Wonder if anyone can tell what i am doing wrong. After the latest update my broadlink RF switches did not work. I followed the new broadlink integration and amended my YAML. But still not joy they are just not recognised.
Below is a snap shot of my YAML file. It is formatted correctly
switch:
platform: broadlink
mac: 'MY MAC ADDRESS'
switches:
- name: Side Lights
command_on: '6RRGAN8JCRYWCQkWCRYWCRYJCRYJFhYJCRYJFgkWFgkJFgkWFgkJFgkWFgkJFgkWCRYWCRYJFgkWCRYJCRYJFgkWCRYWCQkAAUg='
command_off: '6RRGAN8JCRYJFhYJFgkJFgkWFgkJFgkWFgkJFhYJCRYJFgkWCRYJFgkWFgkJFhYJFgkJFhYJCRYWCQkWFgkJFgkWCRYJFgkAAUg='
The few switches I have seem to be working OK after changing the yaml as you have clearly done. Do you just get a single entity defined in the Broadlink Integration like the following:
If you are using Call Service from Lovelace cards then I think these need to be changed from broadlink/send to remote/send_command.
I have two entities in my Broadlink integration. A remote which i presume is my hub and Broadlink Temperature. I use the switches in an automation and also use Alexa to switch on and off
Hi, i had the same problem here is what i did to solve this:
Remove the single quotes as suggested by @gchrisak
DONT add “b64:” before the codes HA will complain about config errors if you do so.
Double check the MAC Address of your device ( just ping it from your computer then do a arp list or check your routers dhcp clients if you are using dynamic IP’s ) seems like HA didnt cared about the MAC before only the IP and i had a typo in the former (70: instead of 78: as the first number). There was no error or anything just the switch didnt showed up, i fixed the MAC and now it works.
