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!
Dave
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

hi wheezy,
I have android tv and setup the on and off my tv with RM MIN3 via home assistant…but i directly want to start youtube and my remote dont have dedicated youtube button…after start my tv i have to push HOME button thane twice down and twice right button than select youtube app and than ok button so how can I send this packets to my tv?
Please help.
Thanks,
Ashish Chauhan.
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.
Thanks heaps for that! I have the parts for the Bruh sensor on the way so this is really useful.
I’m having the exact same issue as the original poster, but it’s unclear whether they solved the problem or not.
I have setup the config according to the Broadlink components page (as well as all your working configs in this thread) but the switches are not showing up on the States page or in the frontend.

Update, in case it is useful for others having the same issue:
I fixed it by adding “===” to the end of my commands.
This is my config, it works properly for me. I also added one = character to the end of my commands:
Interesting, because one “=” wouldn’t work for me. The switches would disappear from the front-end and my log would error out.
the ‘=’ characters are placeholders. the code has to be in even blocks of 16 bits (i think…or maybe 64…whatever…). you need to add different numbers of those to make the code come out evenly. some will use one, others two, etc.
It may also be by action of the
assumed_state: falsesetting under each switch’shomeassistant: customize:custom display field.
Yes, I can confirm. Setting assumed_state: false in customize file changes the lightning bolt to toggle. Thanks for this.
