Broadlink binding for RMx, A1, SPx and MP. Any interest?

Have you added the “command” channel?, when you add the rm2 from your inbox, you have to add the 3 channels the thing has, i see the temperature channel, but not the command and “last update”

Can you try changing “type” from “switch” to “string” and see if that helps?
Have you tested in basicUI?, what does your log say?

Daniele_Orrico · August 19, 2017, 5:02pm

I tried to change from string switches but without result.

I attach the final part of LOG:

Daniele_Orrico · August 19, 2017, 7:43pm

Hi, I unfortunately understand little, but I tell you what I know!
Regarding the temperature, you do not need to create strings, just go to Configuration> Things> Broadlink RM2, click on other display and enable the temperature item.
Regarding how to send the commands … I have not even succeeded yet.

Let’s wait for somebody better! : P

X-Ray181 · August 20, 2017, 8:28am

Ok, I maybe wrong, but seems that the codes for ON and OFF (000c4d0001284915000c4b00012a4814000d05) are the same as those in Cato’s example? I think that Cato would like to switch his own TV off and on!
Did you create your own codes on the website? Step 6 off Cato’s description…

nakh_Home · August 20, 2017, 12:59pm

Thanks X-Ray181 A lot

i think that you are right, it could work only from basic UI.

IR works but not RF

i am trying to control a TC 2 broadlink switch

the issue is that in rm Bridge , the code is well learned but too long.

even from the browser, i am getting this
{“code”:2,“msg”:“data error! length = 908, must be less then 900 bytes”}

THe issue is also documented in the openhab logs:

2017-08-20 15:32:54.931 [ERROR] [ome.core.thing.internal.ThingManager] - Exception occurred while calling handler: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: hexBinary needs to be even-length: 2600400000011281142f141014101410142f141014101410141014101410141014101411132f142f14101410142f14101410142f1410142f142f1411132f141014000d050000000000000000

i am blocked.

Below, the command learned from Remote bridge

Any hints???

DSTM · August 20, 2017, 1:07pm

I wasn’t able to successfully capture RF codes via the app & webpage suggested by Cato in his instructions.

They can be captured using the e-control android app, and then extracted from the app with the python script below - and that worked for me (with some assistance from the magnificant Cato)

Hi
Is there way to “teach” broadlink an IR code not using a remote Control?
The problem is that my TV remote doen’t have most of the buttons (new Samsung minimalist remotes). I’d like to use for instance “HDMI2” command without toggling through all sources.

thanks

davorf · August 22, 2017, 12:54pm

Hello!

You could use Android phone with IR blaster in conjunction with ZappIR application, I’ve used it to learn Power On and Power Off commands for my Samsung TV (to use it instead of Power toggle), and it works really well.

Best regards,
Davor

fontoura · August 22, 2017, 1:30pm

That’s a good idea. unfortunately I don’t have and Android with IR. Do you Think those cheap IR adapters for Android phone works? the ones you connect on the 3.5mm audio output.

davorf · August 22, 2017, 1:32pm

Hello!

I haven’t had chance to try it, so, I really don’t know if it works. Maybe other users could help you with that.

Best regards,
Davor

Hi all,

Apologies for disappearing there for a while. Started on a new job and it took all focus and energy there for a while.

Anyways, lets get this train back on track. First thing first, I need to read through all your comments since last time I was online, then rebuilt my develop environment, and then get some fixes in there before releasing the new version.

Thank you all for your patience.

Cato

Cato_Sognen · August 22, 2017, 2:29pm

Hey,
It works with RM3.

Best Regards,
Cato

Cato_Sognen · August 22, 2017, 2:30pm

Hi,
Yes, I have promised this earlier. It will be done.
Best Regards,
Cato

Cato_Sognen · August 22, 2017, 2:33pm

Hi,
I believe it going offline its something in my code that does not work well with rpi. I will look into this.

Best Regards,
Cato
