Broadlink RM Mini 3 Configuration
Table of Content
First we will create a new script under the script integration called tv_vol_up. All entities will be automatically formed once the device has been configured. Except for customized IR/RF switches, platforms no longer need to be set up. Open iBackup viewer then select the iOS backup that you created.
I did a hardware reset and downgraded the firmare to 55 again, but it didn't solve the problem. When calling the broadlink.learn service, the service does not appear to be called. The message "Failed to connect to device" is posted in the logs.

Once installed, verify that the new palette titled broadlink is available in the nodes menu. On the left side menu choose “Share” and then “Share to other phones in WLAN”. It will generate the files you will need for the script. Some protocols require a toggle bit to distinguish one button press from another. In such cases, learning an alternative code will significantly increase the response rate of the device.
Use this tool to convert the hex codes to base64 for use with Home Assistant. Broadlink can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as “Discovered”, which you can select to set it up right away. Device works perfect, i can command AC and Projector... I have the same problem and I can add my experience since I hope it will be useful to understand and solve the problem. Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
Using iOS and Windows to obtain codes
From looking at the code, the message appears when the device fails the auth method. Yes, I used the Broadlink App in my android device to setup the RM mini 3. I have also assigned a fixed IP to it based on the MAC address. Use the e-Control app to learn the codes from all of your suitable remotes. Depending on the remote, try to add useful names for the buttons and/or the remotes. This will mean that you should only have to run this process once and will help with getting them quickly into Home Assistant.
However there are some instances where this has caused a problem, mainly with the newer version of the app. You should have Home Assistant installed and running. Stringify flowIf you have just one action to perform (i.e. one Maker URL call) you can just use the IFTTT app — no need for Stringify . One thing to note is that the Maker/Web URL call is called “Webhooks” in IFTTT now.
Using e-Control remotes
I can't seem to configure via the python library neither. Now that we have our RM Mini on the network we can configure Home Assistant. Use remote.learn_command to learn IR and RF codes.
Navigate to the App icon and then scroll until you find e-control.app, select this. 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. I already had an rm pro2 now i learn the codes with that one and pass them on to the mini in home assistant, works great. If This Then That is a popular tool for executing a single action when a condition occurs. The advantage with using this tool is that I don’t have to prefix my command to Google Home with “tell Stringify…”.
Setting up custom IR/RF switches
The RM mini 3 is connected to a 1A 5V power supply. Sign up for a free GitHub account to open an issue and contact its maintainers and the community.

For example if you have an AC unit with IR remote, you could an IR blaster to integrate it with a Home Assistant thermostat solution.
The packets are exactly the same, except for the device IDs. I couldn't decrypt the first packet because I don't have the key, but look at the payload checksum. Even so, the information you sent is incomplete. To understand the problem, I need you to run this script, learn a code and send me the file debug.txt.
If you are OK with that, you can swap the IFTTT step in Stringify for a Google Assistant condition and you’ll have a working system. Im trying to configure my first device with home assistant that is Broadlink RM Mini3 and having trouble so far. The switch simply doesn’t appear in the interface. You can grab irdb2broadlinkha.sh from irdb2broadlinkha project and try to convert codes to format suitable for Home Assistant. You must install simplejson in the same Python version you will use to run the scripts. The sensor entities allow you to monitor Broadlink sensors.
Test the codes Use the sendcode script you have already downloaded to test the codes you got from the device. You need to edit the script with your RM Pro IP Address and MAC Address and with the code in HEX format. When run the script, you know the code works when get message. The above example creates switch.philips_tv, which sends IR/RF codes using the universal remote with the MAC address provided. In this tutorial we learnt how to configure the remote integration for sending and receiving basic commands from a TV remote.
From the configuration menu selectdevices & Services. Click connect on the device pairing screen, the network status should show connected. Alternatively you can use Broadlink Manager to setup your device. Unfortunately this program is only available in Windows.
After learning IR and RF codes with the remote.learn_command service, you can use remote.send_command to send them. You can also use this service to send base64 codes taken from elsewhere. 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.
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. Download and install Python 2.7 on your windows PC.
I can contribute by adding support for the RM Mini 3 0x5f36 and RM4 series, as long as @rob121 adopts the MIT license. RM mini 3, Firmware with the app works fine but it doesn't work on hassio. I was able to use the broadlink.learn service once, but not anymore afterwards . I'm using a Broadlink RM Mini 3 and until yesterday I didn't have any problem while sending IR packets.
