This is my config. I had same problem all i did was add = <- Equals symbol to end of each command on and command off and then the switches would show up in my frontend.

I was organizing my IR buttons into scripts so that they wouldn’t be switches and I realized you might be able to bypass the whole “switches not showing up” thing if you ran scripts using the “send_packet” command example from the broadlink component page .
script:
tv_select_source:
sequence:
- service: broadlink.send_packet_192_168_0_107
data:
packet:
- "JgCMAJSSFDYUNhQ2FBEUERQRFBEUERQ2FDYUNhQRFBEUERQRFBEUERQRFDYUERQRFBEUERQRFDYUNhQRFDYUNhQ2FDYUNhQABfWUkhQ2FDYUNhQRFBEUERQRFBEUNhQ2FDYUERQRFBEUERQRFBEUERQ2FBEUERQRFBEUERQ2FDYUERQ2FDYUNhQ2FDYUAA0FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I wanted to clean up my IR blaster HASS dashboard buttons anyway by making scripts to trigger the switches, since I think it looks nicer. If you want to try that, read on – if not, no worries

I made scripts to trigger my switches, so that there’s an “activate” button instead of toggles or on/off buttons. You could just do the send_packet thing here instead.
script:
#These IR scripts are written so that HASS dashboard will display a one-shot "activate" button for these 'dumbfire' IR blasts (instead of a displaying a toggle for a smartdevice, which would falsely imply a known state of on/off for each action)

I may have gotten carried away. I re-read your post and it sounds like there could be a problem with the formatting of your capture code? Try capturing some new codes and ensure they’re in base64 ? (you already mentioned you found the capture service via: HomeAssistant > Developer Tools > Services > “Domain:” broadlink , “Service:” learn_command_192_168_1_xx , but just making sure you’re using that one).
Another thing it could be: I learned by accident that variables cannot have capital letters in them. Maybe try changing “thing”/“item”/“variable” names, like CONF_COMMAND_OFF, to lowercase.
I’d like to see your code too

@Wheezy
How did you get your A/C power & livingroom speaker amp power controls to be toggles instead of the default lightning bolts?
I don’t see any icon customizations for those.

Good question!
Hm, I can’t remember, but here’s all my code including groups and views if that helps (see All IR Blaster Code: below). I forgot to post the groups and views code above, so maybe the fact that I’ve grouped them makes HASS do this slider action instead of lightning bolts? It may also be by action of the assumed_state: false setting under each switch’s homeassistant: customize: custom display field.
A note on making single-shot “ACTIVATE” buttons though (I accidentally wrote this paragraph and then realized you probably meant those jelly bean sliders, not the activate buttons, and I also realized I already wrote about this haha, but I’m just gonna post this info anyway since this time I wrote a cleaner post): Since the broadlink creates a switch for every IR command (one command is the “on” switch, another command or the same command can be the “off” side of the switch), I created separate scripts that trigger the “on” of each Broadlink-made switch. It’s redundant code, and cumbersome to implement. I wish the Broadlink component had an easier workaround for this (I know you can just create scripts that fire IR codes, but I like to see all variable collected under the Broadlink component in my YAML, so I still use the switches).

Yes, it was the assumed_state: false that sets the display to the toggle. (thanks, @Bobby_Nobble )
But…
I ran into a situation (that I created another thread about) in which I set all the broadlink entities to assumed_state: false and all but one of them displayed the toggle afterwards. I’m not sure where the assumed_state: true was being set but it was listed in the entity attributes as true. I could force it to false there and the display changed to a toggle but as soon as I restarted HA it went right back to the two buttons again.
Someone suggested I put the assumed_state: false in the customize_glob: section for the desired switches and so far that has seemed to make it stick.
Still not sure why/where it was being set to true when none of the others were, tho.

Hi Wheezy,
really like your script and would like to learn more on creating group tab etc,
TIA…

Hey, I’m glad it helped. I think you’re wondering how to create new tabs for your main HASS dashboard? Those tabs are called “Views”. “Groups ” are basically cards on the dashboard. The “group:” area in your configuration.yaml file defines both groups and views.
I remember this being a difficult thing to learn when I was just starting too, since the terminology is so confusing. BRUH Automation’s YouTube channel helped me a lot. I recommend checking out Ben’s video here to get your started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsBtyF5tZQ4&feature=youtu.be&t=8m11s
I’ll also copy-paste part the “group:” part of my configuration.yaml file below along with some images. Please let me know if that doesn’t answer the question though. (I’ve added some devices since I last posted my code, but the above code is also still implemented in my setup).

Hi Wheezy!
First of all, I want to thank you for your help. The second is that I have a problem with the power switch, once it is in the ‘on’ state and restart home assistant, it returns to false status. I have tried many things but nothing. Does anything have to do with the recorder? I do not understand the scripts either ac_poweroff and ac_poweron.
I do not give with the key… thank you in advance!

As far as I know, HASS does not do well with saving states. It doesn’t like to assume anything. When you restart, it will lose whatever you sent last. I have the same issue with my TV power.
Therein lies the big problem with Broadlink controlled RF devices. Worth replacing anything that really matters what the state is with wifi, direct or via mqtt, controlled devices which will report state and sort themselves out when restarting HA. The ubiquitous Sonoff Basics with Tasmota are probably cheaper than the dumb device you’d be replacing.

Hey Wheezy,
Can’t thank you enough for sharing your code, Im just getting started with home assistant and you saved me a whole bunch of time and frustration.
Can you please show the config behind the group.sensor_node_1_card & group.sensor_node_2_card entries? I would like to get the temps in a card rather than the bubbles.
Thanks!

Hi
I worked out how to do the sensors in a card but Im having problems getting the switches to show up in there own card, any ideas? The temps show up fine but the switches do not, nor do they appear grouped in the main view.
Thank you

Hey, sorry this took so long. I haven’t been checking the forums lately
I use the BRUH Multisensor nodes. This is the pertinent section, but I think you want the whole code package. Here are the groups.

You might be able to do this using a the Broadlink RM component’s broadlink_send_packet command. You could set up a series of broadlink_send_packet commands inside a script .

Yes, I agree with the other two posters. I frequently refer to my own IR blasters as “dumb fire” tech: My IR-controlled space heaters sometimes get put into an incorrect state because one didn’t sense the IR command from the Broadlink blaster. This results in HomeAssistant dutifully marking the heaters as “off” after it fired the “off” command, but one heater staying on anyway on accident. From then on, my states are opposite in HomeAssistant from what they should be in real life. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it’s annoying.
My MQTT/wifi/smart switches (not IR) are smarter than that though since they report back to HomeAssistant to tell HomeAssistant their current state at any given moment. So HomeAssistant doesn’t get confused with those “smarter” devices.
I just got excited and wanted to post my setup below:
