[Formiga (Daniel)]

Funcionou que é uma beleza… Valeu!

any one have idea what this issue?

[itajackass (Giuseppe Lodi Rizzini)]

same problem for me under windows 10… have you solved?

[itajackass (Giuseppe Lodi Rizzini)]

Can someone help me to extract a RF code? I can’ run in win10 and I get error also under rasbian.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “getBroadlinkSharedData.py”, line 39, in
jsonSubIrData = json.loads(jsonSubIr)
File “/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/simplejson/init.py”, line 518, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)

raise JSONDecodeError(“Extra data”, s, end, len(s))
simplejson.errors.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 3 - line 1 column 24 (char 2 - 23)

This is my files:

It’s only a RF command

I’ve had success using the method described here.

Guide: How to learn broadlink RF codes

Edit: The original post is quite old please refer to these more recent guides that were suggested by others, I haven’t verified these guides myself.

Updated code that supports recent updates of broadlink plugin:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

'''
This script will "parse" the broadlink e-Control Android application "SharedData" json files and dump the IR / RF codes for selected accessories into a text file which can be later used with broadlink-python to send the codes to the RM PRO hub
NO ROOT ACCESS REQUIRED

Just connect your Android device to your computer and browse the SD card / External Storage folder "/broadlink/newremote/SharedData/"
You need to get the following files:

jsonSubIr
jsonButton
jsonIrCode

and put them in the same folder as this script.

run: python getBroadlinkSharedData.py

'''

import simplejson as json


buttonIDS = []
buttonNames = []


jsonSubIr = open("jsonSubIr").read()
jsonSubIrData = json.loads(jsonSubIr)


for i in range(0, len(jsonSubIrData)):
    print "ID:", jsonSubIrData[i]['id'], "| Name:", jsonSubIrData[i]['name']


choice = input("Select accessory ID: ")

for i in range(0, len(jsonSubIrData)):
    if jsonSubIrData[i]['id'] == choice:
        accessory_name = jsonSubIrData[i]['name']

Is it possible to use this approach for getting the codes from the newer Broadlink app e.g. not the e control app?
I am having problems connecting my Broadlink RM to e control for some reason.
I looked in the Broadlink folder for the Broadlink app on my phone and can see similar files but they are empty. e.g. jsonSubIr, jsonButton and jsonIrCode
