Broadlink remote.send_command Failed: You need to specify a device

The problem

Using the new replacement service and integration for a Broadlink RM Pro. I can see the device has been configured correctly however, when porting across my old automation flow into the new format, the automation fails with the following error:

Failed to send 'JgBQAAABJ5USExIVERQRFBIUERQPFRMTEzYTNxI4EjkQORM3EjgROw4UExQRFg8TFBMRFg8UEhMSNxM3EjgSOBI4EjgSOBE4EgAFHgABKEsSAA0FAAAAAAAAAAA=': 'You need to specify a device'

I followed the Broadlink guidance in the Breaking Changes details summary here: Release 115

As far as I can see, the device argument should be optional, not mandatory
