can you give a little description how the dummy and other data must look like?

Now it is not clear to me whether I may have a conflict that originates from the installation of python-broadlink or the causes are in the BlackBeanControl libraries themselves or somewhere else :(

I would ask for a hint or advice on where I stumbled over :)

Thx

Hi!

I see python-broadlink now supports MP1, will your script work with it as well?

Alexa applet to control tv

You can download it here https://github.com/angryc/BlackBeanControlPython3

It seems as though if I have learned a command on one device it can't be sent to another device. It doesn't put the other device in learning mode and no error is thrown.

If I use the python-broadlink package directly I can learn a command on one and send it to both devices.

Here's the sample code I'm using to learn a command using python-broadlink:

#!/usr/bin/python

import broadlink
import time

print "discover"
devices = broadlink.discover(timeout=5)
device = devices[1]
device.auth()
print "enter_learning"
device.enter_learning()
print "sleep"
time.sleep(5)
print "check data"
ir_packet = device.check_data()
print str(ir_packet).encode('hex')

I'm taking the output from a learned command and putting it into this script to send it to both devices:

#!/usr/bin/python

import broadlink
import time

hex_ir_packet = "260070004f13141327141314141328131314141328131314131414131500035f4e14141328121513131428131314131427141413131414131400035e4f14141328131413141328131413141327141413141315121500035f4e141413271315131413281314131413271414131314141314000d050000000000000000"
ir_packet = hex_ir_packet.decode('hex')

print "discover"
devices = broadlink.discover(timeout=5)
device = devices[0]
device.auth()
print "Send command to device 1"
device.send_data(ir_packet)
print "wait"
time.sleep(2)
device = devices[1]
device.auth()
print "Send command to device 2"
device.send_data(ir_packet)

It looks as though in your package the learned command has four bytes of zero padding added, is decrypted using the device auth key, and then stored in the BlackBeanControl.ini file. Perhaps the decrypting the packet with the device key makes it unable to be re-encrypted with a different device key.

This functionality may be by design to prevent a command learned on once device to be sent to another, but it might be nice to broadcast the same command to a different device/room by learning it once on another device.

I forked this packaged and was going to try and rewrite the code for learning and sending commands. I would try to write the commands as encoded hex and make a way to migrate codes from the old to the new format so they don't have to be re-learned again.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for building this package! It's working great with my Alexa integration code that I am planning on releasing here soon! :-)

Hi! Hello

Thank you

Hi,
I set BlackBean on Raspberry and I am trying to record my first command and I get this error:

Hello,
I've tried your script but I can't make it work.
I've got the HexDump of dummy command set and one to turn on my TV.
But when I launch the script nothing happen.
No error either.
Current version of my BlackBean is: v20027
Android App version is: v3.7.1-1.1.9

I've used tPacketCapture on my phone to get UDP trame then open on my laptop with Wireshark.
Filter on ip.dst == MyBroadLinkIP
Get the Payload line and right click -> Copy -> As Hex stream
Store them in config file.
Launch the script:

python BlackBeanControl.py -c TVOnOff

Thank you.

First, thanks for this great job!

Now, my question:
I’m using Broadlink to send IR commands from my Openhab and works great!
Best would be if we can forward the Received IR commands from Broadlink to Openhab.
That option would be amazing to open a new way to interact with home doing thinks like turning lights with unused remote tv buttons (just a small sample).
Thanks

I have set it up on my raspberry pi 3 and it was working without issues. Suddenly it stopped working and i am getting the following error when i run the command.

I think the pip-install version 0.11.1 is outdated, unable to discover my broadlink ir remote (black bean). the this git-cloned version can discover it

Hi there,
Probably a stupid question, but how do you send IR commands?
The readme only seems to evolve around getting IR commands in the database (.ini file)...
Maybe good to add to the Read.me?

This is not an issue, but rather than a feature request: is there any way to send complex commands like controlling an AC? In default Broadlink app it is possible.

1, fan speed (low, med, high)
2, mode (heating, cooling, drying, etc)
3, temperature
4, on/off

...as one command.

All suggestions are welcomed.

I initially set this up on an RPi3 and got everything rolling. I decided to move it to my Mac instead, for easier execution from my home automation software.

Setup went without a problem into a virtualenv environment. Since I'm using the same RM3 and it's still on the LAN, I copied the BlackBeanControl.ini file over from the Pi since I had already set up everything, including a bunch of commands. Here's what I'm getting:

PyCrypto issue?

This is more of a support issue (or maybe a desperate cry for help) than a bug since this script is working exactly like the official Android APK. What is weird though is that the Android APK has a built-in remote for Dish that works fine. However, the remote is basically labelled in Chinese and it won't let edit it. I also want to make a custom remote with the volume keys from a Logitech surround system (the TV and DishTV volume controls do nothing). Naturally, the app lets you create a remote and "learn" the keys. The keys learn fine, but don't work when played back!

The built-in remote works just fine, but I can't duplicate it. Commands are being recorded, as shown here:

but those commands look a bit long in the tooth! It looks like the Android app is storing in a database format. Should I grab some pcap files and wireshark it?

But ... thank you SOO much for all the work that has been done on this. The best thing about buying cheap crap from China is that it's cheap enough that someone else has probably already bought one just to play with it and reverse engineer it. The expensive stuff is purchased by people that don't take things apart!

