It's possible ? [broadlink integration with home assistant]

Configuration

Hi, I recently install Home Assistant in my raspberry and I would like to know if it’s possible to create a device made up of many entities of Broadlink.

I would like to create somenthing like the image and when I click to change its state it send the single ir message to control the device. So it would be something like a complete remote.
The device that I’m trying to control is a RGB led strip.

Any help will be helpful.

You can use light group for this purpose…

The problem is that broadlink creates a type of entity that can’t be controlled as light but only through a script. This is the only way that I find to control them, but maybe there is another way that I don’t know.

Some maybe just a regular group that can take any entity types like scripts and switches?..

Maybe I will be able to use them as a light by programming them. I’m struggling with color change.
I’m using this page but I don’t understand how I should implement the scripts that correspond to each color.

light:
  - platform: template
    lights:
      faretti:
        friendly_name: "Faretti"
        turn_on:
          service: script.faretti_power
        turn_off:
          service: script.faretti_power
        set_color:
          service: script.faretti_fucsia

At the moment I’m stuck here. The power button works fine, just need to understant how set_color works.
Thanks for the help.
