Script to scrape IR codes from irdb or parse lirc configs, convert them to Broadlink and output HASS' yaml
Summary
Creates HomeAssistant's .yaml containing Broadlink IR codes for entire remotes found in the irdb (https://github.com/probonopd/irdb/tree/master/codes
) or lirc (https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc-remotes/code/ci/master/tree/remotes/
) databases.
It is currently suggested to try irdb first as converting lirc devices is much slower right now

Usage
Find your remote in irdb under:
https://github.com/probonopd/irdb/tree/master/codes
note the path of the .csv file under the codes/ directory, e.g. Sky/Unknown_DVB-S/0,12.csv
or the lirc config under:
https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc-remotes/code/ci/master/tree/remotes/
note the path of the .lircd.conf file under the remotes/ directory, e.g. apple/A1294.lircd.conf
Then run this script with parameters:
- The path to the .csv/.conf as determined above, or an irdb directory path to process all the remotes in that directory
- Prefix to use for the switch id and friendly name in the HA config
- (optional) search pattern to match the function name against - e.g. POWER. Useful for very large remotes or when pulling a directory full of remotes.
e.g.:
./irdb2broadlinkha.bash 'Sky/Unknown_DVB-S/0,12.csv' Sky_
This will output the YAML ready to be pasted into your HomeAssistant config.
To save it to a file use unix redirection >
:
./irdb2broadlinkha.bash 'Sky/Unknown_DVB-S/0,12.csv' Sky_ >sky.yaml
As this can generate many lines it clutters up configuration.yaml
so it is neater to have each IR device in its own file and include it from configuration.yaml
.
One way to do that is make a directory for the remotes - e.g. broadlink
- then use HA's !include_dir_merge_named
to merge all files contained in that directory into
the broadlink switches configuration.
e.g., configuration.yaml
:
- platform: broadlink
mac: 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'
host: 192.168.1.xx
timeout: 15
friendly_name: "Broadlink"
switches:
!include_dir_merge_named broadlink
then run irdb2broadlinkha.bash
for each remote:
./irdb2broadlinkha.bash 'Sky/Unknown_DVB-S/0,12.csv' Sky_ >~/.homeassistant/broadlink/sky.yaml
./irdb2broadlinkha.bash 'Yamaha/Receiver/120%2C-1.csv' amp_ >~/.homeassistant/broadlink/yamaha_receiver.yaml
Discovery assistance mode
When you don't know which remote you need from irdb this tool can download all the remotes in a directory and process them all. Pass a search pattern (third parameter) of "POWER" to just get the power buttons, then go through them manually until you find the ones that work for your device. e.g.:
./irdb2broadlinkha.bash 'Yamaha/Receiver' amptest_ POWER >~/.homeassistant/broadlink/yamaha_all_test.yaml
