homebridge-switchbot VS homebridge-broadlink-rm

https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/homebridge-switchbot/issues/11.

Hey hey, the HA route doesn't need a hub, and it looks like the homebridge plugin doesn't either

It looks like this was fixed last month: https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/homebridge-switchbot/pull/387

is anyone here running Switchbot contact sensors and https://github.com/OpenWonderLabs/homebridge-switchbot ? I’m trying to trouble shoot poor performance of the contact sensors, I see instant reponses in the Switchbot app, but homebridge is either very slow or doesn’t report them at all. I have an open issue on it, but just thought I’d ask here too

I'm using the most up to date plugin by u/kiwi_cam

I wanted to know if it is possible (or request an update :) to add a sub-accessory to an existing accessory in the Broadlink plugin, for example an additional switch in the device settings that will trigger a certain action

Incidentally, I created this post only to figure out how to send commands using curl, but to answer your questions, yes, I configured separate IPs, I made them static. I have quadruple-checked both them and the MAC addresses. I have poured through the config settings in the plugin doc and in the github issues (where there's at least 1 other person with a similar issue that they managed to fix - but their fix didn't work for me). And I can control the mini using the broadlink app. For more details, you can read the issue I created on the repo: https://github.com/kiwi-cam/homebridge-broadlink-rm/issues/604

Hi, i found the issues Page of the github project really useful for code examples and would refer to the documentation for general orientation. Feel free to ask any question, although id consider myself a noob as well.

Here's my simple config file for use with https://github.com/kiwi-cam/homebridge-broadlink-rm

Samsung Tizen BroadLink RM Xiaomi miot

I use the Homebridge Broadlink RM Pro (GitHub link) for the Broadlink RM4 mini that I have and apart from this problem it works as it should.

This github issue looks promising, maybe it's related?

With the homebridge-broadlink-rm-pro plugin, you can set up TV inputs + on/off + volume up/down commands for anything that is controlled by an IR remote. You would need a Broadlink device such as the Broadlink RM Mini (~$20 on Amazon) and be a bit technical to "learn" the IR hex codes and then put them into the config file.

Someone appears to have had a similar issue on the same frequency and found a fix here.