I guess @davorf you had no chance to test other devices. I just tested it on my RM pro and it works perfect (IR + RF).

I don't know how I missed your comments on issue #14, but I can not learn that remote with the script nor the original app. I think that is why the original app has that remote as a built-in.

Any idea how to proceed? What if I get you network dumps of the original/working app remote in use. Could you make a config based on that?

I'm not completely non-technical, but I'm a bit out of my depth with this. I'm trying to install on windows 64 bit system. I've installed the python compiler, but I don't know how to install the 'dependencies' or where to put things in my folders for it to work. What I'm trying to do is send commands to my RM3 from the windows command line.

If anyone can help me, my email address is [email protected]

many thanks in advance!

Hello!

I have been using this tool perfectly for several months but I am suddenly getting the error:

Church-Server:~ churchserver$ python /Users/churchserver/python-broadlink/BlackBeanControl/BlackBeanControl.py -c PowerToshiba Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/churchserver/python-broadlink/BlackBeanControl/BlackBeanControl.py", line 3, in <module> import broadlink, configparser

I'm using the model MR3 which correctly switch in the learning mode when sending a new command not listed yet. Learning from different buttons and different devices produce always the same ID, here my BlackBeanControl.ini Commands section.
Of course the commands does not work at all.
Any clue?

Hello!

Firstly, your documentation and plugin is great! I am using it in conjunction with Homebridge so I can control the RM3 via Siri which is excellent.

My RM3 controls my Amp, TV and AppleTV - however when a command is sent my AppleTV (long menu hold) I get this error:

bash-3.2# python /Users/churchserver/python-broadlink/BlackBeanControl/BlackBeanControl.py -c WakeATV
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/churchserver/python-broadlink/BlackBeanControl/BlackBeanControl.py", line 170, in <module>
    RM3Device.send_data(FinalCommand)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/broadlink-0.2-py2.7.egg/broadlink/__init__.py", line 376, in send_data
    self.send_packet(0x6a, packet)

    response = self.cs.recvfrom(1024)
socket.timeout: timed out
bash-3.2# 

The command is sent, and the AppleTV responds. This doesn't to happen with other two devices. My ini file looks like this:

This does not disrupt my usage, but it is just a bit confusing why the error appears.

Thanks,

Hey there,

More a question then a issue. I want to use Tautulli to run a script to close some blinds when a movie starts.

I have the devices set up in the IHC application. would this software be able to do this? Is there a template to get an idea of how to create the script?

Thanks so much

Breaks with mjg59/python-broadlink@8754493. Works with previous commit mjg59/python-broadlink@21d96bd.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi, I've been using your python script recently and I was able to successfully send commands to the RM Mini 3 and have them executed.

While working on this I was wondering if you made additional progress regarding the need to send a dummy command before every real command?

When capturing the traffic to the RM Mini there's no additional (other than the 'command') packet going directly to the RM and I was hoping we could get around having to send the dummy command to keep the RM responding.

Best regards, Alex

How do you send multiple commands in sequence without making multiple calls of the software?

Thanks.

#Hi,
This is not an "issue", cause BlackBeanControl works just fine.
I was wondering how to make the BlackBeanControl to send a Pronto Hex signal like the below:
0000 006d 0022 0002 0157 00ac 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0041 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0689 0157 0056 0015 0e94
I tried but it responds with error about the number of digits. Is there any way to convert this so BlackBeanControl would send it?

When running the script, I always get this error:

-bash: BlackBeanControl.ini: command not found

There is no indication that the RM3Mini ever enters learning mode, however, and there is never any change made to the .ini file.

What am I missing?

Thx!

Hello!
Is it normal that response time is slow? After issuing command TV respond after 3secs, while my real remote respond instantly.

Hello.. It looks like you have error at line 167..
RM3Device = broadlink.rm((RealIPAddress, RealPort), RealMACAddress)
TypeError: init() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)

After adding "RealTimeout" as 4th argument it is working just fine...

Hello,
I'm can successfuly learn any command but
When I try to send command command , I'm receiving the following issue:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./BlackBeanControl.py", line 232, in

Hi all,
thanks you very much for the IR support!!!
Do you planify do same for RF ?

thanks

I have BlackBeanControl working for a few weeks now on an RM3 mini (device I purchased over a year ago). Today I attempted to add a second RM3 mini in another room (Just purchased this one from Amazon, more than a year newer than the other). I added a new device section to the .ini file but I cannot get past an auth failure with the new RM3. Nothing I've tried works and I'm stuck. Am I missing something? Is it possible that the authentication key has changed in the firmware?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./BlackBeanControl.py", line 168, in <module>
    RM3Device.auth()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/broadlink-0.14.1-py2.7.egg/broadlink/__init__.py", line 271, in auth
    check_error(response[0x22:0x24])
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/broadlink-0.14.1-py2.7.egg/broadlink/exceptions.py", line 97, in check_error
    raise exception(error_code)
broadlink.exceptions.AuthenticationError: Authentication failed

The working device has firmware version "v57", but the failing device has firmware version "v44057".

Thanks!

hi,

what's the easiest method to control more than one Minis?

thanks

Hi,
In the RMPRO mobile app, there are options to search for remote and add it to your configuration. In such a case, if I use a remote imported from the app, can I generate the command section by any automatic way?
Regards,
Vijay
