Converting discrete IR codes so HA can control Broadlink RM Pro

Configuration
1

Hi there, I’m new to this forum and hope you can help. Apologies if this has already been answered on another thread, it’s just that anything I try doesn’t seem to work!

I’m using HA (configuation.yaml) to program discrete IR codes into my Broadlink RM Pro that controls my TV. I can already do this once I have the required code in the correct format. Getting the code in the correct format is my problem.

For example, I’ve obtained a new hex code (e.g: 0000 006D 0000 0022…) to send a command to my TV, but I don’t know the process to convert this code to the correct format for use on my Broadlink RM Pro. I’m not 100% sure, but think the RM Pro uses something called PRONTO HEX format. It needs to look like this “JgBGAJKVETkRORA6…AAA==”.

Any guidance appreciated!!

To be clear, I want to use discrete IR codes, not to learn IR codes using a remote control. Thanks!

Thanks @tom_l very helpful. Although I’m still having an issue generating the code I need, it looks like I’m hitting the same issues as others so have posted a question in that thread. Thanks

I felt the same pain. I have developed a bridge so you don’t need to convert them.
