Give John some time to complete his stuff and he will create a new, nice, clean thread for his developments 
See here: Broadlink binding for RMx, A1, SPx and MP. Any interest?
I like his blog posts by the way http://blog.themillhousegroup.com/2018/12/green-millhouse-ok-google-turn-on.html
I still have issue with my second rm3 (rm3-2). I suspect it is related to the fact that the connection to the device is not “perfect” (see pings below). Is this something that can be handled in the binding (e.g., increase wit time for response etc.)?

In order to deal with such an unreliable connection, every single time we send a packet to the device, we’ll have to be able to retry it if we didn’t receive a reply.
I’ll admit my first instinct was “too hard, don’t do it” … but … my goal for this binding has always for it to be really robust and reliable. Dealing with lossy networks is definitely something that reliable software does. So leave it with me, and let’s see what I can do for BETA-10

Great, thx! i thought of trying to improve the connection but I will keep it that way so you will have a debug site for your next version
One more thing, currently I check for broadlink device online with network binding:
Switch Rm3_1_Online "RM3 [MAP(online.map):%s]" { channel="network:pingdevice:34-ea-34-e0-b2-44:online" }
Can something like LIFX thing status can be added to the binding?
You are a myth John !
Thank you for your time and your interest!
Hi.
I have a strong connection and 2 rm3.
But randomly i lost connection with my black beans.
Maybe the problem is not only a poor connection.

I have a question that might be of use.
Once sorted the rules and groups, i shoudl be able to command 3 fans+3dimmable lights+3led nightlights with your binding.
Whereas if i issue a group command like “switch all the sockets on” that conearns z-wave devices, each with its own timing, but they will switch on, i wander what would happen if i was going to make a group of the rf433 fans and issue the command “turn all the fans on”.
Is there some kind of a buffer of queueing of commands included within the binding (as the RM3 suerly can’t send 3 rf433 signals at once) or would it be better to chain such a command in a rule with a staggered start?
thank you for your hard work, really appreciated.
I’ve got the same issue with the errors in the log file.
The SP3 works ok manually and with rules, also status of the device seems ok, but these communication errors stay in the logs…

Hmmm it looks like it’s flip-flopping every polling interval. @Jorg, could I get you to set the log level to TRACE for the Broadlink binding so (hopefully) I can see why it’s doing that? In the OpenHAB console:
log:set TRACE org.openhab.binding.broadlink
Thanks!
While I’m here; BETA-10 is now available:
https://dl.bintray.com/themillhousegroup/generic/org.openhab.binding.broadlink-2.4.0-BETA-10.jar
This version fixes a few small issues:
- RM3 devices can now have a polling frequency specified (this was an omission from the
thing-types.xmlconfiguration file) - Thing logging extracted to its own class and improved: Device status ONLINE/OFFLINE/undetermined shown in logs as
^/v/?respectively - Each ThingHandler’s network socket is now explicitly closed when we lose contact with the device. This seems to help subsequent reconnections.

Hello guys,
created little tutorial based on my experience setting up RM3 mini. hope it can help someone

I thought the pollingInterval was already there (or at least I use it and it seems working)
Thx for your hard work!!! will download, check and update
Just wanna share that it works with a Broadlink SC1 (https://m.banggood.com/Broadlink-SC1-DIY-Smart-Switch-WiFi-APP-Control-Box-Timing-Switch-Wireless-Remote-Controller-p-1143214.html)
Using beta10, device is found as SP2 - probably the same hardware.
Everything works properly after putting the authentication and IV key.
Hi people,
3 hours without disconnections…it seems this beta is working very well 
I keep watching the logs…
One black bean go down…but after that…go up again and works…
thats great

Working great with 3 Sp3’s! Good work… really appreciate it!
Why is the min polling interval so high? 30 secs seems like a lot of time… can’t it be like 5s? Is a little bit annoying when I manually turn on or off the SP3 (the sp3 have a on/off physical button) that it takes so long to show on OpenHAB.
Another thing… but it has to do with the apple HomeKit integration with OpenHAB: is there a way to show in apple home app when a device is offline to actually show offline? another one: is there a way to show it in the apple home app with the outlet icon instead of the switch icon?
Thanks!!
Glad it’s working well for you!
Agreed - the polling frequency is too slow for devices with physical switches - so in the next beta the SPx (single plug) and MPx (power strip) models will have a new lower limit of 1 second.
I probably wouldn’t recommend polling that frequently, but thought if I’m going to reduce the minimum, I may as well go all the way. Your suggestion of 5s seems like a fair compromise for these devices.
I’m still learning my way with the HomeKit/Google Home integration, but I don’t think there is yet a way to represent something being offline. Although I think somebody suggested earlier that it seems like it would be useful if each Thing had a channel that represented exactly that. Then, at some point in the future when HomeKit/Google get the ability, that channel could be exposed to it. It does seem a little redundant though. It would be better if the OpenHAB cloud connector could pass the online/offline status of every exposed Thing to the various automation partners…
