Ah! Thanks so much. Easy when you know but I’m finding all this a steep learning curve a the moment.
So many bits of technology to learn and my ‘Unix’ knowledge went rusty sometime around 1998 !
Ok, I’ve figured out how to make edits to the broadlink_remote_*_codes file sort of by accident. I haven’t yet figured out if all of the steps are required, but it does work to the point of adding a new code via call service adds it to the right device segment/node in the codes file.
It’s roughly this order:
- back up your existing
broadlink_remote_*_codesfile (JIC) - disable
deletethe integration for that broadlink device (my codes file was untouched after this process) - make your changes to the codes file
- restart core/supervisor (this is the part that may or may not be necessary?)
- re-enable
re-addthe integration - continue to add other codes & notice your file isn’t overwritten after a change
I had to do this because I had forgot to change device & I was adding codes to the wrong device. I re-org’d my file & tried adding another code & watched my changes disappear in Notepad++. I did the process above & now my file is right & again, I added 2 more codes to another device & the codes ended up in the right spot.
Also, step 4 or 5 might have to be flipped. I’ve slept since I’ve last done this.

Thank you so much. very helpful.
I wanted to edit the codes, but feared that I may loose some configuration values if I delete the integration (I have 2 broadlink devices and wanted to copy codes from one to the other). I followed the steps described by LAYGO, but instead of deleting the integration in step 2, I just disabled it. That worked just fine too !

Good to hear!
I have 2 Broadlink devices too, so deleting the integration did NOT effect either files, but good to know that disabling works.
Is there anyway to just get a list of the commands within HA? I’ve forgot a few commands and just need to refresh my memory.

I confirm. Thats how you edit the file.
