Your steps are correct.
It is supposed to be showed on the device list only. The frontend only shows the remotes and A1 devices.
Where did the sensor go in 0.34?
It says in the Release notes:
Sensor: Broadlink RM2 and A1 E-air support (@skyval)
But it was removed from home-assistant.io/components
ERROR:homeassistant.loader:Unable to find component sensor.broadlink
ERROR:homeassistant.bootstrap:Unable to find platform sensor.broadlink
It did not made it for this release.
But it might be added in a future release.
It should probably be removed from the release notes then until it gets released.
Also I am curious if the Broadlink switch module should be a remote as per the new harmony module.
I can see this component under the sensor category now. It seems this component is only useful if I have the A1 sensor. Unfortunately, I am using the RM Pro to control the TC2 wall switches. Is there anyway I can use HA to send command to RM Pro to turn on/off the TC2 switches?
@masterkenobi You might find this issue on the broadlink API helpful https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/issues/21
@anon35356645 Opening ports on you firewall to allow you to command internet connected devices is a really, really bad idea. I don’t mean to be a party pooper but the kind of thing you’re suggesting is the kind of thing that took out DYN in November - http://readwrite.com/2016/10/24/dyn-ddos-attack-sheds-new-light-on-the-growing-iot-problem-dl4/

Hello.
I would like to know if is possible turn on and turn off some devices if i buy 4 rm3 mini, but through HA. Whats i need? Already have Ha running on raspberry.
Yes, it is possible to control InfraRed devices through RM3 mini, but once you don’t have feedback, you will need to find a turn on and a turn off IR command instead of a toggle command (from device’s remote control).
The easy way is buying a RmMini and wait the official Broadlink Switch Release by HASS.
How can you find the on/off signal instead of the toggle signal?
but I don’t think the problem can go away, or?
When will this component be included?
On remotes?
On my panasonic TV I used a Harmony remote. The original remote had only one button (both on and off), the harmony remote had 3 (ON, OFF, TOGGLE), so I could program correctly ON and OFF.
Thanks, my remote only has a toggle button 
if you tell me which remote is it, I can check my harmony remote if in its database has the On and Off (not toggle) button separately and send you the code
You need to use another device with a IR database and find those commands there.
You can use Harmony or an Android phone with IR blaster hardware.
I use Galaxy S6 and this app to find the ON and OFF commands.
Give us the model you want and we get it from our devices.
What problem? The feedback absence wiIl never go away. But we can pass over it by never using toggle devices.
There are cheap 433mhz switches which use two different commands to turn on and off, allowing to send two or three times the same command to ensure it worked.
yes I understand.
Which switches for example?
If your talking about AC switches ready to use, I personally consider the best cost-benefict the Etekcity sold on Amazon:
But talking about in-wall switches, the best cost-benefict is not ready to use.
We can adapt this:

and connect the manual switch in parallel with the RF switch.
I recently found this one and would like to test it:

What do you think of the Sonoff products?
Hi Everyone, first time HA user, trying to get a broadlink A1 to work.
(i’'m on windows) installed python & ha.
got the broadlink.py component from github (which version is the correct one? tried both the aa74… as mentioned above, and - what i thought was latest - 6472… )
and updated the configuration.yaml as per the component on the HA site.
both versions of broadlink.py fail with an ImportError: No module named ‘Crypto’
tried both installing Crypto and pycrypto (failed with a csvars.bat missing)
but i keep getting the same error… what am I doing wrong?
thanks!
–update:(not sure is this from trying too many things at once but) now I get this in the log:
16-12-13 22:22:32 homeassistant.loader: Unable to find component sensor.broadlink
16-12-13 22:22:32 homeassistant.bootstrap: Unable to find platform sensor.broadlink
any pointers would be much appreciated.
