Homebridge Broadlink RM [Original]

Introduction

Welcome to the Broadlink RM Mini and Broadlink RM Pro plugin for Homebridge.

This plugin allows you to control your RM Mini and RM Pro with HomeKit using the Home app and Siri.

Documentation

Full documentation can be found here. With the following additional configuration options available:

Switch Accessory

key description example default
pingGrace (optional) Pauses ping status changes for the specified period (seconds) to allow device to start-up/shutdown after the change 15 10

Aircon Accessory

key description example default
w1DeviceID (optional) Updates device current temperature from a Raspberry Pi Wire-1 thermometers (i.e. ds18b20). Value is the Device ID 28-0321544e531ff

"data" key-value object

The device can be setup to manage modes in one of two ways. If your AC unit accepts a hexcade to change mode only (without temperature details) you can set the mode keys (heat/cool) and then the temperatureX values to change the teperature. If your AC unit sends hexcodes that contain the mode AND temperature you can use the modeX codes alone.

When the mode is changed the mode hexcodes are sent first - if set. Then the modeX code is sent to set the temperature, if it is set. If a matching modeX code can't be found, the temperatureX code is sent. If neither of these temperature codes are found either defaultHeatTemperature or defaultCoolTemperature codes will be used depending on if the target Temperature is higher or lower than the current temperature.

key description
off A hex code string to be sent when the air conditioner is asked to be turned off.
temperatureX A hex code string where X is any temperature you wish to support e.g. "temperature30".
modeX A hex code string where X is any temperture, and mode is one of "heat","cool", or "auto". Hex code used to set unit to the specified mode and temperature
