Broadlink RM Mini and Pro plugin for Homebridge

This allows you to control your RM Mini and Pro with HomeKit and Siri.

• Node.js >= 7.6

1. Install homebridge using: sudo npm install -g homebridge
2. Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-broadlink-rm
3. Update your configuration file. (See config-sample.json)

As of version 1.0.0 your Broadlink RM Device is automatically discovered so you no longer need to specify a "host" value.

A "Learn IR"" accessory will automatically be added to the Home app and is dedicated to learning IR codes. Simply toggle the switch on, perform the IR command in front of your Broadlink RM device and copy the HEX output from the hombridge console log to wherever you want the code in the config.

The switch will toggle off automatically once the IR code has been received or 10 seconds has passed.

You can optionally stop attempting to learn IR by toggling the switch off yourself.

You shouldn't need to use this accessory type as we add one automatically but if you have multiple Broadlink RM devices then it may be useful to specify multiple devices with the "learn-ir" type along with a host so that you can learn from each of them.

Turn the switch on and the "on" hex code is sent, turn it off and the "off" hex code is sent.

Turn the switch on and the switch will send each hex code in the provided array until. It then turns itself off automatically. You can also set the interval between each send.

Turn the switch on and the switch will repeatedly send the hex code until it reaches the defined send count. It then turns itself off automatically. You can also set the interval between each send.

Turn the fan on and the "on" hex code is sent, turn it off and the "off" hex code is sent.

Additionally, Siri supports the toggling of the swing mode and setting of the fan speed as a %.

If you don't specify every fan speed then the accessory will choose the hex code of the fan speed closest to the one requested. e.g. If you only specify fan speeds of 10%, 50% and 100% then ask "Set Fan to 40%" then the hex code for 50% will be used.

This allows you to send a hex code for any temperature that you've defined a hex code for. If you simply want to heat up or cool down a room (and not learn every single temperature code) you can just set hex codes for the lowest and highest temperatures and those will be used whatever temperature you request.

There looks to be a glitch in the Apple Home app in that nothing happens when setting the mode to Off when you've turned the thermostat on by setting a specific temperature. Siri and other HomeKit apps don't have the same glitch. As a work-around you can just select a different mode and then press Off. This only happens the first time after launching homebridge.

If you have multiple devices (e.g. one in the bedroom, one in the lounge) then you can additionally specify a "host" value with the Broadlink RM's IP or MAC address.

If you wish to have multiple Learn IR accessories (e.g. for each device) then you can add accessories with a type of "learn-ir" and then specify the "host" and "name" values.
