I have a pair of BroadLink RM4 Minis set up in my house. (Both in the same room, due to the placement of devices they control.) I set them up in the BroadLink app to test them and make sure things work and that all the devices are responding to the IR controllers. I’m at the point where I have to s…

If you have the codes in the Broadlink app (cloud, not in app/phone) then you can set HA to learn and use the app to fire the command from the same Broadlink device to learn it in HA. I suggest using the remote, not switch, switch based remote commands is easy to use and find but they take up a lot…

I have a broadlink DONT us the APP I gave a static IP address add to the Integration and YES the HARD learning all the IR yes a pain in the ass but you only have to do it once [image] then goto [image] then hit the “call service” the broadlink should have a orange light on pres the remote y…

[image] myle: I have a broadlink DONT us the APP I used the app because that’s the only way I could tell the RM4 to use my SSID and the password. After that, I use the app to test it out. That’s when I found out I can’t put in one RM4 to reach the projector, the screen, and everything in the …

[image] myle: then in the swtiches bit add it the platform: broadlink if you have used remote.learn_command then you don’t need the switches. That is the whole point of remote. Switches is the “old” way of doing it, you could use both as you do, but you only need one of them, either remote …

good points as long as HA is doing her job control my house I dont care which way is old/new way

I used Broadlink Manager [1] and [2] to capture IR codes with RM4C mini. Then I defined bunch of scripts for different buttons, e.g.: sharp_tv_volume_up_ir: alias: 'Sharp TV IR volume up' sequence: service: remote.send_command target: entity_id: remote.rm4c_remote data: …

[image] myle: as long as HA is doing her job control my house I dont care which way is old/new way In this case, the reason I’m asking and trying to find out what is being used for learning codes now is because I figured the newer methods (like SmartIR) might download the codes from a DB so I…

As long as you learn one code for each remote then you can easily fill in the rest in the JSON file manually by copy paste. Just make sure what you did is correct JSON. Google JSON verify/check online and make sure it’s correct before you save.

Posting here not to create another thread. I have successfully added Broadlink RM4 Mini. I have managed to make it learn 3 codes. Today I wanted to add additional codes, but it does not read any codes sent from remote. I tried to debug it with python-broadlink and the only error I can find is the on…

BroadLink - Setting up IR codes for RM4 Mini

I use SmartIR with my Broadlink remotes, I have a mix of different models.

It is suitable for some applications although I find building the code files when one does not already exist in the SmartIR database can be tedious.
