Broadlink RM-PRO and A1 sensor

anon35356645 · June 24, 2017, 8:33pm

Which one is?

NightRanger · June 25, 2017, 5:06am

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"

HASS Coniguration:

- platform: command_line
      name: Temperature
      command: "python /home/pi/temp.py temperature"
      unit_of_measurement: "°C"
      scan_interval: 300

    - platform: command_line
      name: Humidity
      command: "python /home/pi/temp.py humidity"
      scan_interval: 300

    - platform: command_line
      name: Light
      command: "python /home/pi/temp.py light"
      scan_interval: 300

    - platform: command_line
      name: Noise
      command: "python /home/pi/temp.py noise"
      scan_interval: 300

Thanks for that.

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)

Bobby_Nobble · July 15, 2017, 10:18am

Don’t know if it’s anything to do with your problem but you spelt ‘receiver’ wrong

Bobby_Nobble · July 15, 2017, 10:29am

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?

anon35356645 · July 25, 2017, 2:43pm

you think USA is better then China about privacy?

Not sure about that …

keithh666 · July 25, 2017, 2:57pm

Try removing the name in both cases as that’s what it’s complaining about I think.

oliverdog · July 25, 2017, 2:59pm

Try without name on both configs

Bobby_Nobble · July 25, 2017, 4:45pm

OK, I’ll rephrase that “to disconnect it from the web”, better?

Bobby_Nobble · July 25, 2017, 4:51pm

Does the RMPro definitely have a temp sensor, the spec makes no claims and all I get is ‘unknown °C’ ?

oliverdog · July 25, 2017, 4:53pm

Yes, I have two of them and both show temp normaly on HASS

Bobby_Nobble · July 25, 2017, 4:56pm

Hmm, this is my config…

sensor:
  - platform: broadlink
    update_interval: 60
    host: ip of rmpro
    mac: 'mac of rmpro'
    monitored_conditions:
      - temperature

Anything else needed?

chrisj14uk · July 26, 2017, 10:49am

Thanks oliverdog, keithh666… unfortunately no change after removing the ‘name’ lines in the config, this is in the log:

keithh666 · July 26, 2017, 5:31pm

Can you reformat the code with code blocks so we can see the formatting and spacing? Also what platform are you using (PI1-3, windows, etc)?

chrisj14uk · July 27, 2017, 1:57am

Sorted, my friend found that somehow my /etc/hosts/ file had 127.0.1.1 rather than 127.0.0.1 for localhost Thanks keithh666!
