Broadlink RM Mini 3 - Button Config?

poldim · April 7, 2017, 4:14pm

I see the Broadlink switches component which allows you to have an on/off switch, but how can I setup to basically mimic button presses on a remote? Do you just fill in the ON value and leave the off blank?

For example, my curtains have three button: open, stop, close. Is this the best config to use?

I have the same question. Did you get it to work with that syntax?

Use an automation and it will create an activate button. Very lame there isn’t a momentary push button function, but beggars can’t be choosers…

@Danielhiversen posted in another thread where he is only using one command. So it seems to work to only provide one or the other.

See the example below.
