Broadlink RM Mini 3 does not work

[goldister (Ádám Bakki)]

I bought from

The firmware on this is 44057
Model: RM mini 3
FCC ID: 2ACDZ-RMMINI3-RM

On intelligent home center app from broadlink, the devices work as intended.It has no firmware upgrades available for it.On e-control app, it shows as unrecognized device, but shows.

On HA:

remote:
  - platform: broadlink
    host: 192.168.2.122
    mac: "xx::xx:xx:xx:xx"

and script:

script:
  learn_mute_tv:
    sequence:
      - service: remote.learn_command
        data:
          entity_id: remote.broadlink
          device: tv
          command: mute

When I called this service

entity_id: remote.broadlink
device: television
command: Turn on
alternative: true
timeout: 30

I got that error message:

Using broadlink manager gives the following:

Then I tried python-broadlink and BlackBeanControl

I changed the line 167, I wrote RealTimeout.

Then I got that:

What is the problem? Someone can help me?

Thank you in advance

Learning IR codes from broadlink switch

Hey @santaklon did you buy the RM Mini 3 recently? If you have one of the newer Chinese variants (device ID = 0x5f36) then it’s not going to work in HA until a future update. Broadlink have changed the authentication routine for newer versions of this device and major changes were required to the third party python-broadlink component in order to get it to work with these newer devices. The work has been done to fix the issue but I don’t think it’s reached the HA release yet. You can check out…

I tried as switch. I call a service (host: 192.168.2.122).
I got this:

Logger: homeassistant.components.broadlink
Source: components/broadlink/init.py:106
Integration: broadlink (documentation, issues)

No signal was received

I too am struggling with my RM Mini3. I set it up perfectly about a year ago and it’s been working without issue. In the past few weeks the commands haven’t been going through on it, so I just checked and found this: https://github.com/mlfunston/node-red-contrib-broadlink-control/issues

I am checking my node-red logs, and am receiving the following error:
“Broadlink Timeout Received - Closing Device Connection”

I believe this is all part of the same issue.

Just found this post, Brodlink updated his firmware and broked the HA compatibility

Broadlink Firmware update takes down Home-Assistant component. See my...

Thanks, I checked.
I tried this method (with node-red), but during learning proccessing I get ““Broadlink Timeout Received - Closing Device Connection””.

I was dealing with the same issue. I’ve one older broadlink rm mini3 and one added 2 weeks ago. The newer one wouldn’t work.

Since Home Assistant 0.110.2 the broadlink library and integration got updated! When you have a newer broadlink rm mini3 use type: rm_mini3_redbean in your config.
