SmartIR - Control your Climate, TV and Fan devices via IR/RF controllers

biGdada · September 9, 2020, 6:53pm

hi ppl.
is it possible to add multiple commands while using MQTT? i couldnt figure out the right syntax

MikeTannenbaum · September 12, 2020, 7:09pm

Hi all, I’m struggling to get this working properly so wanted to turn here for help.
I made my own codes file since my Haier appliance wasn’t responding to what was listed.
I’ll link that file below my configuration.yaml file.

Right now I’m able to successfully call services remote.learn_command and also remote.send_command` for my Broadlink Mini 3 device, and have the device control my Haier ductless unit.

When I try to implement SmartIR climate controls I get the error Unable to find service broadlink/send.

Here’s my configuration.yaml

remote:
  - platform: broadlink
    host: 192.168.122.27
    mac: xxxxxxxx
    name: marley_ac_control
    type: rm_mini3_newblackbean

climate:
  - platform: smartir
    name: Marleys Room
    unique_id: marley_ac
    device_code: 1321
    controller_data: 192.168.122.27
    temperature_sensor: sensor.nursery_temperature

and here’s my 1321.json file

would love help if anyone knows what’s going on here.
Thanks!

Hi ,

I’m receiving notification that there is new version available , but I can’t update due to home assistant version:

I’m running the latest version:

Any idea?

Thanks,

Please config SmartIR not getting updates from the RC branch. There is a new Home Assistant beta rolling from Monday.

yoni3210 · September 14, 2020, 7:50am

Can you explain how to do it?

Vassilis · September 14, 2020, 8:06am

Remove this line in your configuration.yaml:
update_branch: rc

Joca · September 14, 2020, 9:13am

Is too late for me!
I updated the HA and Smartir.
Now the climate with Broadlink is not working!

cshaw · September 15, 2020, 1:36am

Same here – Looking forward to seeing this fixed!

mmtraxx · September 15, 2020, 10:39am

To solve, you have to change in the configuration.yaml file:

from “controller_data: 192.168.0.10” change to controller_data: remote.broadlink_hub_remote (I have from the name you find in -> Development Tools -> Status -> remote.name.of.broadlink)

cshaw · September 15, 2020, 11:11pm

Holy crap, thank you!!! Totally worked! I’ve been pounding on this for hours over the last week or so!

Joca · September 16, 2020, 8:12am

Thanks mmtraxx!
It is working now.

Hi all,

Im using SmartIR for a month now.
I cannot understand how to expose the climate entity from HA to Alexa (locally, without cloud skills etc.) just like hue integrations .

Can anyone point me to the right direction so I can pull this off?

Thank you!

So Broadlink is the subject of a “breaking change” in the HA 0.115.0 update.

Before I go and update - has anyone done the upgrade and does the SmartIR platform still work afterwards?

JAS-MRS · September 18, 2020, 1:03am

All of my SmartIR devices are working with the update after:

removing the Broadlink friendly_name: and type: settings from switch.yaml
changing the Broadlink controller_data: settings in climate.yaml as per @mmtraxx post above

jlt220 · September 18, 2020, 1:55am

I have two Broadlink RM4 Mini with the Temp/Humid Sensor, with the update only 1 is showing up. Do i need to configure the second manually?

AgMa · September 18, 2020, 5:11am

Looks like there are issues with the blackbeans. I have two of them and they don’t show as remote entity. Log shows: Error fetching device data: The device storage is full.

Jokerigno · September 18, 2020, 1:36pm

Hi, I updated to 0.115 and to 0.113 and 1.13.1 but there were so many error that I had to restore previous snapshot.

Now I want to downgrade smartir as well using HACS but the button “install” is greyed out.

Can someone please support me?

