broadlink_app

AppDaemon App For use with Broadlink. With this app, all Broadlink devices on the same network can be controlled created together with @Odianosen25 (https://github.com/Odianosen25)

installation

• This app requires appdaemon 4.0 pre installed
• this app requires that the broadlink package ( https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink ) is installed
• Copy this python file to your apps directory
• Configure a yaml file (apps.yaml or any other yaml file in the apps directory) as shown below

apps.yaml parameters:

toplevel:

• local_ip (optional, default None): The local IP of the system running AD. Only important in a docker container
• broadlinks: (not optional): A dictionay definition of the name and mac address of each broadlink device
• base64 (optional): A dictionay definition of names and ir codes to be used, encoded as base64
• lirc (optional): A dictionay definition of names and ir codes to be used, encoded as lirc
• pronto (optional): A diction aydefinition of names and ir codes to be used, encoded as pronto
• hex (optional): A dictionay definition of names and ir codes to be used, encoded as hex

inside broadlinks:

• specify a name for every broadlink

inside the specified name:

• mac: (not optional) the mac address from the broadlink device
• learn_time: (optional, default 5) the time that AD waits for a packet to return
• friendly_name (optional, default broadlink name)
• entity_domain (optional, default sensor): The domain to be used when defining the entities to be created
• service_domain (optional, default broadlink): The domain from the services
• namespace (optional, default default): The namespace in which the entities and services are created
• use_sensor_for_temperature: (optional): A dictionay definition of the name and update frequency for a temperature sensor
• use_temp_as_attribute: (optional, False or empty) set the temperature as attribute from the broadlink device

inside use_sensor_for_temperature:

• update_frequence (optional, default 60): the frequency with which the temperature sensor will be updated
• name: (optional, default sensor.broadlink_name_temperature) the name for the temperature sensor
• friendly_name (optional, default broadlink_name_temperature) friendly name for the temperature sensor
• Unit_of_measurement (optional, default C) unit of measurement for the temperature sensor

inside use_temp_as_attribute:

• update_frequence (optional, default 60): the frequency with which the temperature attribute will be updated
