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.

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.

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.

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.

These entities are created automatically when you configure a device that has switches. Same for me, RM Mini 3 firmware 44057, it works fine in IHC App but nothing is responding in home asssistant . Neither remote.learn_command and remote.send_command nor broadlink.learn and broadlink.send. The RM led does not blink in white as it does when I configure from the app so I suspect it's not contacted at all.

Alternatively you could use a third party service like the Fing app. Now we have our device connected to the network, make a note of the IP and MAC address as we will need it to configure Home Assistant. You can also define custom IR/RF switches to be controlled with universal remote devices. The light entities allow you to control Broadlink lights. You can turn them on and off, change brightness, adjust the color or set a color temperature. These entities are created automatically when you configure a device that has lights.

Setting up IFTTT

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.

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…”.

Getting Started as a Data Analyst Part 3

I wanted to be able to turn on my TV and sound system together, so I had multiple actions to do — one RM bridge call for each. From there you should be able to get a persistent notification on the front end after the code is captured. It is easier to copy the string from the states tab though. I had troubles getting the whole string from the persistent notification. Using the App, I can see that firmware is updated and I configured some IR Remotes. The Broadlink integration was introduced in Home Assistant 0.35, and it's used by 8% of the active installations.

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.

Using e-Control remotes

Firstly you need to put your device into AP mode. The reddit thread suggests a complicated way of setting up the device with about half a dozen different Android Apps in the mix. After much trial and error I found a simpler way.

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. @webworxshop Here is a detailed view of your packets. Make sure to disable line wrap to get a good view of it.

To change the name, icon or entity id, click the entity on the frontend and click the settings icon in the upper right. You can also disable the entity there if you don’t think it is useful. Don’t forget to click Update to save your changes when you’re done. It is written in Python and supports a wider range of devices.
