A reliable and working option to integrate Broadlink RM Mini3 in an Android project. It requires Broadlink official apps to configure the RM remote and connect it to local WiFI,. Once that is done, you can easily learn and send IR codes from your app without relying on Broadlink apps.
On all my devices (I tested on android 8 and 9 devices) when I enter ip and port of RM Bridge I received only "invalid request".
Good, but it does not work with RM Pro... is there a workaround it? If you managed to get it working with this, it would be just great...
Does not see 2018 rm3 pro +. IP connects but no device in list
It doesn't work with new RM pro+. We need the update.
What about RM Pro? I added mine manually but I keep getting Error learning code: mac:XXXXXX not rm2
This is pretty amazing (and techie) but it provides a very simple way to learn IR codes and recall the buttons using automation (if you can program in HTML and use wget or curl you'll love this app). The Broadlink eControl app is neat but I can't easily share it on all phones in the house and at 85MB installed size it's not the best fit (and it's worse on my spare iOS phones used for home control). That's where this RM Bridge shines. Docs are a little rough but much easier than most IR code tools (JP1 is one old example with a giant learning curve). Go to the websites they list, start programming up the short URL codes and write up a webpage now anyone in the house can click on my shared list of remotes. Only problem so far is my Android phone I use as a server seems to stop the HTTP server every day, I'll be trying it on an Android TV box or VM and might need to try a crontab entry to cycle it every day.
Good functionality, but stops constantly for no reason. It's hard to automate things that have to be regularly reset. I appreciate the work from the developer, but it's just not working. Nexus Player running Oreo.
I wish it supported https for a little added security, but am downgrading from 5 to 1 star because it just stopped working months ago and I sent emails to get some ideas or support and never got a reply.
It is very difficult to understand what devices exactly are supported. I have an RM Pro + with serial number beginning with RM3322. Is this device supported? The fun2code setup site keeps telling me: "Learn Code: Error learning code: mac:34:ea:34:xx:xx:xx not Rmpro+" I used 10026 as device type.
Seems cool. Just wish it supported more Broadlink devices... would obviate the RM Tasker plugin + Tasker apps (which supports almost all broadlink devices) or having to run HASS.io.
It's not working. I cannot access the address.
Does everything it needs to. Running on a hacked Wink Relay, and could not be happier. It can take a bit of troubleshooting to get it set up correctly, but once you're there it is perfect.
Great App. Works Great with RM Pro 3 and Alexa. Excellent Support from the developer and quick to reply. Keep up the good Works.
Does not do anything poor instructions there is nothing in the interface please make instructions people without severe autism can understand
Thanks so much for developing this and making it so easy to setup!
It works as advertised. Adding IR commands is reliable, but RF is hard to program. Do you have plan to add import from e control?
No instructions how to use this bridge i have a rm pro and a google home what do i do next
Works brilliantly on RM3 mini with workaround. API works great and is well-documented. 6 stars!
Works perfectly with the rm2 and RM mini 3 using the workaround.
Doesn't work with rm pro
Great job, tried this bridge and it works well. My question is: Does it need to run the RM bridge (as phone app) in the same wifi network? Also have broadlink SP 2 socket installed (which is using RF) but the API seems unable to detect, hope it is gonna add more capabilities. Thanks
Doesn't work with rm mini3, will change rating if that changes.
According to other reviews this seems to work fine with BroadLink RM1/RM2. Out of curiosity I tried if it works with Broadlink RM mini 3 (also knows as Black Bean) as well. It doesn't.
Used to be extremely reliable, but now... My shortcuts and codes still exist in 1.2.1, but I cannot execute any. The browser just hangs. I've checked the broadlink device is still on. After downgrading to 1.2.0 it works again.
This app makes appliance automation via voice possible.. Many thanks!
Wish i could run this on Windows or Raspberry Pi
Perfect. I run it in an Android VM in VirtualBox so I don't need to keep an Android device laying around.
Works nice and all (those RM3 devices really needed a more friendly way of communicating than sending raw udp packets). But I'm still confused as to why this needs to be an android app. If anyone would need a server to bridge between a device connected to their home wifi and incoming http requests, serving it from a device that's in and out of home every day seems like the least practical idea. Maybe keep this app to keep your project browable from the app store and let people try and see your tech is legit, but provide a more conventionnal way to deploy it from a compouter at home ?
