Hey there @danielhiversen, @felipediel, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with an integration (broadlink) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

Please double check the MAC address.

[marrobHD]

I have the same issue. Can't get it to work. The MAC I used is correct. I'm also using the rm pro+

[felipediel]

We changed a lot of things recently. Did you read the docs?

1. You need to add the device via Integrations first.
2. If you want to create custom switches, DOUBLE CHECK the MAC address. You cannot enter a wrong MAC address anymore. If you make a mistake, your switches won't be created because they won't be linked to any device. I'm 99% sure that's your problem.

[marrobHD]

Yes I read the docs. Yes I added the broadlink via integrations. I used the mac which is shown in the Broadlink App. Switches config:

- platform: broadlink
  mac: '78:0F:77:XX:XX:XX'
  switches:
    - name: "Receiver"
      command_on: 'JgBQAAABJZUVNRE4ERQRFBAUFRARFBE4ERQRExYPERQROBUQERQRExYPERQRFBQ1ETgSExEUETgSOBQ1ETkVDxITETgVNRUQEQAFuQABJksRAA0FAAAAAAAAAAA='

Ok, I'm curious now. Please open a terminal on your computer, install the python-broadlink library (pip install broadlink), open Python 3 and type:

import broadlink as blk

devs = blk.discover(timeout=10)
print([(d.host[0], hex(d.devtype), d.mac.hex(), d.is_locked) for d in devs])

devs = blk.discover(discover_ip_address="192.168.0.17", timeout=10)  # Your device IP address
print([(d.host[0], hex(d.devtype), d.mac.hex(), d.is_locked) for d in devs])

What is the output?

[shenvenk]

Please double check the MAC address.

Hi, I'm very sure I'm using the correct MAC address as well. I've copied from the Broadlink manager.
as for the terminal command, I couldn't do it now as I don't have access to my computer right now. I will do it after work today.
Anyway thanks for your hardwork.

Here are the result.

This is the Yaml to compare the Mac address:

Did you check the entity id? Sometimes you need to update the id on lovelace. Does the remote entity work normally?

Hi @felipediel,
Thank you so much, I am manage to get the entities out after editing lovelace. the remote entity does work normally.
Thanks alot for all the hardwork on Broadlink intergration. Appreciate it.

[marrobHD]

What did you have to change to make it work again?

[felipediel]

Go to /config/entities to see the name of your entities. Then go to your default view, click the button in the upper right (those ...), edit dashboard, and then you customize your UI.

[marrobHD]

Working now thanks
