Multiple broadlinks

wooconstructions · January 19, 2018, 11:07am

Hi all
I have more two broadlinks, I am not able to add the second broadlink with the following code.
error was duplicated key ‘host’
Anyone please advise me what is the correct way>
Many Thanks.

It seems a Yaml formatting error, but we can’t be sure until you post again your configuration as requested in the top blue banner in every page of the forum!!!

Please surround the code with three backticks ``` to preserve spacing and indentation.

P.S.: I don’t mean to be rude, but it seems everyone makes the same mistake again. Indentation is fundamental in Yaml, without the backticks is impossible to find errors.

Agree with above but from just looking at what you have posted it looks like you need to put a new “platform” and a - in front of each “platform”. That’s what turns it into list. Otherwise it just sees two hosts in the same entity and can’t figure out what you mean.

namadori · January 19, 2018, 12:17pm

Yes, it seems very likely he used the ###### as a separator instead of the yaml list item. But why loose an opportunity to teach a little about the forum usage?

Broadlink as a switch platform. This is the way I do for multiple broadlinks

configuration.yaml
switch: !include_dir_list config/switches/
create config folder and switches as sub-folder inside config folder
make individual broadlink.yaml file example broalink1.yaml and broadlink2.yaml inside switch folder
broadlink1.yaml
platform: broadlink
host: !secret ip_pro1
mac: !secret mac_pro1
timeout: 30
friendly_name: “Pro1”

finity · January 19, 2018, 12:24pm

yup. I did agree with you first!

namadori · January 19, 2018, 12:25pm

Today i learned the existance of command !include_dir_list. Thanks

finity · January 19, 2018, 12:29pm

Here is also what you can do if you don’t want to split the config into multiple files as Sunonline suggested:

- platform: broadlink
  host: 192.168.1.121
  mac: '34:EA:34:D0:AB:19'

      command_off: 'JgAaABweOR4bHhwdHB4dHRw6HhsdHR0dOTocAA0FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA='
- platform: broadlink
  host: 192.168.1.125
  mac: '32:EF:56:D9:AH:23'

thank you Sunonline and finity, both options works. many thanks all.

Sunonline · January 20, 2018, 6:25am

If you use rm pro. When you finish add the switch platform. You can have that in sensor platform to get the temperature from rm pro as well. This will give you sensor.office_temperature

sensor:
  platform: broadlink
  update_interval: 60
  host: !secret ip_pro1
  mac: !secret mac_pro1
  name: Office
  icon: mdi:temperature-celsius
  monitored_conditions:
    - temperature

wooconstructions · January 20, 2018, 6:40am

Hi Sunonlin, thanks very much, I have the two broadlinks on one yaml file called tv.yaml, do I add the ip address for the broadlink again for the sensor?

wooconstructions · January 20, 2018, 6:41am

O got it, I have to, thanks.

Sunonline · January 20, 2018, 6:41am

yes same broalink ip that you use but in different platform.

First platform is switch platform to get the switch.
Second platform is sensor platform to get the temperature.

Sunonline · January 20, 2018, 6:57am

After get temperature working. You might find this post also very interesting.

wooconstructions · January 20, 2018, 7:00am

you are the sun online thank you so much! learning more everyday! and loving it.

Sunonline · January 20, 2018, 7:17am

very nice. since you have so many tab. you can change tab name to icon. also the thunder icon by use group platform and homeassistant customize platform.

wooconstructions · January 20, 2018, 7:29am

I see, I will look into it, more youtube searching, my wife is not going to be happy. haha

Sunonline · January 20, 2018, 7:35am

icon for ha can be found here https://materialdesignicons.com/

###Groups Tab view###

  office_view:
    view: yes
    icon: mdi:atom

wooconstructions · January 20, 2018, 7:37am

great, many thanks.

wooconstructions · January 20, 2018, 7:45am

How about creating my own icon? can I do that?
