That worked. Very greatly appreciate your efforts, I was very close to giving up on Domoticz altogether merely because I was not able to control IR devices. Thank you.
great.. happy to keep you with us !

Does e-control work anymore? If not whats a good way to add IR codes without learning? Could not find any information on the exact info for converting pronto and then the syntax for usage with broadlink / domoticz. Any instructions or links would be appreciated!

you have already some links integrated into the WebAdmin page:
- Capture.PNG (131.03 KiB) Viewed 2150 times
from there you can try to find Ir code from database, convert to pronto if necessary and create ini file from pronto.

So I am trying to learn an airconditioner code. viz Panasonic. It doesnt exist in the IRDB (a lot of aricons dont exist) but the code in the broadlink app does a pretty good job of controlling the aircon. But the new Broadlink app is different and the econtrol app does not recognise the newer broadlink devices like RM4 so I'm a bit stuck as to how to import the codes from the perfectly working and easily testable Broadlink app.
Secondly, if I try to learn the codes I am able to get it to show in the domoticz as switches, so even AC Off can only be set as an "On/ off" type switch or as a "Push On Button". If I try to change the switch type to "Push Off Button" it doesnt send the IR code at all. (I am a little unclear with these switch types concept too). All this is a bit awkward from the logic POV.

1: if you have your code in econtrol app, you can try to use the import feature, see this link
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/BroadlinkRM2.html
this is the old version but the export / import from econtrol is similar.
2: this plugin simulate a "remote controller device". On your remote device, to send an IR code to put TV On for example, you "Push" "On" the corresponding button of the "remote device", To put TV Off, you "Push" "On" another button (or the same one in case of "toogle" action).
So, each Domoticz device created by this plugin need to be a "Push On" button linked to a ini file used to store the IR code into it.

Hi Guys,
i've just got my brand new Broadlink RM4 Mini.
The first question is: i've to choose to use it on Domoticz or using native app? There's no way to use both way? Because there are advantage for both, because there something that alexa win and something Domoticz is irreplaceable.
I've started using the guide as described in the first post but i don't undestand what app i have to use: e-control or broadlink app? I'm on iOS device
Thanx in advance
Fabrizio

for the moment, do not use the app if you want to use this plugin.

provide your settings, but I think that you can not use 127.0.0.1 as address.

For a simple On/off switch in Domoticz, better create a dummy device and copy paste corresponding http command:

Does it mean that you do not own the original remote device ?

Not yet officialy, but you can made a test and select sp2 as device.
