homebridge-broadlink-rm Learn RF not working

I have multiple Broadlink RM devices and the UDP doesn't seem to be working on my network so I have to use the learn-code function. I'm trying to grab the RF codes off of my Broadcom RM3 Pro Plus. Below is my config code.

                {
                    "accessory": "Broadlink RM Learner",
                    "name": "Learn RF",
                    "type": "learn-code",
                    "scanFrequency": true,
                    "host": "192.168.7.188"
                },

It comes back with showing that it found a frequency but it never prints out the results.

 [Broadlink RM] [ACTION] Hold down the button that sends the RF frequency.
 [Broadlink RM] [INFO] Scan RF (found frequency - 1 of 2)
 [Broadlink RM] [INFO] Scan RF (stopped - 20s timeout)
 [Broadlink RM] [INFO] Scan RF (stopped)

I've heard that you need to switch on the learn IR but when I have this custom learn-button it doesn't seem to provide the default buttons. Is there a way to work around this?

While this is not ideal, I was able follow these steps to learn RF codes:

Ensure both the Scan Frequency and Learn buttons are configured to be shown in the Homebridge config file
Tap Scan Frequency in the Home app
Hold the button on my RF remote until "Scan RF (found frequency - 1 of 2)" appears in the Homebridge log
Tap Learn in the Home app
Tap and hold the button on my RF remote until "Scan RF (complete)" is shown followed by "Hex Code: ..." on the next line of the Homebridge log

I see the same issue, and the above workaround stopped working after updating the firmware to v56.

@ascl00 v56 of what?

Jan 03 '20 03:01 lprhodes

Sorry, the RM Pro (device code 0x9d27) firmware.

Jan 03 '20 05:01 ascl00

The issue here is definitely when you have multiple RM devices. In my case, I even have multiple RM+ devices. It would be really helpful if we could manually define the learn and scan RF codes and in each specify the IP address of the device, like in the example above. The custom button with the scan frequency works just fine in finding the code but the lack then of the learn button makes it impossible to retrieve the code.

Also no combination of Home.app and the e-control app seems to work anymore.

I'm still waiting on a new RM device to re-develop the RF learning fully but in the meantime I'll add some code that allows you to specify the IP of the RF Learn device (and more importantly, have it use it)

Jan 07 '20 02:01 lprhodes

@mbriney This definitely works in order to choose a specific IP address for the learn device:

Add "hideLearnButton": true and "hideScanFrequencyButton": true to your config Add accessories with the following types: learn-ir and learn-code and a host key with the ip-address

I've just pushed out release 3.6.17 which logs the device of the IP address Learn Code is associated with.

I think I've fixed the issue with only step 1 occurring too but I can't test, can you give it a shot please?

Jan 07 '20 11:01 lprhodes

@lprhodes ok I've got 3.6.17 installed. I can get it to target the learning on the right IP device now, it finds code 1 of 2 no problem. But then when I click the learn it times out. I suspect there may be an issue with the way I have configured the new button.

Here are my two entries:

{ "accessory": "Scan RF", "name": "Learn RF", "type": "learn-ir", "scanFrequency": true, "host": "192.168.7.29" }, { "accessory": "Learn Code", "name": "Learn Code", "type": "learn-code", "host": "192.168.7.29" }

And above I have hideScanFrequencyButton and hideLearnButton set to true.

Jan 07 '20 22:01 mbriney

I don't think it should really matter but the type should be swapped for those two accessories.

Once you've done that can you try again and send me the logs please?

Jan 07 '20 23:01 lprhodes

Hmmm, here's the new accessory config: { "accessory": "Learn Code", "name": "Learn Code", "type": "learn-code", "scanFrequency": true, "host": "192.168.7.29" }, { "accessory": "Learn IR", "name": "Learn IR", "type": "learn-ir", "host": "192.168.7.29" }

It finds the code but doesn't ever seem to print to the log.

Can you give 3.6.18 a go please and send more logs.

Jan 08 '20 02:01 lprhodes

Running latest RM Pro+ firmware v56 with this plugin v3.6.18. Unfortunately no change for me. IR works fine, but RF still times out as described by so many others. The 2 RF remotes I tested with all scan (and work) fine in IOS apps "Broadlink", "e-Control" and "ihc For EU" but just cannot get it to work in homebridge as I cannot identify the correct HEX code.

