Broadlink RM mini discovered, but can't create any devices #1155

Open jemhayward opened 4 years ago

jemhayward commented 4 years ago

I've enabled Broadlink support, and on re-start ha bridge found my RM mini 3 and displays it on the Broadlink Devices tab. I pasted in IR codes for volume up and down on my Audiolab MDAC, and clicked Build Item. I'm taken to a device creation page, where I added a name (loud - not Volume!) and clicked Add Bridge Device, and nothing happens... what am I doing wrong?

Well you managed to have the Bridge recognise your Broadlink. What port do you have the Bridge on. Did you set up static addresses for the Bridge and the Broadlink unit.

jemhayward commented 4 years ago

Ha bridge is on port 80 and RM3 is on fixed IP - very impressed that ha bridge found it straight away. Just can't work out how to create a device that controls my music system loudness (not volume or Alexa will get confused).

homeautomate8 commented 4 years ago

I assume you assigned the static ip for Broadlink in your router

homeautomate8 commented 4 years ago

So both your Bridge and your RM are using Port 80

jemhayward commented 4 years ago

Port scan finds RM on its xxx.xxx.xxx.176 IP address but no open ports, 80 is open on ha bridge

Can you control that device with a JSON command in a browser

jemhayward commented 4 years ago

I've not tried it as I don't know the json string required- if I did I'd control it that way from my own software...