Vassilis · September 18, 2020, 1:49pm

Did you setup broadlink from integrations (config flow) and also replace controller_data with the new remote. xxx entity?

github.com

smartHomeHub/SmartIR/blob/f1953904219468d2b61f92665183cf5fc5776ea9/docs/CLIMATE.md#example-using-broadlink-controller

<p align="center">
  <a href="#"><img src="assets/smartir_climate.png" width="350" alt="SmartIR Climate"></a>
</p>

For this platform to work, we need a .json file containing all the necessary IR commands.
Find your device's brand code [here](CLIMATE.md#available-codes-for-climate-devices) and add the number in the `device_code` field. If your device is not working, you will need to learn your own codes and place the Json file in `smartir/codes/climate` subfolders. [Keite Trần](https://github.com/keitetran/BroadlinkIRTools) developed [an amazing web-based app](https://keitetran.github.io/BroadlinkIRTools/) for this job.
_Please note that the device_code field only accepts positive numbers. The .json extension is not required._

## Configuration variables:
**name** (Optional): The name of the device<br />
**unique_id** (Optional): An ID that uniquely identifies this device. If two devices have the same unique ID, Home Assistant will raise an exception.<br />
**device_code** (Required): .... (Accepts only positive numbers)<br />
**controller_data** (Required): The data required for the controller to function. Enter the IP address of the Broadlink device **(must be an already configured device)**, or the entity id of the Xiaomi IR controller, or the MQTT topic on which to send commands.<br />
**temperature_sensor** (Optional): *entity_id* for a temperature sensor<br />
**humidity_sensor** (Optional): *entity_id* for a humidity sensor<br />
**power_sensor** (Optional): *entity_id* for a sensor that monitors whether your device is actually On or Off. This may be a power monitor sensor. (Accepts only on/off states)<br />

## Example (using broadlink controller):
Add a Broadlink RM device named "Bedroom" via config flow (read the [docs](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/broadlink/)).

Hi, I did it like this:
Updated to version 0.115 HA,
updated the integration to the new Broadlink HUB, my product (RM2 Pro Plus3 (device_type = 0x279d) and RM2 Pro Plus_300 (device_type = 0x27a9)).
(I already had a working configuration via configuration.yaml)
SmartIR updated to version 0.13.1
I left my previous configuration active, and replaced the following:

#example of my configuration.yaml

smartir:
#update_branch: rc
#I just changed the following “controller_data:” from ip device to
climate:

platform: smartir
name: Living room AC
unique_id: Living room_AC
device_code: 1282
controller_data: remote.broadlink_hub_remote <------ this
temperature_sensor: sensor.temperature
humidity_sensor: sensor.humidity
power_sensor: binary_sensor.ac_power
#ed for the rest as switches and other I left as they were before.
switch:
platform: broadlink
host: 192.168.x.xx
mac: ‘xx: xx: xx: xx: xx: 9f’
#type: rm3_pro_plus3
#timeout: 15
switches:
led_ wardrobe:
friendly_name: “Led Wardrobe”
command_on: ‘skQ0AA8oDygpDg8oKQ8pDw8oKQ8PKA8oDygpDykODygPKA8pDykPKA8oDygPKA8oDygpDw8AAZAAAAAA’
command_off: ‘skQ0AA8oDygpDg8oKQ8pDw8oKQ8PKA8oDygpDykODygPKA8pDykPKA8oDygPKA8oDygpDw8AAZAAAAAA’

platform: broadlink
host: 192.168.x.xx
mac: ‘xx: xx: xx: xx: xx: 6a’
#type: rm2_pro_plus_300
#timeout: 15
switches:
samsung_tv_living_room:
friendly_name: “Samsung TV UHD 4K 75 Living Room”
command_on: ‘JgBGAJSTFDYUNhQ3ExMSExITExITEhM0FjcTNxMTExITEhMSExITExI3EzcUEhMSEzYUNxM3EzcUEhMSEzYUNxMSExMTEhMADQUAAA ==’
command_off: ‘JgBGAJSTFDYUNhQ3ExMSExITExITEhM0FjcTNxMTExITEhMSExITExI3EzcUEhMSEzYUNxM3EzcUEhMSEzYUNxMSExMTEhMADQUAAA ==’
#--------------------------
In this way everything is working and I have no errors in the logs.
