What are the words to change channels and volume by voice on a TV? ‘On’ and ‘off’ voice commands are working, but for the rest, (volume, channels, etc) google assistant answer "I can’t find a compatible device’…but all commands work fine If I click on the icons in the card…
BTW the first AC works fine
I just started with Home Assistant about a week ago. I discovered SmartIR and bought a Broadlink RM4C Mini. The Mini works well with the Broadlink app for my TV, aircon and fan and I see the little LED blink on the Mini when I invoke an action from the app.
I’ve tried to set up SmartIR following the instructions. When I click on the Overview in Home Assistant to turn on the fan (named fan.bedroom_fan matching configuration.yaml) or the TV or the Aircon (guessing at codes still), the little LED in the Mini doesn’t blink and I get this message in the log file. I’ve set the IP address and MAC address of the Mini in the configuration.yaml file:
# SmartIR component to drive the Broadlink IR blaster RM4C Mini

Here’s the error message from the log file:
2020-01-26 23:58:33 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] You are using a custom integration for smartir which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you do experience issues with Home Assistant.

I did a search for parts of the ERROR message and the term “smartir.fan” and neither have never been mentioned so I’m in uncharted waters. I appreciate any help. Thanks!

can i use SMARTIR to control a wall switch which uses broadlink to send RF signals? how will i configure it?
Please help: I have SmartIR running with a Broadlink RM mini 3 for my TV and AC in my living room area (more precise 2 rooms in open space). TV and AC are in different zones of the area and RM is not able to control both. So I bought another remote from Xiaomi chuangmi.remote.v2. I tried to use the Broadlink RM 3 mini working raw codes source for Xiaomi chuangmi.remote.v2. I was wrongly assumed that raw base 64 from Broadlink will be also used on Xiaomi, but seems not.
Bellow some tests I’ve done in HA.
Sending working “off” AC command from Broadlink RM mini 3:

@mwbrown42 Unfortunately the RM4 isn’t supported. I raised a Feature Request to get support added - you can vote on it here:

Well bugger! Supported Broadlink models are not documented on the SmartIR page. Is there a list of supported models anywhere? I’ll buy a compliant one and put the RM4 on the shelf until it’s supported. Thanks for the info!

SmartIR uses the Broadlink integration, the supported models are documented there.
I have just today ordered another RM3, I guess I’ll put the RM4 away as well.

OK, I found this at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/broadlink/#remote
Not the greatest way to describe which models are supported. I see that your RM3 isn’t listed, does it work? Is the RM Mini 3 functionally equivalent to the RM3?
Type:
Switch type. Choose one from: rm , rm2 , rm_mini , rm_pro_phicomm , rm2_home_plus , rm2_home_plus_gdt , rm2_pro_plus , rm2_pro_plus2 , rm2_pro_plus_bl , rm_mini_shate , sp1 , sp2 , honeywell_sp2 , sp3 , spmini2 , spminiplus or mp1 . SC1 devices can be registered as `sp2
Yes it’s the mini, sorry for the confusion. I always forget the mini bit… About $19US from Banggood or Aliexpress. Steill plenty for sale even though you can’t by them direct from Broadlink.
This is my config for a RM Mini 3 in HASS:
- platform: broadlink
host: 192.168.0.136
mac: '34:ea:34:e3:ad:52'
type: rm_mini
friendly_name: "Kitchen IR"
And then the SmartIR config:
- platform: smartir
name: Hall AC
device_code: 1281
controller_data: 192.168.0.136
temperature_sensor: sensor.bedroom_temperature
humidity_sensor: sensor.bedroom_humidity
Perfect, thanks! I grabbed a couple from AliExpress, $14 each, should be here in Thailand by Tuesday.
I’ve got 6 rm minis around my house all using smartir
I’ve tried to add more but I think they may have a newer firmware version on them.
HA can’t control them.
The broadlink econtrol app sees them as unknown device
Inc app works.
Anyone know of a way to downgrade?
Hi, I added a binary sensor to tell when my split type AC has been turned on not using HA, its working, as I can see the sensor change, how ever the hvac_modes do not have an on mode, I want to update the mode to the “last_on_operation:” value as that will update it to show what was last used. I can’t figure a way to update this attribute, can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.

Hello, i am working on a infrared project that controls air conditioners, want to know how SmartIR works, and how to decode the climate codes to raw bit data, I know they are encoded with base64 but when decoding they don’t appear to be right, as LG air conditioners have 28 bits and the code data I found for commands decodes to a 8 bytes array of bits, so this data is sent to the broadlink controller this way, how can I work my way to get some raw bit pulses?
Thanks
Hi, I’ve the same error. I follow the configuration steps provided. I’m running on raspberry with hassio 0.105.x. Are you able to get it working?

Hi, I´ve the same issue. I cant use the rm mini in HA. The firmware version is v44057, sdk 2.13.23 beta, data cloud US

if it won´t work, I´ll have to change the firmware. I suppose for tasmota
Any recommendations?

Hi Dan, Can you solve that? thanks
