Is this designed to work with the Broadlink e-control app or the Broadlink IHC (Intelligent Home Center) app? The e-control app no longer allows me to log in, so I'm hoping this is designed for IHC. Regardless, when I setup a custom remote and learn the buttons, I'm able to use my RMmini3 withe the IHC app and successfully control my TV. When I sync up to my android and locate the SharedData folder, it is basically empty. It has several folders and 2 .jpg files, but I would expect there to be some more information in there pertaining to the learned IR codes. Perhaps the documentation needs to be updated or clarified?
I have been trying to get this to work for quite some time now, and I am struggling. I am new to NodeRed so I am still learning. Can someone please help me understand how to use this? I am using the RM mini 3. I have successfully used the learn command and the discover node. Getting the buttons from the app on my phone didn't work, so I am trying to do it programmatically. I can get the array from the learn node, but I don't know how to use it. I have the device configured right in the RM node (Mac address, and IP are correct).
What I have been doing:
I have an inject node going into a function node which goes into the RM node. The function node contains the following code:
msg.action = 'send'; msg.data = [38,0,236,0,152,148,17,17,15,18,15,18,15,18,15,51,12,54,21,13,14,19,14,51,15,51,16,50,16,50,16,18,15,18,14,19,15,15,18,149,16,17,15,19,14,19,15,18,14,19,15,18,15,18,15,50,16,50,16,50,16,48,18,18,15,50,16,50,17,49,16,18,15,18,15,18,16,17,20,45,16,0,7,32,148,149,15,19,15,14,19,16,17,18,15,50,14,52,17,17,15,18,15,50,16,50,17,49,17,49,16,18,15,18,22,11,15,17,17,148,17,17,16,17,15,18,15,18,15,18,16,17,20,13,15,51,15,50,15,50,18,49,16,18,15,51,15,51,16,50,15,18,16,17,23,8,25,9,16,51,16,0,7,32,148,149,21,12,49,15,18,18,16,49,16,50,16,17,16,18,15,50,17,49,16,51,16,49,17,17,21,11,16,15,18,18,17,147,17,16,17,17,15,18,15,18,21,12,22,10,17,15,17,50,16,50,16,51,16,50,16,17,15,51,15,51,16,50,15,19,17,16,22,9,50,50,17,0,13,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]; return msg;
I have also tried sending the array as msg.payload, but both ways I haven't had any success. Can someone please help me understand how to use these node? I tried following the examples, but this is all very new to me and it was confusing; I didn't understand how to implement it.
I need to manually add an IR code into one of my nodes (force power off on a Samsung TV). I've found a place online that provides this code in hex format but am not sure how to translate into the format used by the RM Mini. Are you able to assist? The specific code I'm looking to adapt is...
discreet off 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01
I'm assuming it's not as simple as 0,0,0,1
Hello!
I have an RM3 Mini (firmware: v44057) connected to my local network. When I use the Discover node I get this:
{
"mac": "24dfa77a4ff9",
"ip": "192.168.0.101",
"typeid": "5f36",
"type": "RM Mini 3 newer",
}I imported the "learn and send data" example and configured the device parameter with the MAC and IP address received. When I run the learn flow it send the message: Broadlink Timeout Received - Closing Device Connection after a few seconds. Doesn't matter if I send the IR stream with a remote or not, the output remains the same.
Can be a firmware problem?
The device works with the IHC app, read the same remote control button that I'm trying to learn in the node so I discard a decode or hardware problem. Maybe the API used to communicate to the device is dead?
Thanks!
When leaving the catalog field empty in the RMdevice node the whole config is marked red. Seems the field is required.
The RM node also functions without a catalog so maybe this field should not be set to required.
"Remote" Broadlink RM Pro (RM2 - "old" black version)
platform OpenHabian Pine64 with NodeRed plugin
Almost everything works (IR blaster, RF remote for STBox)
But i cant get working original Broadlink TC2 light switches..
When set "Inject" >> "RM node" >> "Debug"
I get in debug window
{"remote":"10","button":"55","status":"OK","code":[-23,0,70,0,-33,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,22,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,22,9,9,22,22,9,9,22,22,9,22,9,22,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,9,22,9,22,9,22,22,9,22,9,22,9,22,9,22,9,9,22,9,22,9,22,22,9,9,0,1,72],"_code":[-23,0,70,0,-33,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,22,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,22,9,9,22,22,9,9,22,22,9,22,9,22,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,9,22,9,22,22,9,9,22,9,22,9,22,22,9,22,9,22,9,22,9,22,9,9,22,9,22,9,22,22,9,9,0,1,72],"f":1}
this is basicaly the same as any other working output. Only with this difference this dont send signal to RM2 - didn't light the LED signal like the official (android) app do..
Learning dont work either..
Sorry I messed up, found some mistakes on my code that was making me lost.
Hi, I recently started using the Broadlink RM4 Pro, and was able to discover it via the discover node, however it had an error message in the payload.
I added the device to the RM node from the learning example
However when i ran the payload and kept pressing my remote button aiming at the RM4 Pro nothing was outputted to the payload.
May I know what I am doing wrong? or is the RM4 Pro not compatible with the node?
*Note the RM4 Pro is already configured via the Broadlink Application
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
When learning, the orange light is on. Long press the remote control and then single-click, but the orange light just flashes for a while, or the orange light remains on all the time,. and the "Broadlink Timeout Received-Closing Device Connection" is displayed repeatedly in the debug field.

