RM Mini 3 and Daikin aircon - do you have it set up?

  This works wonders with my home assistant / rm mini / fujitsu aircon.

  I see they have daikin codes already there. With a bit of luck they will match.

    Thanks. Unfortunately those Daikin codes don't match my control, but that's OK - I can recreate them.

  Rather than do that, just go to /dev-service (the first icon in Developer Tools) and type in switch.broadlink_learn_command (along with the IP). You can then aim your remote at your RM Mini 3 and press the button you want to record, the code will show as a tile on your home screen. And repeat that for all the buttons you want to record.

  It's a 1.5 minute process to record most of your remote.

  ausmechkeyboards, could you possibly elaborate on your comment? Specifically, which device can we enter /dev-service?

    You should have actually replied to my comment so I would have gotten a notification.

  Ok, so I tracked down the relevant file config file from Broadlink, despite the autodetection not working. (Note: I did this manually after pressing buttons several hundred times and constructing config files).

  I did it like this:
  First, I downloaded all the Broadlink device configuration files:

  import requests
  import subprocess
  import os
  for x in range(0, 10000):
      if x > 10000:
          filename = '{}.gz'.format(str(x).zfill(4))
      else:
          filename = '{}.gz'.format(str(x).zfill(3))
      if not os.path.exists(filename):
          subprocess.run(['wget', 'http://cloud.broadlink.com.cn/irda_code/' + filename])
  

  Then, I pointed the device at my aircon and systematically ran the first command from every file one at a time until one did something using this code:

  import gzip
  import base64
  import broadlink
  import time
  import sys
  
  # settings
  device = broadlink.rm(host=("192.168.10.10",80), mac=bytearray.fromhex("34EA3488DDEE"), devtype=0x2737)
  
  print "Connecting to Broadlink device...."
  device.auth()
  time.sleep(1)
  print "Connected...."
  time.sleep(1)
  device.host
  
  import os
  #for x in range(0, 10000):
  for x in range(1000, 10000):
      if x > 1000:
          filename = 'files/' + str(x).zfill(4) + '.gz'
      elif x <= 1000:
          filename = 'files/' + str(x).zfill(3) + '.gz'
      print "sending for " + str(filename)
      if os.path.exists(filename):
          #subprocess.run(['cp', 'files/' + str(x).zfill(3) + '.gz', 'tmp'])
          #subprocess.run(['gzip', '-d', str(x).zfill(3) + '.gz'])
  
          with gzip.GzipFile(filename, 'rb') as f:
              print "sending for " + str(x)
              data = f.read()
              print(''.join([hex(ord(n))[2:] for n in data[1068:1068+960]]))
              # print(''.join([hex(n)[2:] for n in data[1068:1068+960]]))
              device.send_data(data[1068:1068+960])
              time.sleep(2)
  
  print "Code Sent...."
  

  That's where I'm at now. The next step is to convert the downloaded file to the right structure (somehow).

  Notes:
  These were critical to me being able to do this:
  https://github.com/NightRang3r/Broadlink-e-control-db-dump
  https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/issues/74
  https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/issues/57

  In https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink/issues/74 there is a file linked called ac_codes.txt - that appears to have a list of the commands defined in the Broadlink xxxx.gz file. I'm assuming, though, that they are consistent across devices and there isn't some separate thing retrieved that has the offsets and what the actual commands are. No-one, so far as I'm aware, has broken down the Daikin packet structure so I can't be sure.

  (The relevant file is 1015.gz from Broadlink)

    Did you ever get this working? I'm also trying to get my Daikin XL working with HA. I'm wounder if its worth going down the rabbit hole or waste of time.
