Broadlink Fastcon BLE support

I would love to have support for the Broadlink Fastcon BLE lights and switches in Home Assistant.

http://ibroadlink.com/

Having just installed their starter kit, I’m also in this boat. Considering sending them back and replacing with something like Wiz instead as I want to incorporate them into bigger automations than the kit can handle. It seems like a good protocol but without a connection to anything but their cloud I’m not impressed.

Same. Saw the Broadlink integration and assumed the FastCon gateway and lights would work with it

I too just installed their starter kit! I really like the BLE bulbs and the keypad is nice and pretty cheap.

There is an Alexa integration, can I use that from HA?

I recently replaced all of my lightbulbs, including lamps, with the Broadlink BLE Fastcon bulbs and also have a couple of the switches.
I have only just signed up to this forum (this is my 1st post) to see if they are compatible, as I’ve been thinking about starting up with HA. With the shortage of Pi 4 at the moment I almost placed an order for the Odroid N2+ with HA pre installed last night, but I’m glad I didn’t now, as I’m not going to replace all of my bulbs again.

Same here, I have the bulbs and the 4 button switches, all work great. It’s just missing the HA integration to make it perfect.

Is this a HA thing or only something Broadlink can do?

I just purchased the Broadlink 4 button wall panel thinking it would work over BLE with HA. Is this not the case?

Hi there! I also saw the broadlink integration and thought: Nice! Then we renovated the house of my parents and installed 52(!) of the fastcon/broadlink spots. They work pretty nice with the app and alexa (alexa cant control the color to default if virtual hubs are used, btw.). Then, after recognizing that broadlink<>broadlink, i
bought the fascon-bridge (also working nice inspite of ha), the Broadlink M4Pro, played around with projects and esp32-things like this: millskyle/BRMesh_homeassistant: ESP32 interface for interfacing BRMesh lights to HomeAssistant using MQTT
=> Wow! What they all do/did is impressing!!!

But i am too stupid to get a working integration in ha.
At the moment I am near giving up and just will make helpers in ha to at least get the connection to alexa.
But without any status of the spots life will not be the same… :slight_smile:

So… I know this thread is very old, but my heart would really jump out of my throat, if ha would work with fastcon directly.
