I cant get the broadlink plugin to work about homebridge-broadlink-rm HOT 19 OPEN

Hi! Your config json is a bit confusing. The accessories key must be not under host configuration. Let me show you:

            "platform": "BroadlinkRM",
            "name": "BroadlinkRM4Pro",
            "hideScanFrequencyButton": true,
            "hideLearnButton": true,
            "hideWelcomeMessage": true,
            "hosts": [
                {
                    "address": "192.168.0.121",
                    "mac": "ec:0b:ae:84:fd:90",
                    "isRFSupported": true,
                    "isRM4": true
               }
            ],
            "accessories": [
                {
                    "name": "RF Scan",
                    "type": "learn-code",
                    "scanFrequency": false,
                    "host": "e8:16:56:1c:6d:a1"
                } ```

A tip top to use is in your router reserve the rm4 ip address, or remove the hosts section to plug-in auto discover the device. Just add the accessories 

Make sure your device is in v62092 firmware. The last version not work with this plug-in

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

I still dont get the device

What's the version of firmware?
Now I figure out you are trying to get this working on hoobs, did you mean homebridge right?

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Hello. I am facing a similar issue. I am also using Hoobs. I have correctly configured the plugin with the host using the RM4 pro ip and Mac address. However when attempting to learn or scan I get

2/7/2024, 3:30:11 PMBroadlink Rm Pro BridgeBroadlink RM[INFO] Learn Code (Couldn't learn code, device not found) 2/7/2024, 3:30:14 PMBroadlink Rm Pro BridgeERROR[Broadlink Rm Pro Bridge 5D73@On] The write handler for the characteristic 'On' on the accessory 'Scan Frequency' was slow to respond!

Auto discovery fails for the RM4 Pro. However I also have a mini and the mini works without issue. After using the mini I completely removed the bridge and plug-in and then reinstalled from scratch before attempting the RM4 Pro.

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Here is my config

    "accessories": [],
    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "BroadlinkRM",
            "name": "Broadlink RM",

The firmware on my RM4 Pro is V62093

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Downgraded to V62092 using

Great! Now remove from your config the hosts key. The plug-in will discover automatically the rm4

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Was able to discover the device but RF learning fails.
I attempted to use python-broadlink and was able to control the device and extract the RF packet. But not sure how that translates to HEX to use in the config in this plugin.

The packet I got is

b'r\xc0v\x00\xc0\xc2\x04\x00\x1a\x0c\x18\x0e\x19\x1b\x0c\r\x18\x1a\r\x1a\r\x19\r\x19\r\x1a\n\x1c\x0b\x1b\x0c\r\x19\x1a\r\r\x19\x19\r\x1a\x0c\x19\x0e\x19\x0c\x1a\x0c\r\x19\x1a\r\x00\x01\xc1\r\r\x1a\x0c\x1a\x0c\x18\x1b\x0c\x0e\x18\x1a\r\x1a\x0c\x1a\x0c\r\x1a\x0c\x1a\r\x18\x0e\x18\x0f\x18\x1a\x0c\x0e\x18\x1a\r\x19\x0e\x19\r\x19\x0c\x1b\x0b\x1a\r\x19\x0c\x0e\x19\x19\r\r\x1a\x19\r\x19\x0b\x1b\x0c\x1b\x0c\x19\r\r\x18\x1b\x0c\x00\x05\xdc'

Now remove all host key from accessories like the learn-code you added. Restart homebridge and try again

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

I don't know how to convert too. All my codes I've extracted using the learn-code accessory

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Use
{ "name": "RF Scan", "type": "learn-code", "scanFrequency": false },

scanFrequency: true will extract the hex code from a ref controller instead of ir

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Can you include this in a full example?

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Can you include this in a full example?

Use this as your config for Broadlink plug-in in homebridge

            "platform": "BroadlinkRM",
            "name": "Broadlink",
            "hideScanFrequencyButton": true,
            "hideLearnButton": true,
            "hideWelcomeMessage": true,
            "accessories": [
                { 
"name": "RF Scan", 
"type": "learn-code", 
"scanFrequency": false }
}


Then you restart homebridge. And notice a switch called "RF Scan" in home app

When you turn it on, will turn off automatically 

After turn it on, press your remote pointed to Broadlink rm4 and on homebridge ui log will appear a hex code for the ir 

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

I'm not doing ir. Only rf.

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

In this case all you need is change scanFrequency to true in RF Scan accessory

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Thanks for the explanation. I will try this tomorrow.

Also when I scanned with the app I only had success when I was able to manually set the frequency.

I am not sure if that is possible.

from homebridge-broadlink-rm.

Sorry for the delay. This does not work. The only way I can get this to work is by using the official app and even in the app it only works when I explicitly set the frequency that is listed in the FCC registration.

Oh @brentleeper, that's sad
