Broadlink Integratrion Issue

Configuration
1

Hi @ all

I get an Issue for the following syntax

switch:
 - platform: broadlink
   host: 192.168.178.10
   mac: '78:0f:77:18:20:43'
   type: RM3_mini
   switches:
     tv:
       friendly_name: "TV"
       command_on: 'JgAcAB0dHB44HhweGx4cHR06HB0cHhwdHB8bHhwADQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=''
       command_off: 'JgAaABweOR4bHhwdHB4dHRw6HhsdHR0dOTocAA0FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=''

                      Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block mapping

in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 11, column 8
expected , but found ‘’
in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 13, column 22

whats wrong?
and what else have i to do to get an integration für television power on/off?

best regards andy

Looks like you have too many quotes at the end of commands: …AAAAA=’’ should be … AAAAA=’

okay thank you…
no i get this message…

Invalid config for [switch.broadlink]: [type] is an invalid option for [switch.broadlink]. Check: switch.broadlink->type. (See ?, line ?).

If you’re on one of the latest versions of HA, Broadlink integration needs to be set up via gui :
“To set up a Broadlink device, click Configuration in the sidebar and click Integrations . If you see your device there, click Configure . If not, click the + icon in the lower right, enter the hostname or IP address of the device and follow the instructions to complete the setup.”

Then you won’t need host: and type: entries in configuration.yaml

I would also try to get rid of quotes in MAC address (don’t have them in my config), but it might not be a culprit.

And current implementation of Broadlink integration might not support friendly_name, just name: for the entity name.

Look at the current instructions on how to set up Broadlink here

I am trying to set up a broadlink device via gui (configuration + Add Integration), I put the Host IP but then appears a “Unknown error occurred” and doesn´t connect, somebody knows the reason? Thanks.

Have a look over here. You may need to add your device id to have it supported.

What error message appears in the logs? What is the PID? (check device information in the official app)

Hi, thanks for you help.
When I verify the configuration, it appears: Invalid config for [switch.broadlink]: [timeout] is an invalid option for [switch.broadlink]. Check: switch.broadlink->timeout. (See ?, line ?).
And if I restart HA, the error message is:
Logger: homeassistant.components.broadlink.switch
Source: helpers/config_validation.py:749
Integration: Broadlink (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 16:20:06 (4 occurrences)
Last logged: 16:22:56

  • The ‘host’ option is deprecated, please remove it from your configuration
  • The ‘timeout’ option is deprecated, please remove it from your configuration

I´m sorry, and the PID is 87270000

You need to update your configuration. Example configuration.yaml for switches:

switch:
  - platform: broadlink
    mac: MAC_ADDRESS
    switches:
      - name: Philips TV
        command_on: JgAcAB0dHB44HhweGx4cHR06HB0cHhwdHB8bHhwADQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
        command_off: JgAaABweOR4bHhwdHB4dHRw6HhsdHR0dOTocAA0FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
      - name: LG TV
        command_on: JgBYAAABIJISExETETcSEhISEhQQFBETETcROBESEjcRNhM1EjcTNRMTERISNxEUERMSExE2EjYSNhM2EhIROBE3ETcREhITEgAFGwABH0oSAAwzAAEfShEADQU=
        command_off: JgBYAAABIJISExETETcSEhISEhQQFBETETcROBESEjcRNhM1EjcTNRMTERISNxEUERMSExE2EjYSNhM2EhIROBE3ETcREhITEgAFGwABH0oSAAwzAAEfShEADQU=

Remove the ‘host’ and ‘timeout’ attributes and use the name as a template for the entity id.

Thanks you very much, felipefiel. Finally, I made It using smartir integration, and now It is working. Thanks a lot :wink:

I am running into the same issue. Can you describe how you set up smart IR to make it work?
