Broadlinkac2mqtt - Control your broadlink-based air conditioner with Home Assistant

Hey there!
I’m struggling with the add-on installation :frowning_face: When I try to install it, after a few minutes I get Out of memory error. Then if I restart, supervisor can’t start and I have to reinstall the OS

I’m using a raspberry pi 3b+, any ideas? Thanks

I hope this can provide a value: New custom integration to control Tornado (aux cloud) aircon

I also have an AC AUX Q-SMART PREMIUM, and I’m experiencing the same problem as you. :frowning:
Have you made any progress with it? Maybe you’ve found a solution?

Hi! for anyone interested I created version of this integration that doesn’t require MQTT or Add Ons. It’s just a Home Assistant custom component. It can be installed via HACS or by copying to the config/custom_components folder.

This is the link: GitHub - maxm/broadlink-ac: Broadlink AC Home Assistant Custom Component

It’s using the same protocol originally implemented by https://github.com/liaan/broadlink_ac/ so if that addon worked for you this should work too.

I’ve added 3 units and are working with default thermostat card. No auto mode, no swing mode. Not all functions you can see on AC Fredom App.
Edit: Using Max’s component

Hi Max,

I’ve been able to successfully install your version and have been able to add the device via IP and mac address but currently cant figure out how to get my Broadlink remote to send commands.

The link you provide to that other broadlink_ac project 404’s, I assume because its archived or something similar. Are you able to provide any guidance/documentation on how to get this to send a command to power on the device?
