Python control for Broadlink RM2 IR controllers

A simple Python API for controlling IR controllers from Broadlink. At present, only RM Pro (referred to as RM2 in the codebase) and A1 sensor platform devices are supported. There is currently no support for the cloud API.

Example use

Discover available devices on the local network:

import broadlink

devices = broadlink.discover(timeout=5)

Obtain the authentication key required for further communication:

devices[0].auth()

Enter learning mode:

devices[0].enter_learning()

Obtain an IR or RF packet while in learning mode:

ir_packet = devices[0].check_data()

(This will return None if the device does not have a packet to return)

Send an IR or RF packet:

devices[0].send_data(ir_packet)

Obtain temperature data from an RM2:

devices[0].check_temperature()

Obtain sensor data from an A1:

data = devices[0].check_sensors()

Set power state on an SP2/SP3 (0 for off, 1 for on):

devices[0].set_power(1)
