If you get a BroadLink RM4 Pro, you can use any light strip that has an RF remote and discrete on and off buttons. My kitchen already had a cheap light kit in it and it works great even with the RM4 in another room.

Partly worksIR learning works; RF code learning (rolling codes) is difficult

I've been playing around with BroadLink RM4 Pro with HomeBridge for over a month now trying to make it work, I've done good progress so far, still not working 100% but I wanted to share my experience that might help others and hoping some might have suggestions on how to make it work. I'm running HomeBridge on Pi version 1.1.6 with BroadLink Plugin by kiwi-cam (https://github.com/kiwi-cam/homebridge-broadlink-rm#readme) with the following config section: {"platform": "BroadlinkRM","name": "Broadlink RM4 Pro","hideWelcomeMessage": true,"hideScanFrequencyButton": false,"hideLearnButton": …

Partly worksWorks but logs temp/humidity every 10s despite log level; noHumidity option silences it

I am currently using the Homebridge Broadlink RM Pro plugin by kiwi\_cam. Everything is great except the plugin continuously reports the temperature and humidity despite setting the log-level to warning. Is the reporting of the sensor data independent of the logLevel, does anyone know how to silence this, or most likely...have I made an error in my configuration? Thanks! Device: Broadlink RM4 pro with the Sensor Cable. The plugin configuration: `{` `"platform": "BroadlinkRM",` `"name": "BroadlinkRM",` `"hideScanFrequencyButton": true,` `"hideLearnButton": false,` `"hideWelcomeMessage": true,` …

Partly worksOne button per function works; multi-button single accessory not possible

Hi Everyone, I am using homebridge-broadlink-rm-pro) plugin on my homebridge. I have added my TV successfully but couldn't add my light remote controller because I couldn't find a good JSON example for this remote controller. In the remote controller, I would like to use only 4 buttons (ON/OFF, Mix Light, Turn, Flash). I have checked here: https://broadlink.kiwicam.nz/#accessories but nothing was suitable for this button. Please kindly suggest to me which JSON I should use. Thank you for all

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
