Hello,
I have been using Home Assistant for a very long time - I love the system and get a lot of automation done using it.
I have been upgrading all the time to the top latest versions without delays. Working over all what was broken after the upgrade and continue with the next day of automation.
For me, Everything was OK till version 0.115
This version integrate Broadlink integration - I already had my Vroadlink RM Pro and Minis 3 working in the house with version 0.114 so well that I have so many RC on my HA interface that control almost everything.
The problem I am facing now is - the new integration wants me to choose between the Broadlink App and HA. that is for sure something that I can not choose - since everyone in the house using the App already and I have set all my Broadlinks to work with it including scenes and everything is great.
In version 0.114 I have been able to work both ways - with the App and HA - but NOW version 0.115 came along and ask me to give access to the rm mini 3 - of which I also saw that the same goes with rm mini 4 as well.
I have checked with friends that have told me that after the integration with the new Broadlink in version 0.115 the have lost the control in the app for the mini3 and mini4.
I am not sure how to move forward from here - since I am NOT going to remove my rm minis and pro from the Broadlink app - there is no chance for that at all.
But, At this point I am loosing all I have in my HA version 0.114 that works great without the NEW integration.
That way I loose a lot of the functionality of my HA and I don’t want to loose that!
I need to be sure how to move forward with loosing the Broadlink App and also be able to STILL have the rm pro and mini 3 (and maybe rm4) to work in my HA in version 0.115.
I have been working and configuring the system for a very long time and I have Broadlink in so many Automations that if I will upgrade and NOT integrating the remotes I will loose them all. And if I will do the integration I will need to loose the Broadlink App - and I do NOT want to loose that for sure.
Please assist me and hear me out - so I will be able to move forward with my HA to version 0.115 as well and enjoy both worlds.
Hope that you will help me understand how to move and make the next step and being able to have Broadlink in HA and also the Broadlink App.
Thank you
Arye
