Unknown Broadlink Device 648d - RM4 about homebridge-broadlink-rm HOT 14 CLOSED

Hi my RM4 Mini 51da is working with [email protected] but not with [email protected]
For [email protected], the RM4 does not send any commands. No error message is produced.

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

WOW this is great! I was able to change the index.js file. It does appear to have fixed the connection issue. I was able to trigger a learn, and receive an IR code, then output that IR code to turn the TV on. At this point it seems like it is working as planned. Any idea how to pickup the temperature sensor and humidity sensor in the cable that it ships with?

I am unable to see where I have access to 4.2.6 version to download it. HomeBridge web UI only shows 4.2.5 and I can't see it on GitHub unless I'm on the Teams or something.

No problem @ninm002. Could you confirm which model device you're using? I'll add this device code to the supported list... and hopefully it is that easy (it usually is) 🤞

homebridge-broadlink-rm-pro@4.2.5 should support this device now. Let me know if there are any issues.

Thank you very much. You are impressively quick!
I now have
[Broadlink RM] [INFO] Discovered Broadlink RM Mini 4 S (648d) at 10.0.1.55 (a7:xx:xx:xx:xx)
so the device appear to be discovered. I am now running into the same issue utester123123bb is in the other open issue thread. The device will not trigger into a code receive mode when Learn Button is pressed.

Every 30 seconds it tries to communicate and is unable to.

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

I attempted to see if the communication to send a code was working. Since I am new to this I may have made a mistake. But I found my TV Samsung Hex code to turn it on and setup an accessory switch to use. Homebridge triggered the send event, but the device did not appear to send out of the code or flash any lights.

I'm starting to think there's more going on here. I've just ordered myself an RM4 so I can see what's happening. Unfortunately that's going to take a few weeks to get to me.

After that sendHex log, do you see an invalid command 114 line?

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Hi @ninm002 - would you mind being my guinea pig? I've just found a spot in the code I imported which uses different headers for one RM4 device, but not all. Could you try the following to use these headers on all RM4 devices:

1. Locate the file index.js in homebridge-broadlink-rm-pro/node_modules/kiwicam-broadlinkjs-rm/index.js
2. Empty the file, and replace the contents with this: https://github.com/kiwi-cam/broadlinkjs-rm/blob/kiwi-cam-rm4-Testing/index.js
3. Save changes and restart homebridge

If it makes things worse, just re-install and it'll pull the master version over the top. If it works let me know and I'll integrate the changes.

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Here is the Log Output. No invalid commands. If I had to guess it never gets interpreted and the header is not being picked up by the device.

I believe I saw a different header format with some devices within this home assistant code. Sorry if its a waste of time, I don't know enough yet. Just trying to put some pieces together.
home-assistant/core#32523

I'd be happy to try that coding suggestion. I will let you know if I have any trouble and report when I can later this evening.

Thanks @ninm002. The Invalid command is actually a red-herring I believe. I think it's a confirmation message that Broadlink have introduced.

I've made things a little easier to test and pushed a BETA release. Instead of editing the index.js file you can now just install [email protected].

Keep me posted.
