It seems that if you edit broadlink/init.py you can fix this issue. Problem is I don’t know where to find this file X)

In the internet I found some references, but it didn’t worked for me. Mayb you have more luck:

/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/homeassistant/components/broadlink/init.py
/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.7/site-packages/broadlink/init.py

As you see in the above links, the integration is still open.

Anybody with any solution?

It’s not a solution, it is a workaround. Find the error code in your log (In my case it was 0x653c and the the model is a RM4 Pro, proceed accordly). Then, SSH to HA: image

After that you will be able to integrate (no restart needed). Keep in mind that if you update HA, it will stop to work. Restart should be ok.

There is a way that can be easier (for RM4 Pro 0x653c):

  1. Open Home Assistant and install “SSH & Web Terminal” add-on
  2. Disable Protection mode
  3. Connect to the device via SSH and install the patch:
ssh USER@IPADDRESS
docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash
pip3 install git+https://github.com/felipediel/python-broadlink.git@patch-23 --force-reinstall --no-deps
  1. Restart the server.

I have a RM4 Pro that I just received and installed from Ali Express also and I am not able to add it to HA even after I installed the patch above and restarted the server. It is unlocked from the app and I still get Device Not Supported when attempting to add device to HA integration.

I have a Broadlink RM4 Pro from last december and I get the same message “Device not supported” when trying to integrate it in HA.
I did everything with no success, so I gave up and use the evil thing only with it’s app
…until an expert would solve the integration in the future.
Thanks everyone for your comments and please, brainy experts, work on it!

And when I add it this way I dont actually get to see the temp and humidity sensor either.

I have it working. But the RF functionality of it isn’t working as intended

18

Yep, I got it to work without much trouble… just to realize my remote is bluetooth :sweat_smile:

19

Anyone tried installing this fix in 2021.01.5? It breaks my boot.

20

Any logs that might hint at a reason?
