Issues with Broadlink RF

Configuration Frontend
1

I can’t learn any code in HA RF, I go to services and look for the remote.learn command service and press the button on the remote control and I can’t record anything, I tried two more controls and the same thing! On Broadlink yes I could! the problem is in HA

2

Has anyone had this happen to them?

No.

Is the Broadlink device correctly configured into HA through the Broadlink integration? Also make sure you have not registered the Broadlink RF to the Broadlink cloud!

I found the steps below helped me.

Solution:
I finally get it work after hundreds of trial. My device is RM Pro+ (not RM4 Pro) so it might be a bit different.

  1. First I deleted all the learned but not working codes in broadline_code file under ‘.storage’

  2. Then I start with learning one button first. Keep checking the same file and if i works, there should be a new code starting with “sxxxXXXXXXxxxxx” (see the attached photo) and if it doesn’t work or can’t be captured, the file will not even update or getting a code starting with “Axxxxxxxx” which I would know to do it again.

  3. Then follow the usual procedure to developer tools> learn command.

  4. When you press “call services” then in the left notification you should receive a message saying “sweeping frequency - Press and hold the button you want to learn” (1st notification). At this point you can open the notification before you press the remote button. From you have to react quickly thereafter, once you press and hold button (first press), do NOT look at the broadlink device, just look at the HA screen when you do it. How long do you need to do the first press depends on

when will the 1st notification disappear.

  1. Once the 1st notification disappear you have to quickly release the remote button.

  2. Then after 2-3s later, there will be a 2nd notification in the left column (if you have no notifications before, it means you will see a yellow circle with “1”). Then immediately, do not waste time to open that notification and just quickly press the remote button again (“2nd press”). If you do it right, there will be a green check at the bottom right, and also the 2nd notification will disappear too.

  3. There you go. you can check the broadline_code file to see if the RF code is successfully captured.

  4. The key difference from what I read from other posts is - you don’t need to read what the LED is showing or blinking while learning. You just need to look at the HA screen.

  5. If you can learn the first button, it means you can do the rest easily.
