Broadlink RM-PRO and TC2 switch

masterkenobi · January 13, 2017, 3:50am

Anyway guys. I have tested and it is still NOT working for me. This is what I did.

I have replaced the original /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/homeassistant/components/switch/broadlink.py with the one I got from https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/switch/broadlink.py1 after edit the line 183 to become self._device.send_data(binascii.unhexlify(packet))
I downloaded the getBroadlinkSharedData.py file and add these lines; import base64 to the top and then code = base64.b64encode(code+code) below code = ''.join('%02x' % (i & 0xff) for i in jsonIrCodeData[i]['code'])
I use the generated code into my configuration…

example:

- platform: broadlink
  host: 192.168.1.999
  mac: 'XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'
  type: rm
  switches:
    entrance_light:
      command_on: 'ZTkxNDQ2MDBkZjA5MTYwOTE2MDkwOTE2MDkx....'
      command_off: 'ZTkxNDQ2MDBkZjA5MDkxNjA5MTYwOTE2MDkxN....'

It is still not working. Did I do anything wrong?

I am sorry. I don’t understand what you are trying to tell me.

NightRanger · January 13, 2017, 11:39am

@masterkenobi I am using version 0.35.3 on a raspberry pi, I didn’t replace any file I used the original one and changed only:

self.device.senddata(packet)

to

self.device.senddata(binascii.unhexlify(packet))

Maybe that’s why mine was at line 148 and yours was at line 183

And this is how my config file looks like:

It’s not working, even if i use only SP2

switch:
platform: broadlink
host: 10.0.0.4
mac: ‘b4:43:00:00:00:00’
type: sp2
friendly_name: ‘Router’

Danielhiversen · January 13, 2017, 12:22pm

You need to use the dev version. A new release will probably come during the weekend.

NightRanger · January 13, 2017, 12:38pm

Oh I see…I’ll wait for the release than.

Btw: does HA have an option to use on/off http commands ?

I have URL for an accessory that accepts http get requests with different values for on and off, is that possible?

Thanks!

Check out the switches components:

Here you will find the RESTfull switch:

Danielhiversen · January 13, 2017, 12:56pm

The RESTfull switch is probably the best choice.

NightRanger · January 13, 2017, 1:30pm

Thanks, but it looks like it support only post requests and get requests are just for getting the status, the command line with curl is good enough:)

masterkenobi · January 13, 2017, 3:37pm

@NightRanger

OK. I have revert it back to the original version but with modified line 148

But what I am confuse on is how to get the base64 code you are getting. Based on your original getBroadlinkSharedData.py, let say from there the hex code I got is…

hexcode = '123456abcdef'

is this how to get the correct base64 code?

base64code = base64.b64encode(hexcode)

or…

base64code = base64.b64encode(hexcode+hexcode)

mikehole · January 13, 2017, 3:49pm

here is an example of what I type into my Raspberry Pi:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python
Python 2.7.9 (default, Sep 17 2016, 20:26:04)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from base64 import b64encode, b64decode
>>> hex_data  = "b24632001c0a1c1b0c1b0c1b0c0a1c1b0c0a1c0a1c0a1c0a1c0a1c0a1c1b0c0a1c1b0c0a1c1b0c1b0c1b0c0a1c0a1c1b0c1b0c1b0cc5000000000000"
>>> packet = hex_data.decode('hex')
>>> b64encode(packet).decode('utf8')
u'skYyABwKHBsMGwwbDAocGwwKHAocChwKHAocChwbDAocGwwKHBsMGwwbDAocChwbDBsMGwzFAAAAAAAA'
>>>

AFAIK this is still all applicable. Also note this code is a different code I am suing for a standard RF device so it’s not been entered twice.

mikehole · January 13, 2017, 3:51pm

It’s this code that I then use:

NightRanger · January 13, 2017, 4:12pm

@masterkenobi For TC2 use duplicated code:

base64code = base64.b64encode(hexcode+hexcode)

Example:

import base64

myhex = "e90a4200df0909160916091616091609091616091609091616091609160916091609091616090916091616090916091616090916091609161609091616091609160909161609"

encoded = base64.b64encode(myhex + myhex)

print encoded

masterkenobi · January 13, 2017, 4:26pm

thanks but it is still not working. actually I am unsure of one thing in the documentation. The device MAC address I need to put in is the MAC address of my RM Pro which can be obtained from the router, right?

NightRanger · January 13, 2017, 4:33pm

Yes, or from the e-control app device list in the following format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

masterkenobi · January 13, 2017, 4:36pm

okay… then i really have no idea why it is not working for me

NightRanger · January 13, 2017, 4:38pm

Do you have any errors in your HA logs ?

masterkenobi · January 13, 2017, 4:48pm

yes. this is the error i can find.
