Multiple Broadlink Devices

Third party integrations
1

Hello,

I just got the Broadlink 3 mini and i love it and i wanted to deploy another one and i was wandering if its possible to have 2 or more and how would the configuration look ?

Thank you

You can add a “friendly_name” to your broadlink device… So I would assume just create a second switch with platform broadlink and give it another name?!

Bye,
Daniel

Hi,

I have the same problem. I am only able to get the first switch to appear in my home assistant front page. What am I doing wrong?

switch 1:
  - platform: broadlink
    friendly_name: 'broadlink Mini'
    timeout: 15
    host: XXX.168.1.XXX
    mac: 'XX:EA:XX:CC:XX:XX'
    switches:
#      reciever:
#        command_on: 'switch_packet on'
#        command_off: 'switch_packet off'
      study_tv:
        friendly_name: "Study TV"
        command_on: 'JgBQAAABKJMRFBEUETkRExEUERQRFBEUETkROBEUETkRORE4ETkROREUERMRFBE5ERQRFBEUERMRORE5ETkRExE5ETkRORE4EQAFKwABJkwRAA0FAAAAAAAAAAA='

switch 2: 
  - platform: broadlink
    friendly_name: 'broadlink RMPro'
    timeout: 15
    host: 192.168.X.XXX
    mac: 'XX:XX:34:XX:XX:XX'
    switches:
      reciever:
        command_on: 'switch_packet on'
        command_off: 'switch_packet off'
      living_room_tv:

Still the same. Only Study TV appears. Living Room TV is still no where to be seen…

6

Did you add it to group?

Check Developer Tools/Stats (< >) does it show up in that list?

Any errors in the log?

7

The second switch Living Room TV does not appear in <>.

Where do I check the log?

8

Check your logs and read https://home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/troubleshooting/
There it will say that command_on: 'switch_packet on' is an invalid command.

Hi Daniel,

Sorry to deviate, do you know how I can program multiple button presses into Yaml? e.g. to simulate that I pressed the button twice on my remote.

@azeroth12 was connect, make sure you have the dash in front of “platform”, it didn’t work before I added the dash and it works completely fine without the dash when I had one RM device. Good luck.

Do you still have this issue?

Anyway to recognize the switches on both broadlink device?
Thank you
