Broadlink switch - basic help please!

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have a Broadlink RMPro that is going to be used to issue commands to a bunch of bus-based relays (actually ESI but not specifically relevant)

I seem to be stuck at the most basic point, namely i can’t see the switch in HA, so can’t ‘press’ it to test / use it!

By following the documentation, the Broadlink is all connected and learning commands, confirmed as working as strings are in the broadlink_remote_MACADDRESS_codes file. I have created a switch with this in configurations.yaml:

switch:

  • platform: universal01
    mac: MAC_ADDRESS
    switches:
    • name: bathroom_light
      command_on: blahblah
      command_off: blahblah

I am expecting to see the switch appear in devices but it doesn’t. Can anyone help?

I think maybe the platform should be “broadlink” instead of “universal01”.
