Python Plugin: Broadlink RM2

[jlites00]

Can the plugin learn Broadlink TC2 switches? http://www.ibroadlink.com/tc2/

I tried a couple times to learn with the plugin but there was no success which led to a research. What I found is unlike any other 433mhz device out there where pairing is a breeze, the TC2 has got a proprietary RF code. @NightRang3r, found a way to decrypt the UDP packet data and dump the codes. I'm wondering if there is a way to manually enter the code into the plugin or even better to learn.

hi.
i installed it and it's working good for me and my RM PRO.
i have another device BroadLink SP mini-T1, it is a wifi switch. is there any way controlling it too?
thank you
yaron

Glad to see that work...
for other HW, sorry do not have it so not able to test.
The new version will include import data from e-Control application into Domoticz, so maybe this will open other possibility.

Yes !

Should this run on Windows 10 32bit?
i can't run the setup.exe

Looking forward to the next update.

did you manage?

I also have TC2

[jlites00]

claudioita - Yes, I was able to capture the TC2 codes and control using NightRang's python script. However, I've yet to get it to work with Domoticz. And also Zak mentioned the latest update will support importing data from e-control which in turn support TC2.

I am new to domoticz, but I have Home Assistant, which works well with TC2

[jlites00]

same here new to Domoticz. I read somewhere that there's a way to import TC2 code to HA and it works great but I have never used it before.

yes I used it.

Wondering to do the same with domoticz

Hi,

After you have created the individual buttons, create a Selector Switch from the Dummy Hardware, then you can use the jason interface to define the sub-switches:-





You can find a comprehensive explanation of the Jason Interface in the Domoticz Wiki.

Can you explain a bit more about the json interface please? Ive tried to do what you did by creating a custom selector for my aircon and using json to access the various settings via the dummy but nothing happens. this is the json: http://192.168.1.66:8080/json.htm?type= ... itchcmd=On. i get the attached in the log but the switch doesn't operate:

I don't really understand why it sin't working for you.
Have you checked that the "BroadlinkRM2-24-4.ini" is correctly named, and that the correct IDX is used in your JSON command?

Sorry probably not much help

Hmmmm, the IDX is correct but your mention of the ".ini" got me thinking. I just left it as the default C://blah.blah.blah. but I'm using a Rpi3 so don't have this path. Perhaps I need to create a .ini file elsewhere and change the hardware settings to point to this?!

I think the .ini file is created when you click the "Save" button on the "Command" selector switch. Yes the path is specified in the "Hardware" options.

[zak45]

so.. hummm look like you have a .ini file, name is : C:\\BroadlinkRM2\BroadlinkRM2-24-4.ini... little bit strange for a Pi.
So, now, this is stored somewhere on your device. you can do a find to locate it.

[maninblack30]

Hello all!
First I would like to say that I am really impressed with this plugin, and how quickly Domoticz is developed! It's fantastic!
So thanks everyone involved.

My question is (and it's probably a silly one), but what is the easiest way to make the switches that operate the RM's commands "momentary" as far as their status is? ie. "press on, command is transmitted, status returns to off"?

I know I could do a little script to be triggered everytime one is turned on to turn it off again, but I'm hoping there is a simple "once only" way to apply it to all RM2 commands.

Cheers,

Fraser

Hi,
there is no way to do that in oneshot for all devices.
On the next release, you should be able to put device off by using Domoticz param:

I removed the switches, changed the .ini file location at the Hardware tab to /home/pi/Documents then re-added the switches. All working good now. Thank you.
