Tomer_Klein · June 14, 2021, 3:29am

Hi Groto,
Thanls for that.
Can you create a PR so i can marge it and update the original repo. this way i can update the container so everyone that already use it will get the update?

Hi All,
Thanks to @Groto the Broadlink Manager is now supporting RM4 Pro device.
All you need to do is to pull the latest version.

The arm version is not yet update,
Will update it later on today.

Groto · June 14, 2021, 2:15pm

Looks like you beat me to it. Thanks for the update!

where can I find the latest version? the latest one I see is v1.0.0.1 which doesn’t recognize RM4 as supported device. TY

Hi, I just downloaded 1.0.0.1 and it is not recognizing RM4 Pro… Any suggestions?

“Writing compatible device not detected!”

Guilherme_Gimenes · July 1, 2021, 10:06pm

keeping forcing it until it works… broadlink manager is unstable, sometimes it doesn’t find my devices, sometimes it finds only one, sometimes it finds but it says its not supported, anyways, b.m. sucks!

I have a RM4 Pro 0x649b. Is this still not compatible or is there something wrong with my setup? I have tried using the docker and windows version and still no luck. Any help appreciated! The docker version says ‘Not Supported’ and the windows app says ‘unknown’

Hi, I just tested the docker version, and it looks very good. I saw @Tomer_Klein added the code generator for Type D Sockets. Does anyone know of a generator for Type A sockets (10 DIP switches)?
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
BroadlinkManager Docker is now available for arm based devices.
Just use the “latest” tag, and that’s it.

I would love to see this as an addon that we could run directly from our home assistant instance.

Turd.Ferguson · July 23, 2021, 9:37pm

Is there a fix for 0x649b devices yet? I just installed the latest docker image - works on my RM3 mini but not my RM4 Pro.

andypi · August 1, 2021, 7:44am

Hi,

i’ve installed to docker
docker run -d --name=broadlinkmanager --net=host techblog/broadlinkmanager:latest

But it doesn’t find my RM4 Pro 0x653c
Is it supposed to work?

DrMax · August 4, 2021, 8:48pm

Hey, thanks for the cool programm!
I just got my RM4 Pro (0x649b) and it says it’s unsupported. I’m using the manager through docker on a RPi 4.
Any workarounds or planned fixes?

Best regards!

Not trying to hi-jack this great thread…
You can use lirc like commands to send individual hex codes with irDroid.

2006yamahar6 · September 12, 2021, 2:51pm

Do you plan on adding support for the RM4 TV mate? I tried adding it via the broadlink integration and got a “device not supported error”. For reference, the device id is “0x5209”

Tomer_Klein · September 14, 2021, 9:35am

Hi All,
Added support for the following RM Devices:
0x653c: (rm4, “RM4 pro”, “Broadlink”)
0x649B: (rm4, “RM4 pro”, “Broadlink”)
0x653a: (rm4, “RM4 mini”, “Broadlink”)
Just make sure to pull the latest version.

Tomer_Klein · September 14, 2021, 9:36am

Hi @2006yamahar6,
I’ll check it and if it possible I’ll add the support for this device.

Groto · September 26, 2021, 8:21pm

@Tomer_Klein Can you please add RM4mini 0x648d? Thx

Hi folks,

Is there any way around sending rolling codes ? I am trying to automate RF433 roller shutters, and they have wireless RF433 controllers.

There is no wired switch to 'hack" into, as such. I tried to learn and send codes using Broadlink RM4 Pro, and found out the remotes send rolling codes.

Is there a solution for such situations ?
Cheers.

HasQT · September 29, 2021, 11:07am

I doubt rolling codes are supported by broadlink, they generally aren’t because security…

You could source a 2nd remote and hard-wire a relay across the switch button.
