Broadlink Listener




Broadlink IR codes listener and SmartIR json generator.
This project will install a broadlink-listener command line tool that can be used to generate a climate SmartIR
compatible json, starting from an initial structure that defines climate behavior, putting Broadlink IR remote to
listening state, until all IR code combination will being scan.

Features

Discover Broadlink IR remote
Starting from SmartIR json structure like

{
"supportedController": "Broadlink",
"minTemperature": 16,
"maxTemperature": 31,
"precision": 1,
"operationModes": [
"op_a",
"op_b"
],
"fanModes": [
"fan_a",
"fan_b"
],
"swingModes": [
"swing_a",
"swing_b"
]
}

it helps you listen all the defined IR codes to create a json like
{
"supportedController": "Broadlink",
"minTemperature": 16,
"maxTemperature": 31,
"precision": 1,
"operationModes": [
"op_a",
"op_b"
],
"fanModes": [
"fan_a",
"fan_b"
],
"swingModes": [
"swing_a",
"swing_b"
],
"commands": {
"off": "...",
"op_a": {
"fan_a": {
"swing_a": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
},
"swing_b": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
}
},
"fan_b": {
"swing_a": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
},
"swing_b": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
}
}
},
"op_b": {
"fan_a": {
"swing_a": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
},
"swing_b": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
}
},
"fan_b": {
"swing_a": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
},
"swing_b": {
"16": "....",

"31": "...."
}
}
}
}
}


Mandatory fields into starting json

supportedController, minTemperature, maxTemperature, precision


Optional fields (at least one must be present or nothing will be listened):

operationModes, fanModes,swingModes


Generated file can be used into SmartIR HomeAssistant component
It's possible to interrupt with CTRL-C at any moment, a temporary file will be saved
Temporary files are also saved at the end of each temperature range
In case of existing temporary file, the already learnt combination will be skipped

Example
Example of cli command:
$ broadlink-listener generate-smart-ir ./real_data/1124.json <DEVICE_TYPE> <IP> <MAC_ADDR> -n dry -n fan_only -s eco_cool

real_data/1124.json file is this one from SmartIR GitHub repo
in which I've added the missing "swingModes" array, supported by climate but not present on json:
"swingModes": [
"auto",
"high",
"mid_high",
"middle",
"mid_low",
"low",
"swing"
],

<DEVICE_TYPE>, <IP>, <MAC_ADDR> parameter can be obtained running:
$ broadlink-listener discover_ir
