I remember that I could see a solid green color when the AC was operational on HA lines graph, inside the entity card and also in HomeKit app I could see the icon colored with orange/blue indicating the current operation mode, now it is just green on either modes.
It is not possible after climate 1.0 changes. I donāt want to implement the hvac_action. This attribute is for the actual state of the unit and there is no way to know if a dump AC unit is cooling if it is in cool mode.
Iām trying to convert my setup from Broadlink to SmartIR and Iām looking for a better way to integrate custom devices. Such as my Xbox 360 and a 5-gang extension lead.
The lead has x5 on and off buttons so I can only make each plug a separate device.
After ādevice_code:ā can I put each plug?
eg:
platform: smartir
name: Living room TV
device_code: 8010,8012,8013,8014,8015
Or is there a way to keep some Broadlink functionality for this?
But the only firts is responding right. With the broadlink app all is working fineā¦ Any idea? Any issue with multiple devices?
I will thanks any help.
Can someone tell me how to combine codes?
I used 1040.json for my LG tv and it works fine for basic features (power control, volume, etc) but the source list does not work. I have learned the IR codes using the online tool but I donāt know how to go about adding them into the json file. The TV has an āInputā button which brings up a list of inputs on the screen and then you choose one from there.
As you can see by the sequence to press āChannel 11ā, it is two button presses. So in the āsourceā list are your inputs (DVD, HDMI etc). In your case you would need to record the two buttons to get to the desired input on your tv and add them to the .json file as in the Channel 11 example.
I would also recommend making your own .json file and giving it a custom name so that you can edit it and it wonāt get over-written by the default 1040.json.
Thanks @mattc222
I tried to do that but for some reason itās not working. Have a look at my json file below. Each of HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 has 2 button presses, the first is for the āInputā button on my TV remote and the second is to select HDMI1 / HDMI2 from the Input screen. It just doesnāt work. In some cases the command will bring up the input screen but not choose the actual input so I donāt know if itās having trouble processing the 2 button presses in sequence
Can we rule out the obvious? Try calling the Broadlink send service under dev tools and send (not sure of the .json -GIYF) just the HDMI 1 code, you may not need both as it might be just for your handset. My amp is the same.
Then try more , to delay sending the second command (not sure about this one)
Or how about putting the first or second command in twice? One might get through!
Thanks for the suggestion @mattc222
I tried using the Services tool (Broadlink -> send) in Dev Tools but the results were pretty much the same.
The funny thing is that when I send the packets (just HDMI1 or HDMI2 without the Input button packets) the TV acts like the input has changed but not really. It shows the name of the current input without changing it. Letās say Iām on HDMI1 and I send the code for HDMI2, the tv will receive the packets and display HDMI1 and the resolution on the screen as if Iāve just switched to it (but Iāve been there all along). Sending the packets for the Input button from Dev Tools works just as it does in SmartIR
