homebridge-broadlink-rm VS homebridge-tuya

So, I finally got to utilize my Broadlink RM Pro, used a tool to extract the application data so I have the Hex codes ready at hand (https://github.com/lprhodes/homebridge-broadlink-rm/issues/696).

Does that model of air filter have a remote control? I have a Winix C555 which does come with a remote. So I was able to get the homebridge broadlink rm plugin to learn the hex codes from the remote and then treat it like a fan. That doesn't totally solve the issue with turning it on when it gets power back, but maybe gets you part of the way there.

Use LAN/local network based ones such as this one instead. Local connection also means much faster respond times.

I used github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya but some devices did not work.

So with regards local control using iRayanKhan's plugin. It's not actively supported currently, last update was June 2021. Also, the github page does say it supports fans, but when I try and configure this in homebridge, the pulldown menu to select device type doesn't include fans. I might try and configure via the json.

Here’s the site. Instructions are on the link. Tuya Local

I'm running Homebridge with iRayanKhan's Tuya plugin. https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya

https://github.com/iRayanKhan/homebridge-tuya is local and works fine. It doesn’t need updating because it has been solid for a long time and supports the latest features like adaptive lighting.
