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. @ivico94 I had the same issue. After updating it showed up as switch.all_shades_2.

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.

On Add Device, select the user defined device that you have added. In this case, I will select Front gate. 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. You can ensure that the current version is installed by attempting to install again and confirming that you see “Requirement already satisfied”. Open the e-Control app on your mobile device. On the left side menu choose “Share” and then “Share to other phones in WLAN”.

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. Code sent… Not every code works. 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.

Through no related reason, it has stopped controlling the blind, the tv & Sky still work fine. I have a BroadLink RM Pro all set up correctly & was working fine for about 1 month. I will be creating a Scene which will transmit a radio frequency to toggle the Front gate via the Broadlink rm4 Pro.

How to link Broadlink user defined devices to Google Home Mini

The remote entities allow you to learn and send codes with universal remotes. They are created automatically when you configure devices with IR/RF capabilities. Use remote.learn_command to learn IR and RF codes.

There is no more need to set up platforms, except for custom IR/RF switches. Once the device is configured, all entities will be created automatically. I found it a bit of a hassle at first when I first started the whole configuration process. Hence, here is a step by step guide on configuring user defined devices to Google Home. You can use remote.delete_command to remove commands that you’ve learned with the remote.learn_command service.

Sending commands

Tried to sync the devices, link/unlink, delete and add the universal remote, without success. The AP mode is another method for the device that connects to your Wi-Fi router. You can also define custom IR/RF switches to be controlled with universal remote devices. 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.

Download these GitHub files. Make sure you place them in the \Python27 path in Windows. Be sure that the getBroadlinkSharedData.py from the download is in this directory. Download and install Python 2.7 on your windows PC.

Integration causing the issue

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.

Get devices to control by broadlink into HA first, then again check from home assistant for other components for google assistant, alexa, homekit. All these components can be add into home assistant. 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. Dump the files in the app by navigating to the hamburger icon, select share and select, then choose Share to other phones on WLAN.
