Broadlink S3 hub support

Mandrake1967 · June 14, 2023, 8:20am

Anyone else getting a error following the 2023.6.1 update?

Platform support not supported

The broadlink platform for the light integration does not support platform setup.

Please remove it from your configuration and restart Home Assistant to fix this issue.

Error - 12/06/2023

Help much appreciated as I don’t really want to remove the config files…

Well I decided to remove the offending lines from the config.yaml and it does not seem to have impacted the operation of this daemon app. It might be me messing about in the past trying to get the original broadlink integration to work with the S3 hub and light switches. I wish this would be built into the general broadlink integration but for some reason it does not seem to have got any traction.

Hi, thanks for the great work! im also trying to get my PIR3 to run.

Tried changing using your codes but getting a compile_error in appdaemon.

not too sure which part went wrong. any help will be most appreciated!

Hi all,

New to the forum, so apologies for any breaks in etiquette. I’ve skimmed through this thread and reluctant to start adding docker instances in and piles of python. I could, but I’m really trying to keep my HA as clean as possible with the supported integrations.

Which leads me t o my question. Is there any sign of Broadlink adding support for the S3 hub and subsequent LC-1/2/3 light switches? Anybody have any information?

Cheers,
Hod

Hi I suspect the answer is probably no, but you would need to talk to the BroadLink maintainers of the home assistant plug-in for the final say. I am in the process of swapping out my BroadLink switches as they fail too often.

The docker container that I posted originally has worked flawlessly for me and is simple to get up and running.

Just updated to Home Assistant 2023.7.3.

Facing this error for all my switches.

More of an FYI one of my LC1s broke recently and I had to replace it. I decided to try the new-ish MoesGo ZigBee switches, and they just work.

I know lots of us got the LC1s because there were few options of good none buzzing no-neutral switches at the time but there does seem to be some other options now.

stevendodd · October 4, 2023, 3:43pm

I did exactly the same thing … +1

hichi · October 9, 2023, 12:05pm

Has anyone managed to fix appdaemon going to idle every few hours and needing a restart?

hichi · October 10, 2023, 9:58am

managed to fix it by only having 1 GET request for all entities (gangs) rather than one for each.

Only problem now is the switch keeps going offline. Anyone know why?

Blink182_joel · October 16, 2023, 2:40pm

Hi Hichi, how did you change to only one GET request? I have three entities, one for each switch.

Cheers,

Joel

hichi · October 16, 2023, 5:35pm

it’s a bit messy but basically instead of doing a run_in for each switch, you handle all switches and pass the entity_ids list, rather than just one.

here is my (totally terribly messy) broadlink_s3_hub.py script that does so, I’ve also added some exception catching to deal with the switch’s constant shenanigans of going offline. I’m still going to be putting my switch in the bin however as it just keeps disconnecting from the hub.

lpt2007 · June 5, 2024, 6:26am

Does this solution still work? I have 5pcs switches with four buttons broadlink scene switch SC4B4. And I’m thinking of buying an S3 hub to be able to use them in the home assistant.

stevendodd · June 5, 2024, 9:18am

I imagine it does still work, however I would highly recommend going with a zigbe solution perhaps the Moes switches as they are more reliable. I write the original integration with the python libraries and have since replaced all my switches.

lpt2007 · June 5, 2024, 3:43pm

thx for quick reply @stevendodd

If there is no other option, I will try. I only need appdeamon integration to work? Do I still need a docker image?

stevendodd · June 5, 2024, 6:11pm

I believe you only need the appdeamon, although I never ran it and I only supplied the docker image. I believe it was provided so that docker was not required.

radaas · July 23, 2024, 5:33am

Starting to lose the will to live on trying to get this to work, I have followed the guides and peoples comments when helpful info is given

I am going to try an be as comprehensive as I can, to act as a full guide for someone else and to cover all my bases, so that someone can help

I have all of these that I need to set up with Broadlink

But I have been trying 6-8 hours a day for the last 3 days to set one of these up (it is 6am in the morning as I write this, and I have been going strong since 9pm and I have work in 3 hours!

And just tried one of these

I have installed HACs and the following programs

I have unlocked the S3 hub in the broadlink app

In AppDaemon
I have added the package

I think this looks fine

This looks fine

I have stored the 14 files where they should be and the broadlink S3 hub in a folder above it called broadlink

ONE ODD THING,

I installed via HACS and for some reason I did not have a apps.yaml file, so I did create it

But I also have this file which is another apps.yaml

So I duplicated the file above here

Conbee stick is in play and has been autenticated

for this to work

for my Aqara sensors to work

As essentially I have the Aqara sensors/presence sensor/vibration and door sensors controlling the Broadlink light switches / govee lights / govee LEDs. Tapo lights / Lepro lights / Meross/Amazon/Gosund plugs and Switchbot various

Basically since lockdown, I got watching Paul Hibbert and bought so much smart tech and everything works perfectly in the Amazon ecosystem, but wanted to advance it a little with HA

I have noticed that in some other posts people have posted this, not sure it helps here for the appdaemon.yami

It was another 2 days of this, for 3 days straight I had been working on it after work until 6-7am and then waking up for work at 9am

Since the above post I also wiped it clean and started again

It now works and I realised what it is was

Appdaemon had an update that changed the whole file structure, I spotted it before when I said ‘the Odd thing is’ when I found the app file elsewhere, basically you have to build out your structure and file system in a higher root system for it to work

The thing that seems odd is that the callbacks are coming thick and fast, and I do not know if this is ok that it is as rapid as it is and if it is harming the system

This is how it looks on the dashboard for now, once you get the code working…I noticed that no one ever screenshotted their overview, so someone like me coming into it, wouldn’t know what to expect to see

the time it took me to write this the call backs now look like this

Is that even normal?
