Broadlink IR Climate Component

i use ‘off’ in yaml file as discussed above…

I have the config set to ‘off’ (used to be idle). But whenever I say something like “Hey google, turn off the Bedroom Aircon” it says “Sorry that mode isn’t available for the Bedroom Aircon”.

I tried “set to off”, “turn the Bedroom Aircon off”, and as many other ways of saying it as possible.

I’ll try relinking and see what happens.

I’ve have created the IR file for the Fujitsu AR-REA1E Remote. How can i contribute?

In addition, Is there such a mode call [Powerful], I’ve noted the daikin_arc433a21.ini has that temperature.

Oh! I have the same remote! Please post it to pastebin/github gist or open a pull request

I have created a gist for the Fujitsu AE-REA1E remote.

hi, dumb question probably but i am only two days into home assistant can someone tell me where i am going wrong?
in my config folder I create a folder called custom components, in there i have a folder called fan and in that is the broadlink.py script
then in the configuration.yaml i am calling it with?
broadlink:
is this correct?

anyone with a panasonic climate ir file here? :slight_smile:

I have a Sanyo heat/cool mini-split and the remote has a thermometer built into it. It appears that the remote transmits the current room temperature as part of the command. As such, learning is much more complicated than instructed here. Each command has a target temp and current room temp. In fact, I think the device sends silent temperature change updates to the wall unit, even when a button isn’t pressed because it knows when to go in and out of ‘idle’ based only on the temperature of the remote. I tested this in a couple of ways.

Does anyone here have a remote with the thermostat built in? Can this component even accommodate such a setup or is it expecting the thermometer to be built into the wall unit?

I created a Sumikura.ini file. How do I contribute? Also could you please make a change to the default_operation_from_idle so that it will check if the sensor temperature lower/higher than the input target temperature. If its lower the operation mode change to heating and if its higher the mode change to cooling. It will make the thermostat much more intelligent.
Thanks.

Also the max_temp - min_temp doesnt work with google assistant. When I ordered a higher/lower temp than the max/min (ie 8* over and 16-30 range) via GA the temperature on component change to the requested temp without considering the limit. Result is the request failed and GA reply “there are an error…” could you please fix it?

Hi,
Should I put IP and mac address of the broadlink device or raspberry pi?
And where to put “broadlink_climate_codes” folder?

Thanks

climate platform you have to but the broadlink ip and mac address to get the temperature and also to send packet (command).

As @Sunonline mentioned above. Also, the folder goes into your root config folder (where configuration.yaml resides).

please note that HA 0.61.1 , the developer tools>service, currently have change the name of broadlink send and learn command to switch.broadlink_send_packet***

So if you have had put this service in your automation or script or inside HA earlier, you have to change the name according to the new service name or else you cannot use that service.

Thank you.

@talondnb and @Sunonline Thank you very much.

This is cool, but I guess with the changes introduced in 0.61, the broadlink.py doesn’t work anymore?

any input on this?

Upgrade to 0.61.1 or newer.

I am on 0.62…but it doesn’t work…I think you have to be on pre-0.61

Mine is 0.62.1 works fine.
