you need to put a prefix of b64: before the command now…https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/broadlink/#sending-irrf-codes

you also need to ensure that the remote is enabled in the integrations section

Can you explain how to make a binary sensor binary_sensor.finn_blind_sensor

What I did was fit an open close sensor to the actual blind. You know, the ones you use on doors/windows etc.
