Would recommend checking out this tool for generating SmartIR code databases using your Broadlink to learn them. Only took me about 10-15 minutes to learn all 220 codes for my AC.

Can you share your config file? Iāve added the second rm mini, but it didnāt send any signal but āoffā on Apple home app
Sometime ago I created a python script to speed up the process of learning Broadlink IR commands for my air conditioner.
Sharing here if of use for anyone:
This python script will take a list of supplied command names from input.txt, and prompt you to press the corresponding button on your remote control. Once complete, it will output the learned packets to a csv file (output.csv) which can then be opened in a text editor of your choice or excel.
Same here. Voice commands not working.
With a Broalink Mini3 Is it possible to have current status of the AC from what the remote receives from the user when pointing it to the AC?
No. The broadlink device will only be waiting to receive a command from an external remote when you tell HA to listen for it (using a service call). In normal āidleā condition HA isnāt listening to anything from the broadlink
With some remote controllers I find that different codes are sometimes received when trying to learn which I put down to the IR signal bouncing off walls etc, and the Broadlink device receiving multiple signals together which muddles things up. Using a close and direct signal ensuring no reflections worked.
Do you think It would be possible to set it up to listen instead of being idle ? Otherwise I think just building this custom IR module is a way better solution -> https://community.home-assistant.io/t/tasmota-mqtt-irhvac-controler

What are the words to change channels and volume by voice on a TV? āOnā and āoffā voice commands are working, but for the rest, (volume, channels, etc) google assistant answer "I canāt find a compatible deviceāā¦but all commands work fine If I click on the icons in the cardā¦
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.
Iāve 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 doesnāt blink and I get this message in the log file. Iāve 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

Hereās the error message from the log file:

I did a search for parts of the ERROR message and the term āsmartir.fanā and neither have never been mentioned so Iām 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 Iāve done in HA.
Sending working āoffā AC command from Broadlink RM mini 3:

@mwbrown42 Unfortunately the RM4 isnāt 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? Iāll buy a compliant one and put the RM4 on the shelf until itās 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 Iāll 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 isnāt 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 itās the mini, sorry for the confusion. I always forget the mini bitā¦ About $19US from Banggood or Aliexpress. Steill plenty for sale even though you canāt 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.