There is no info on how to configure catalog path. The only suggestion is windows path which is not helpful.
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-broadlink-control gives me this:
'Fill in the MAC address of the device, IP address and the full path to the SharedData folder in the Catalog field and click Add'
Does this mean 'SharedData' name is expected somewhere down the path?

Will be possible to Learn output to HEX or Base64?
Hello,
i successfully discovered my device with the discovery node and put the data into the configuration of the RM node. Then i chose "Learn" as Action, but there is no reaction after an injection. The only thing that appears after some time in the node-red console log is "[RM:RM Mini 3 newer] Broadlink: Closing Device Connection". I also tried to send some dummy remote command data to see if the RM3 shows a reaction like a blinking light, but nothing.
Is there any way to get it to work?
Edit: Device type is: 5f36
Starting node-RED gives the following issue:
7 Mar 10:32:21 - TypeError: Cannot read property 'code' of undefined

nodered.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Note - This version introduces a new field in the device configuration which will require a manual change to each device configuration.
what does this mean?

https://github.com/ralphm2004/broadlink-thermostat
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/floor-heat-thermostat/29908/13
Is it possible, to add this support to your plugin?
I tried to use the discover node and the debug messaged showed up with:
typeid: "61a2"
type: "Broadlink: Unconfigured Device Type: Log an issue with the device details and typeid returned as this may be a new device type"
Learn/Send command doesn't do anything when i tried to use it.
hi, i am a bit of a newby on nodered and on programming in general so i would like to ask for a bit of help since i got a broadlink rm4 pro ( this model https://www.ibroadlink.com/products/ir+rf) and it is not working with the econtrol app ( i managed to connect it to the app but is shown as some chinese characters and it says not recognized ) so i tried using the discover node but couldnt get it to discover the device even inserting by hand the MAC and the ip address of the rm4pro. i have 2 fields that remain empty namely the type and shared folder. What should i put in those field? and how would i then start gathering the inputs from the ir/rf dvices?
ps: i cant put any images right now since i am at work, will do as soon as i get home if needed
Many people already have automations with scripts in the Home Assistant with code compiled in base64. Is it possible to insert this function in the nodes of this addon?
Tks
Every message sent through given broadlink node creates new UDP listener and this listener stays forever.
In result after 64k (max) messages the host system is overloaded with opened UDP ports, NR throws error and restarts itself.
To check the growing number of opened ports use this shell command: "netstat -na |grep udp"
Simple solution: As example here is a modified part of SP2Node.js:
...
this.on('input', function (msg) {
var conf = RED.nodes.getNode(config.device);
var _device;
if (conf != null && conf != undefined && conf != "") {
var _device = new SP2({ address: conf.host, port: 80 }, conf.mac);
}
else {
var _device = new SP2({ address: msg.payload.host.trim(), port: 80 }, new Buffer(msg.payload.mac.replace(':', '').replace('-', '').match(/[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}/g).map(function (num) { return parseInt(num, 16); })));
}
// ----------- modification start
// IVO:
setTimeout( function() {
if (typeof (msg.payload) != "object") { msg.payload = {}; }
_device.cs.close();
_device = null;
}, 3000); // 3 seconds waiting for respond !
// ----------- modification end
_device.auth();
Best regards,
Ivo
The learn returns data. But I can't even know if they're right because it says "data sent" but the air conditioner doesn't respond.
I can'r find what doing this parameter. If I change from 1 to any other the send RF command not work. But what exactly happen I don't now. Please help me, thank.
first of all many thaks for these Nodes...
I have a RM Pro and a S1C alarm system. it works great and very well.
my question:
I have a lot of wifi SC1 relays, unfortunately there are no nodes. Is this planned?
This device can i found over the discover node:
how can i integrate that?
It is working only with app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.com.broadlink.econtrol.international
It is new device
Unable to learn RF codes in Node-Red, using a recently bought RMPro+. I get "Please keep long press on the remote button until scan finishes." followed after some seconds by "Please tap the remote button." but even when I tap or hold the button nothing more happens, no message with the received codes or any other indication what is wrong. I can learn the codes for my two remotes ok with the Broadlink IHC app and successfully use the app to operate my blinds, so it appears to be a problem with the NR Learn routine.
My RF data is a remote control for learning motorized curtain RF from RM2PRO.
Sending using RM4PRO(6026) is normal, but the original RF remote control cannot be used.
RM4pro continues to send the RF signal after the LED is turned off(5~15 seconds later), causing the interference to the all 433 RF remote control to be unusable.
The RM4 power supply is removed, and the remote control can be used normally.
Does RM4 not really end after sending?
I have installed RaspAP,
The result of the test is that RaspAP is installed.
After testing, it is determined that it is the problem of RASPAP
Sorry, please close this topic, thank you.
Some devices are being locked to the Broadlink cloud service and when this happens local communication via the node will fail. Need to include detection of this in the discover node.
Hi there,
I had posted the text below in issue #25 but as it is closed I'm not sure if it gets seen. So I'm opening a new issue with the same title.
Thanks,

