It works for me…
Did it work for you with the old binding? Do you have some error stacktrace?
I just compiled it again with Java 8 instead of Java 9, try this one: Release Broadlink binding for Openhab 2.5 M6 - Java 8 · berni2288/openhab2-addons · GitHub
Unfortunately that’s the first time I touched the code of a Openhab binding, if this does not work for you I don’t know why.
