@oliverdog How much did you increase it to?
Increased to 300 all broadlink products…
Sensors working fine since that date I increased.
Thanks, I’ll try that, i wrote my own python script and used it as a command line sensor up till now 
hi,
I have a problem. My broadlink will not work/show up in frontend when Iadd aircon_br_temp_up, aircon_br_temp_down, and aircon_br_timer_set. When delete the three then the broadlink will workagain. I dont know how to solve this. I tried also to use broadlink.send_packet but it will not send and there will be the an error that the packet cannot be sent. I hope you guys can help me to solve the problem
Thanks

Nevermind, I solved the problem,
apparently, the sniffed code from HASS didnt show the whole code “=” was missing at the end of the code
the code should be

Hi Guys,
If you are interested in using these sensors with home assistant you are welcome to take a look at my post here:
Hello everyone,
I have got some milight devices, broadlink tc2 switches and rf433 blinds and xiaomi smart home accessories at my home.
I use homebridge to control all my devices (except sensors from xiaomi which need apple tv for automation) from homekit. I am currently using home assistant also for automation and remote access mainly and i am loving the log, graph and automation features.
Homebridge has a great plugin for broadlink devices. It has many device types:
learn-code
switch
switch-multi
switch-repeat
fan
light
garage-door-opener
window-covering
air-conditioner
Currently as far as i know home assistant only has “switch” component for broadlink integration. Which only has “on” and “off”. For my RF blinds I would like to use the homebridge’sque integration with home assistant also. Homebridge supports “on”, “off” and “stop”. It also has the “duration to close and open” values for curtains. So the plugin can use the information to set the blinds to %55 for instance. (send a stop command after total time / percent vs)
It would be great to have such functionality in home assistant too.
Thanks in advance.

Sensors still working fine.
But my SP Mini stoped working.
It works some hours on every reboot.
Did anyone get SP switches working properly?
Mine also do this, I have 3 spmini2 and they all stop working at different times with a timeout error in the log. Restart of HA works for a while then they do it again.
I am using a command line switch to run my own script for turning them on and off, for some reason it is more reliable than the implementation in HA.
Which one is?
Both SP and A1
Are you able to post an example of the command line switch you are using for the sp? TIA.
This is what I am doing with the SP2, the only “problem” with it that you don’t get the state which is actually the root cause of the problems I had with the built-in component which wasn’t reliable due to the broadlink device timeouts:
I have this script in my “/home/pi/” folder:
#!/usr/bin/python
import broadlink, sys, time
def sendSPCommand(spIP, spMAC, spState):
try:
device = broadlink.sp2(host=(spIP,80), mac=bytearray.fromhex(spMAC))
device.auth()
time.sleep(3)
device.host
if spState == "1":
device.set_power(True)
print "on"
else:
device.set_power(False)
print "off"
except:
print "error"
pass
sendSPCommand(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3])
And in the home assistant configuration I have the command line switch:
- platform: command_line
switches:
BedroomLamp:
command_on: '/usr/bin/python /home/pi/sp2.py 10.0.0.12 B44300000000 1'
command_off: '/usr/bin/python /home/pi/sp2.py 10.0.0.12 B44300000000 0'
friendly_name: Bedroom Lamp
And this is what I am using for the A1 sensor:
#!/usr/bin/python
import broadlink, time, sys
try:
device = broadlink.a1(host=("10.0.0.2",80), mac=bytearray.fromhex("B44300000000"))
time.sleep(3)
device.auth()
time.sleep(3)
result = device.check_sensors_raw()
print result[sys.argv[1]]
except:
print "Cannot connect to sensor"

i run homeassistant in docker in synology, when i set config as
switch:
- platform: broadlink
host: 192.168.1.169
mac: ‘34:ea:34:c7:37:58’
switches:
reciever:
command_on: ‘switch_packet on’
command_off: ‘switch_packet off’
the broadlink don’t work…
i find that you say:
‘if you use a virtual environment enable it.
Run pip install pycrypto’
but how can i do that? in docker? or in synology??

Broadlink has a new app that works with Alexa.
Usual crap app from broadlink, but I managed to make it work with the TV (not the air conditioning)
Don’t know if it’s anything to do with your problem but you spelt ‘receiver’ wrong
I came to HA to disconnect it from China.
Working good for me on my prime day Dot and Harmony Elite via emulated_hue 
Hi all, new user to home-assistant.io. I’m trying to link to my Broadlink RM PRO and A1, but they’re not appearing on my home-assistant.io page. The logs shows the following. Can anyone troubleshoot it for me please?
