you have TC2 switch? Can they dim a non smart bulb?

15

No. It can’t dim any lights. It just an on/off switch

16

Hi everyone,

I have the same TC2 switch. I have the same problem which i’m unable to learn the command from home assistant. :frowning:

17

Who said TC2 is supported? Am I missing something here?

18

Ow so you mean is not supported yet on TC2? I was asking around and i got a reply from Daniel that use the latest broadlink file and i was just trying out it works but its not. :frowning:

19

isn’t??

20

I know that thread. but where does it says TC2 is supported? @Danielhiversen you didn’t say anything about TC2 is supported, right? The last reply I got from you is [quote=“Danielhiversen, post:6, topic:7904”]
TC2 needs to be supported by the library we are using, before we can add support for it
[/quote]

21

Daniel is a great guy and great programmer … but not in clarity :smiley:

22

Hehe. :wink:
I am sorry for the confusion.
I am a bit confused my self by all the different Broadlink devices :slight_smile:

23

Thanks. Since my phone is not rooted, I am following the getBroadlinkSharedData.py method. Unfortunately, I cannot find jsonSubIr, jsonButton or jsonIrCode files. This is what I see…

Nvm about this. I can view the files via my phone explorer. Don’t know why it is not showing in my PC.

@oliverdog

I tried to run the script but it returns this error…

$ python3 getBroadlinkSharedData.py
  File "getBroadlinkSharedData.py", line 32
    print "ID:", jsonSubIrData[i]['id'], "| Name:", jsonSubIrData[i]['name']
              ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

Please help.

Use python2

30

Thanks. But now I am receiving this error…

$ python2 getBroadlinkSharedData.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "getBroadlinkSharedData.py", line 20, in <module>
    import simplejson as json
ImportError: No module named simplejson

FYI, I installed simplejson using pip3 install simplejson. When I tried to reinstall it using pip, it says…

$ pip install simplejson
Requirement already satisfied: simplejson in /usr/local/lib/python3.4dist-packages
31

I manage to install Python2 in my Windows PC and manage to generate the text file filed with the TC2 codes. Will try to use the codes in my configuration soon.

@Danielhiversen

I put the codes into my configuration…

switch:
  platform: broadlink
  host: 192.168.1.000
  mac: 'AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA'
  switches:
    carporch_light:
      command_on: 'e9144600df090916091616090916091616091609160916091609160916090916160916091609160909161609091609161609160916090916091609161609160916090916160909000148'
      command_off: 'e9144600df090916091609160916160909161609160909160916091609161609160916091609091616091609160916090916091609160916160916091609160909161609160909000148'

It is not working. Any idea why?

33

That looks like hex format,
You have to convert it to the correct format,
You can try:

34

I am sorry. How do I use this…?

from base64 import b64encode, b64decode
hex_data  = "e9144600df090916160916090916091616090916160916090916160916090916160909161609091616091609160916091609160916091609091609160916160909161609091609000148"
packet = hex_data.decode('hex')
b64encode(packet).decode('utf8')
