Broadlink & Roku Custom Card

Configuration
1

Hi, so I’ve recently been playing around with my Broadlink RM3 along with SmartIR to control my AC units, and was also playing around with it controlling the TV in my bed room, I currently control the Roku in that room, using the Roku Custom Card from HACS, and was playing with the volume_up volume_down buttons on the remote and managed to add in the revelant IR commands and service calls as below

entity: media_player.bedroom
tv: true
type: 'custom:roku-card'
volume_down:
  tap_action:
    action: call-service
    service: broadlink.send
    data:
      host: 192.168.1.18
      packet:         JgBYAAABIZQSFBE4EhQSExISEhMSExMSETgTExI4EjgROBI4FDYUERMSEDkTOBMSExETExM2EhMUNhEUExITNxE4EjgSFBI3EgAFRQABJksTAAxWAAEmSxEADQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==
volume_up:
  tap_action:
    action: call-service
    service: broadlink.send
    data:
      host: 192.168.1.18
      packet:    JgCAAAABIZURFBI4ERQRExMSEhQSEhQREjgTEhI4ETkTNhI4EzgSEhM3EjgRORI4EhIVEREUEhMSEhMTExETEhI4EjgTNxE4FQAFQgABJ0sRAAxYAAElSxMADFkAASNLEQAMWAABJUsUAAxZAAEiSxIADFcAASZLEgAMVgABJ0oSAA0FAAAAAAAA

However - when i try to send the command i get the following error

Failed to call service broadlink/send. required key not provided @ data['packet']

and when I go to look at the card again i noticed that it has added this >- infront of the packet? does anyone have any ideas?

entity: media_player.bedroom
tv: true
type: 'custom:roku-card'
volume_down:
  tap_action:
    action: call-service
    service: broadlink.send

Yeah if i do it manually it works fine, so i tried to copy it from there and boom error… even if i add it as just a Button and not part of the custom card, i get the same error

Huzzah! superstar, thanks @Burningstone, i even spotted that bit in the Broadlink notes for the integration, but figured the custom card had everything else as data, it needed to be the same :stuck_out_tongue:
