No, it is only meant to transmit. The original main goal was to be able to use Pronto hex codes.
If I can be entirely honest, I think it is unlikely that I will invest much effort in the receiving functionality. Maybe somebody who needs to scratch that itch might one day fork the code and work on that.
Regarding your use case, AFAIK the hardware is not normally receiving and must be put in that mode. I also think that it doesn’t stay in that mode for more than a minute or so, and it unilaterally stops receiving. To solve your problem the bridge should be putting the hardware in receive mode and making it stay that way, get the signals and do IR protocol decoding in order to get a clean version that it can match against and send an event back to HASS. This might be doable on paper, but as I wrote it is very unlikely that I will ever end up implementing this. And if the hardware can cope with being in receive mode all the time without ill effects is another big unknown.
Sorry to hear that, I don’t know why this not implemented in broadlink switch component? Looks like the broadlink hw is very limited.
Do you know If there is ir + wifi hw that is in learning mode if no send sending codes and work with ha? Maybe this is posible with esphome and diy hardware?
Can you please share the IR codes that you use for the kitchen hood. I’m looking for the codes of siemens that seem to be the same as for many manufactures

Hi. I just tried to install, but when I click Install, I get the following error message:
The command ‘/bin/ash -o pipefail -c apk add git gcc musl-dev libffi-dev openssl-dev’ returned a non-zero code: 5
Any idea what might cause this? FYI I’m running HA supervised. I did have the Motion-eye add-on installed as well, but I was not using it so removed it when I saw the note about a port conflict on one of the info pages.
I believe that you are using i386. I tried to rebuild the images and that is the only platform where I saw this happening. For some reason, python3 is not installed in the base image from Home Assistant. I amended the build instructions and if you refresh and try again, it should work. Actually it was my bad: I didn’t specify the proper base image for i386. Anyway, it is fixed now.
Hi. Sorry for the delay replying. I’m running on an Intel i3 NUC. If you have updated the package, do I need to do anything other than try the Install link again? I’m still getting the same error as of a couple of minutes ago.
OK - just looked in the supervisor logs and there is loads more error info. I have a feeling this might be the fact that I’m running supervised on an unsupported base OS (Ubuntu instead if Debian). FYI here is the relevant part of the log. If the errors are down to the OS then it might be the spur for me to finally move over to Debian

Not quite sure what is going on. The error seems to indicate a network problem in your environment: the package index files couldn’t be downloaded from dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org.
Me neither! It’s not just my network blocking the address, though, as entering that address in Chrome on my laptop downloads the file. It’s clearly something to do with my setup, though, so I’ll do some digging. Thanks for taking a look.
