I have some general questions about Broadlink device integration and the available options to integrate RF capable Broadlink devices.
I’ve started about 3 years ago with OH 2.x and now I’m running on OH 3.4.4. Since then, I’m using a “none-official” OH binding from the millinghousegroup with two Broadlink RM2 (aka RMPro+) devices with both IR and RF (433MHz) codes without any issues.
In the meantime the official OH Broadlink (thermostat?) binding has been published, but it states that only the Floureon Thermostat and RM Mini 3 devices has been tested (others may be working also, but not yet tested). The OH binding documentation pointed out, that it’s based on the broadlink-java-api. This library does mention RM2Devices in the READ.me file. It looks like that themillinghousegroup binding does NOT use this broadlink-java-api but instead using it’s own implementation?!
Does anyone know if these two bindings are related? Is the current official OH Broadlink binding the successor of the (older and non-official) themillinghousegroup binding? If yes, the chance to get the RM2 (RMPro+) supported (also with RF) by the official binding is high.
Does anyone of you use an RM2 (RMPro+) with the official Broadlink binding - maybe also with RF codes?
I’m concerned, that after migrating to OH 4.x (which I plan to do in the next few weeks) the binding of themillinghouse group may no longer work with OH 4.x because the last version (3.2 BETA 1) is 2 years old and no more updates are available.
This is the device:
