Control universal remote control Broadlink by Openhab

Control all your IR enabled devices with Broadlink rm3 mini through Openhab

Based on Cato_Sognen bindings and tutorial
https://github.com/mgwoj/org.openhab.binding.broadlink
https://community.openhab.org/t/broadlink-binding-for-rmx-a1-spx-and-mp-any-interest/22768/56?u=x-ray181

Go to Paper UI in the Add-ons->Transformation install Map Transformation if you dont have it yet.
Download broadlink bindings. You can grab the latest here or search through the openhab community link from the top.
Move the jar file into openhab\addons\
Search in PaperUI->Inbox for Broadlink (if binding is not visible try restart openhab service)

New thing should appear in the Inbox. Add it as a Thing.
Now thing configuration:
“For each device you are required to enter a common Authentication Key and IV parameter.
These were obtained and shared by someone who reversed engineered the protocol and such due to legal reason I cannot post these two items here.
If you do not have these two then Google is your friend.
Both need to be entered in hex string format by omitting the 0x.
For example, if the key is something like 0x09, 0x76, 0x28… you will enter this as 097628… Once done, you should have two hex strings, each with a length of 32 characters.”

link for the Key and IV parameter

in here also insert the broadlink.map this will be file holding all your IR codes.

create new item in your items file (openhab\items\default.items)

String name_of_your_item "Shown_name" (group_if_wanted) { channel="your_thing _channel:command" }

here is where you get your thing channel

example:

String IR_CONTROL "IR Control" (IR_Control_group) { channel="broadlink:rm3:78-0f-77-5a-c7-04:command" }

Now we can start learning the codes and adding them into the broadlink.map file (openhab\transform\broadlink.map)

first install android application (RM Bridge) which will create bridge to network where your broadlink remote is. here

go to http://rm-bridge.fun2code.de/rm_manage/code_learning.html
insert IP and port shown in the RM Bridge Android app.

For RM3 mini you have to use workaround:
Fill in a name (whatever), the MAC address of the RM mini 3, specify RM2 as type and press the Add Manually button. (you can see MAC address in the PaperUI, Configuration -> Things -> Edit -> Broadlink RM3 -> Show more)

Then choose your remote from Device list.
Now click learn code. On the RM3 mini led light will start blinking.
Point remote control to RM3 and push button which you want to learn.

on the page you will see something like this:

{“api_id”:1004,“command”:“send_code”,“mac”:“B4:43:0D:38:FA:9D”,“data”:“260068000001289314101312143513121411131213111411133613361510143614351336143614351411133615101411131213111313131014361412123712361436133615351435140005230001274815000c4d0001284a12000c4d0001284915000c4b00012a4814000d05”}

copy only the part in the last quotes and inset it into the broadlink.map file. Where TV_POWER_ON is the command name you will use from sitemap or rules.

Now in the sitemap you can control your devices like this:

Switch item=IR_CONTROL label="TV[]" icon="screen" mappings=[TV_POWER_ON="ON", TV_POWER_OFF="OFF"]

Some devices as a settopbox require double IR signals to work properly. Learn the code from one button more than once (everytime it was different IR code from same button for me). save it in the broadlink.map under different codes (in my case power button: SETOBOX_ON3 and SETOBOX_ON4).
Then i created rule file as this (openhab/rules/IR.rules):

rule "rIRsetobox"
when
	Item SETOBOX received command
then 
    logInfo("rIRsetobox", "command "+receivedCommand)
	switch (receivedCommand) {
		case ON : {
			IR_CONTROL.sendCommand("SETOBOX_ON3")
			IR_CONTROL.sendCommand("SETOBOX_ON4")
			}
  		case OFF :{
			IR_CONTROL.sendCommand("SETOBOX_ON3")
			IR_CONTROL.sendCommand("SETOBOX_ON4")
			}
	}
end

items:

Switch SETOBOX "Settopbox" (IR_Control_group)

sitemap:

Switch item=SETOBOX label="Set Top Box[]" icon="player" mappings=[ON="ON", OFF="OFF"]