======================
Hello all,
I was very happy to have found these nodes, so thanks a lot to the developer and to everyone else helping with the development.
I have three RM Mini 3 units, the older one is firmware v57 and the two newer are firmware v44057. They all get discovered as type 2737:
0: object
mac: "c8f742174b74"
ip: "192.168.200.131"
typeid: "2737"
type: "RM Mini"
1: object
mac: "24dfa736c1cc"
ip: "192.168.200.133"
typeid: "2737"
type: "RM Mini"
2: object
mac: "24dfa73658b8"
ip: "192.168.200.132"
typeid: "2737"
type: "RM Mini"
When I run the Learn and Send learned code flows from the examples I also get the Broadlink Timeout Received - Closing Device Connection message after a few seconds. Do we need to add new headers for this type too?
Thanks,
Tales

Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to setup Broadlink as an IR receiver. What I would like to do is to use my universal traditional IR remote, and use it to control light. I can already control light through node-red. More or less like this:
REGULAR IR REMOTE -> BROADLINK -> NODE RED -> LIGHT
Technically Broadlink has IR reciever because it can learn from other remotes, but can it be used permanently through node-red?
Energy is not reading correctly in watts. 45w shows around 68 when pulled through NodeRed.
The RM Pro + ,RM mini series is about to be discontinued, and the successor is the RM4 series
RM4 has a power cord, which contains a temperature and humidity sensor(is optional).

Hello,
This is super control. Everything works fine, but I have a little a problem.
I would like to switch off my Samsung TV, controlled by node-red.
Unfortunately the Ir remote control of TV consist of one power button, so the node-red doesn't know that it switches off or on the tv.
There are several Ir code pages on the internet (for example samsung tv codes ), but I don't know how I can convert these hex codes to JsonIrCode file.
Could you help me?
Thank you: John.
Hello.
I am very interested in your work 'node-red-contrib-broadlink-control' but I can't get them to work properly.
My Node-Red is in a Docker container with Home Assistant.
I use the 'RM' node for my RM3-Mini type 272a but I cannot fill in the 'Catalog' field of 'Edit rmdevice node'.
So the learned codes do not register ...
My problem comes from the connection between Home assistant and Node-Red.
With other nodes, I use 'node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket' to communicate with Home Assistant.
Can I imagine that this is possible in this case?
Thank you
Hi @mlfunston
Could you help me?
I was trying to access this your repository of this SmartApps, to get the set of node-red nodes to manage the Broadlink.
Thank you !!
Hi,
Previous request Was in issue #30 (comment). Currently situation looks much better
After pressing inject node RM4 Pro LED even lights up in red, but I still not receive any code in debug node after pressing button on IR blaster.
Very well, new issue then.
I have an RM Mini 3 (firmware: v44057) connected to my local network. When I use the Discover node I get this:
{
"mac": "24dfa77a4ff9",
"ip": "192.168.0.101",
"typeid": "5f36",
"type": "RM Mini 3 newer",
}
I am running version 2.0 but started receiving 'Broadlink Timeout Received' errors after initially being able to learn and send. Restarting the RM mini 3 does not help.
From the Broadlink app once I add my Samsung AC unit I can see the room temperature and other similar information. Would it be possible to add a node to read this kind of information?

Hello,
Broadlink MP1 (4 Outlet Power Strip) device seems to be working. Just saying as README declare it was not tested.
Get & Get actions are both working.
Small issue: One Set might be missed when changing 2+ sockets state 'at the same time' (like in screenshot below).
However, there are no issues when setting 2+ sockets state using one single Set block.
I could not make Set from msg.payload to work.
I tried to inject those 2 json payloads with no success.
{"state":{"s1":true}}{"s1":true}Functionality to import IR codes from other online tools or systems. Import to a local file or DB such as in issue #9.
I'm using the Broadlink nodes to turn off and on my ACs, and I found some code here and there to get me what I need:
//Insert learning code here
var data = [1,2,3,...];
msg.payload={
//"mac":"MAC address of your broadlink rm",
//"host":"IP address of your broadlink rm",
"action":"send",
"data":data,
"repeat":2
};return msg;
My question is, what's the significance of the 'repeat' value? What affect does it have?
