Broadlink send in Node red

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I’m very new to Node red, about one hour new.

I’m trying to set up flows that will turn on media devices that is off.
Lets say I want to watch TV, that means the TV, Set top box and receiver needs to turn on, but also if DVD is on turn it off (I don’t have a sensor on the projector, yet…).

The problem is that this is the only way I have managed to send IR codes from Node red.

Which means I need to copy paste the packet from my configuration. I already have a switch:

  - platform: broadlink
    host: 192.168.1.112
    mac: ''
    switches:

      # TV
      tv_toggle_onoff:
        friendly_name: "TV toggle on/off"
        command_on: 'JgBUAFsbERsQDRANLSoQDRANEA0QDRANEAwRDBEMEQwRDBEMHwwRGxANEAAKxlscEBsRDBEMLSoRDBEMEA0QDRANEA0QDRANEAwRDBEMHw0QGxEMEAANBQAAAAA='
        command_off: 'JgBUAFsbERsQDRANLSoQDRANEA0QDRANEAwRDBEMEQwRDBEMHwwRGxANEAAKxlscEBsRDBEMLSoRDBEMEA0QDRANEA0QDRANEAwRDBEMHw0QGxEMEAANBQAAAAA='

Can’t I toggle the switch command on/off?
If yes, how do I do that in Node red?

When I do this:

Use the “remote” instead.
What I did there was before the new Broadlink integration and remote (I think).

Thank you! that’s what I needed

I was trying to make it way more complicated then it needed to be and put the full hex in there.

Also if its a new RM device, you need to learn the commands again to match up with the new mac address.

Thanks again :slight_smile:

You can copy the json data, if you know what you are doing.

I was going to try that, but the doco said to not edit those files manually. Oh well, next time :slight_smile:

Yes.
Use a json validator before you save. But I still wouldn’t recommend it if you are unsure about json.
