To install two switches;
switch 1:
platform: broadlink
host: IP_ADDRESS1
mac: 'MAC_ADDRESS2'
switches:
reciever:
command_on: 'switch_packet on'
command_off: 'switch_packet off'
switch 2:
platform: broadlink
host: IP_ADDRESS2
mac: 'MAC_ADDRESS2'
switches:
reciever:
command_on: 'switch_packet on'
command_off: 'switch_packet off'There seems to be a bug in the broadlink repo: https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/issues/24
So until that is fixed, you have to manually install crypto
How to?
I did this
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pip install pycrypto
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pycrypto in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Cleaning up…
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
I installed it by using…
sudo pip install pycrypto
You should install it for python 3 not 2.7
It depends of how you have installed hass.
If you have a virtual environment, enable it first and then run pip3 install pycrypto
It should be a bit similar to how you upgrade hass.
yes virtual environemnt AIO installer on Pi3. Trying now
switch:
And none of the switch commands are working? Have you tried to install crypto?
Why do the Air Quality, Noise and Light status now are showed as “0” or “1” instead of Excelent, Normal and Dark?
Have you noticed that as well?
And my switches seems not be working as well. Worked just one time, and than nothing anymore… Trying to reboot HA now.
my config:
switch:
platform: broadlink
host: 192.168.1.153
mac: 'b4:43:0d:XX:XX:XX'
switches:
reciever:
command_on: 'JgBUAFATExQnEyYUJxMUEyYUFBMnExQTExQTExQAAx5NFBIVJhQmFCcTFBMnExMUJxMTFBMTExQUAAMeTRQSFCcTJxQnExMUJhQSFSYUExMTFBQTFAANBQAAAAA='

command_off: '1xU0ABQrMg8RLTEPES4xDxEuMQ8RLTEPES0xEBEtMQ8QLzAPES4RLhEuES4RLhEuMQ8xEBEAAdkAAAAA'
friendly_name: 'Luzes Natal'I decided that number is better than text, because then you will get a graph. If you want text, you can make a template sensor
Agreed!!!
But the switches are not working here!
They work just once on each HA reboot.
I followed instructions
"How to obtain IR/RF packets?
Choose Call Service from the Developer Tools. Choose the service broadlink/learn_command from the list of Available services: and hit CALL SERVICE. Press the button on your remote with in 20 seconds. The packet will be printed in the log and as a persistent notification."
where is the packet??? Which log?
@oliverdog: Any errors in the log?
@anon35356645: In home assistant log or as a persistent notification on the frontpage of hass
in the home assistant log I can’t find it (EDIT what do I look for?)
Yes I see it in the persistent log, but I can’t copy it (beside I don’t see it all
To get it in the log you should enable homeassistant.components.switch.broadlink: info
For the persistent message please report it as a bug here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/new
“To get it in the log you should enable homeassistant.components.switch.broadlink: info”
it should go in configuration yaml?
I get this in log
16-12-18 20:12:39 homeassistant.loader: Unable to find component homeassistant.components.switch.broadlink
try double click on the code so that it is selected. then just right click and copy.
I wish I could, I restarted home assistant, now the call service is not working. Lots of errors in the log

nothing in the log, not even if set for info mode.
I think the problem is with RF command repeated for on and off, trying again with command_on only
Update:
An old RF package was causing the problem…
I relearned the RF code and now everything working with the new package
