sorry about that

Ashfaaa · January 28, 2017, 10:54am

it worked thank you.

when I learn a code it does not show in logbook, it shows as a notification in the frontend. how can I copy it?

mvdarend · March 10, 2017, 7:33am

You can also find the code under Developer Tools → States.

Hi I just used the

getBroadlinkSharedData.py

script to get the TC2 codes dumped.

I have a TC2 2 Gang, but the TC2.TXT files contains 6 codes … (Button ID from 245 to 250).

But I should have 2 codes no (or maybe 4, but not 6)???

anon35356645 · April 9, 2017, 11:19am

Following these instructions

and getting the error
Input strings must be a multiple of 16 in length

I do not understand these phrases of the instruction

“If not working keep going 3,4,5,6 time until it works with the script.”

meand duplicate the code 3, 4, 5, 6 times???

Hi I have a strange problem.

I control a TC2 switch (RF433) from the RMPRO in HASS. When I trigger the switch with the automation, the signal sent is 2-3 times, so the TC2 goes ON, then OFF, then ON again. Same for when sending the signal OFF (goes OFF, then ON, then OFF).

A bit annoying.

I converted the TC2 signal following the instructions

af950833 · May 7, 2017, 1:09am

Your TC2 code is so long.
The length of TC code is usually 148 and converted code is like a below.
“6RRGAN8JCRYWCQkWCRYJFhYJCRYWCQkWFgkJFgkWFgkJFgkWCRYWCRYJCRYWCQkWFgkWCRYJFgkWCRYJFgkWCQkWCRYWCQkAAUg=”
But it doesn’t now work in HA

You have to add ‘AAA=’ between the last ‘g’ and ‘=’ like this.
“6RRGAN8JCRYWCQkWCRYJFhYJCRYWCQkWFgkJFgkWFgkJFgkWCRYWCRYJCRYWCQkWFgkWCRYJFgkWCRYJFgkWCQkWCRYWCQkAAUgAAA==”
It will work well.

No my problem,solved, was the position of the door sensor (vertical), putting them horizontal worked.

The code is 6 times long, only code working

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to get the states of the switches into frontend?

At the moment, when I turn on/off on the TC2 physically, the states on frontend do not change.

Also I can’t figure out how to change the title of the switch from “Switch”. I tried changing friendly_name to “Main” and Main (without quotes). Is this a bug or a configuration issue?

This is my config:
switch:

platform: broadlink
host: 10.160.0.80
mac: ‘34:EA:34:E7:F8:D6’
friendly_name: Main
timeout: 30

NightRanger · June 19, 2017, 9:25am

@osiris You can’t get the state from the TC2 switches because they are RF based switches so if you turn on/off physically you will not be able to see the change in HA.

Regarding the display of the switches names you should create a group and add it to the view you would like to see it in, for example, the default view, it should be something like this:

 switch:
  platform: broadlink
  host: 10.0.0.12
  mac: 'B4:00:00:00:00:00'
  timeout: 15
  switches:
    entrance_light:
      friendly_name: "Entrance Light"
      command_on: 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=='
      command_off: 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=='

    side_light:
      friendly_name: "Side Lights"
      command_on: 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=='
      command_off: 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=='


group:
  default_view:
    view: yes
    icon: mdi:home 
    entities:
      - group.g_entrance

  g_entrance:
    name: Entrance
    entities:
      - switch.entrance_light
      - switch.side_lights

osiris · June 19, 2017, 9:33am

Thanks @NightRanger !

Any suggestions on how I can now get states on my lights setup? change the bulbs perhaps?

NightRanger · June 19, 2017, 9:34am

Use wifi light bulbs or zwave light switches instead of rf that are supported by HA.

Sthope · July 6, 2017, 10:11am

If they are compatible, you can build a RFLink Gateway i guess http://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/devlist
