Python Plugin : Broadlink

[zak45]

I have a RM2 Pro and installed the plugin successfully. I want to add a new RF device (an X10rf remote), but no device is created after clicking on save. What's the normal procedure to add a new RF command?

Thank you.

For me the interface looks different.

For me the interface looks different.

what you see is the GUI for device management.
Once you have learned/saved an IR / RF command, this wil create an ini file.
This ini file will be seen there, and by clicking on it, you should see corresponding GUI.

This is what I said, I cannot learn/save a RF command. When I click on Sweep and then press a button on the RF X10 remote, the Learn button is activated. Pressing on it do nothing, same if pressing on Save. What's the right procedure to learn RF devices? For IR devices seems to work.

Near the Broadlink device :

First, you need to click on sweep and let your remote button pressed until Broadlink led light off.
If success, this will put "learn" selector on.

Second, you click on "learn" and press your remote button again.
if success, this will put "test" selector on, you can click on save after, this should create the ini file.

I press on Sweep and click on RF remote button. Learn button is activated and red light on the RP Pro goes off. I press again the RF remote button, but nothing happen. Learn button remain activated.

Do you have followed the process ?? if yes and still problem, please provide content of the log folder and Domoticz log too.

If I click on LEARN after is already activated from the previous step, LEARN goes off. If I press again on it, nothing happen when I press the button on the remote.
No mater what I try, Test button cannot be activated, same for Save.

if nothing happen, Broadlink device do not focus on the right frequency. In this case, restart full process: Sweep ... Learn etc..

[yo3ggx]

Done already several times, unsuccessfully. Mustr be something related to plugin configuration, as over IR it works.
Broadlink focus on the right frequency, as if I press remote when in Sweep mode, Learn button is activated.

try to learn RF in manual mode (cli) and let know if working:

In CLI mode seems to be ok.

Code: Select all

Learning RF Frequency, press and hold the button to learn...
Found RF Frequency - 1 of 2!
You can now let go of the button
Press enter to continue...
To complete learning, single press the button you want to learn
Found RF Frequency - 2 of 2!

That's great.
The plugin do nothing more... and simulate the CLI mode.

Sweep buton:
"Learning RF Frequency, press and hold the button to learn...
Found RF Frequency - 1 of 2!"

When learn button is On, this mean that Found RF Frequency (1 of 2) is OK.

Learn button:
"You can now let go of the button
Press enter to continue..."
To complete learning, single press the button you want to learn
Found RF Frequency - 2 of 2!

when you press the learn button, this is this action that is activated and you need to single press the button you want to learn...
If Found RF frequency (2 of 2) is OK, plugin will put the test button On and store the code (e.g. b200d125dc......) into memory to be saved if you want.

So now, verify that you have setup the same Broadlink device type used during CLI.
Be sure to be near the Broadlink device, probability to have noise / perturbation is great for 433 Mhz.

Just bought me a second-hand Broadlink RM3mini and i'm lookin forward to fiddle with this plugin. Support looks good and the plugin solid.
I'll be back! GJ Zak45!

Be sure to have executed installation with sudo ... and that rigth python version has been set for your system not only for your user ...
Modulenotfounderror has been already discussed many time, check on this topic.

Double check that your python soft. has been setup with the right settings.. see wiki (executed with admin mode, all users & include in path if I remember well)

everything is already working. I installed in the wrong folder. I still have a question.
I bought Broadlink RM4 mini + sensor temp and humidity.I can see the temperature, I cannot see the humidity.
Does the plug support a humidity sensor?
