OK I now have a test HA setup running on Lubuntu 16.10. It can see my Google Home devices, AV receiver, Chromecast and Squeezeboxes, but doesn’t list the Broadlink RM Pro. Following the instructions from your link I added this to the end of my configuration.yaml file, and rebooted, but still no luck:
switch:
- platform: broadlink
host: broadlink’s IP address
mac: ‘broadlink’s mac address’
I’ve validated the config from the HA web console and it shows as valid. I’m not sure whether I should be adding a “type” entry to the config entry (my device is an RM Pro 3, which isn’t listed in the examples in the link). Is anyone out there currently using an RM Pro 3 with HA, and who can advise?