Just FYI: only app that allowed me to upgrade firmware was "Broadlink". Seems the most recent with ipad and limited Siri support via Shortcuts. (https://apps.apple.com/app/broadlink/id1450257910)

I have the identical RF scanning issue using Broadlink Manager (https://sourceforge.net/projects/broadlink-manager/) so I do assume it is related to the new firmware.

Running minimal config for this testing:

{ "platform": "BroadlinkRM", "name": "RM pro+", "debug": true, "accessories": [ { "name": "Learn RF", "type": "learn-code", "scanFrequency": true }, { "name": "Learn IR", "type": "learn-ir" } ] }

Hope this helps. If I can assist any further, please let me know. I would love to get this working :-)

Seeing something similar with the RF and the 3.6.17 version. It scans and it says it finds it but then doesn't log the code.

@lprhodes this would be a whole lot easier if you had one of these devices. Do you have one on order? If not, maybe I can get one to you?

Thanks @ascl00 I do have one coming on Wednesday :)

v3.6.22 seems to have improved the RF scanning issue for me in combination with the Broadlink RM3 Pro Plus (279d). It did however introduce a slew of other issues but I already see separate issues logged for them:

install failing due to missing git
start failing due to missing hap-nodejs
"pingIPAddress" giving me constant false positive of 'up'
constant loops "Broadlink RM device is no longer reachable" <-> "has been re-discovered"

The RF codes registered in the logs are huge though (>2400 characters). They work but seem to cause a 5 to 10 sec delay between the sendhex command in homebridge log and actual broadcast by Broadlink device. Not sure if that is related to your device buffer remark...

Anyways, the progress is appreciated. Thank you! I can start experimenting with my automations :-)

I'm also having this issue, I just updated from the old 2018 version, RF Code learning worked perfectly, now on 3.6.22 and it doesn't work, I have only one hub, and its firmware version is 20025 which is old, the Broadlink IOS app works and can learn codes.

v3.6.22 doesn't work v3.6.21 doesn't work v3.6.16 works!

I suggest anyone who is have this issue, wind back one version at a time and test, the the developer can see what he may have changed to cause the issue.

Hope this helps ;)

v3.6.22 in combination of Broadlink RM Pro+ and RM3 Mini doesn't work on Hoobs. The first one on firmware v44. Word around mentioned in this thread is crushing HomeBridge.

@Kung-Foo-Kamel You are totally correct, no matter how I tried, nothing works for versions post 3.6.16. I reinstall my plugin to 3.6.16 and it worked immediately.

May 26 '20 08:05 mwkchan

Yes, I'm still using that version, if it aint broke, don't fix it :)

May 26 '20 10:05 NexGen-3D-Printing

Yes, I'm still using that version, if it aint broke, don't fix it :)

If I install the v3.6.16 plugin from terminal, it will not recognize it from config file. Can you let me know how I can make this work? Also, with v3.6.22 I was able in the end to get the hex code for RF but it doesn't do anything. I can see the broadlink flashing but that is it. Nothing else happens. Here is also my config:

{ "platform": "BroadlinkRM", "name": "Broadlink RM", "hideScanFrequencyButton": false, "hideLearnButton": false, "hideWelcomeMessage": false, "accessories": [ { "name": "AC On/Off", "type": "switch", "data": { "on": "260068…", "off": "260068…" } }, { "name": "Light On/Off", "type": "switch", "data": { "on": "aa009a0000012….", "off": "aa009a0000012…." } } ] }

The first one is an IR and the second is the RF one. Maybe this is my problem....

Same here I get a code form the learning button but when entering that code nothing is working.

Aug 08 '22 20:08 EricS1019

I dont think he maintains this branch much anymore, there is some newer forks of this plugin that I use now.

Maybe give this one a go: https://github.com/newt10/homebridge-broadlink-rm-enhanced

Aug 08 '22 21:08 NexGen-3D-Printing

Yeah that one does not work either. I just need to find out how to Learn my RF codes and then I can input them in the config file the learn command learns the wrong code that does not work. The new broadlink iPhone app learns the code on first try works every time I try it. I wish there was a way I could look inside the broadlink app and see the codes.

Have you tried rolling back a few versions, this is what I did originally, I captured the codes I needed, saved them then installed the newer version.

Like others, most have moved away from these 433 products to Zigbee gear, Ive been slowly pulling mine out as cost wise, Zigbee is just as cheap now.
