call.

I do have 6 Broadlink switches defined, however. I’m also experiencing issues starting at/around the same version. I will usually lose my connection to the RMPro if I restart HA. I’ve found that if I restart a number of times it will eventually find it again, and it will work fine until the next time I restart.

These codes are grouped by device and stored as commands in the storage folder. They can be sent with the remote.send_command service later. The above example creates switch.philips_tv, which sends IR/RF codes using the universal remote with the MAC address provided.

Connect the Inject node to the Template node, and the template node to the RM node. Drag a debug node and connect it to the output of the RM node. Drag a Debug node to the right of the Template node and link them. Drag a Template node on the Flow to the right of the RM node and link it to the RM node. Drag the RM node to an empty flow and double click to configure the node.
