iot-broadlink

Wire up the cheap broadlink devices to aws-iot

Devices supported

• A1
• RM2 (only IR)

To start either:

npm install
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx
export AWS_REGION=xxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
export AWS_IOT_ENDPOINT_HOST=xxx
npm start

Or to use Docker:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --net host \ 
  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx \ 
  -e AWS_REGION=xxx \
  -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx \
  -e AWS_IOT_ENDPOINT_HOST=xxx \
  chrisns/iot-broadlink

Or to use Docker stack:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx
export AWS_REGION=xxx
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
export AWS_IOT_ENDPOINT_HOST=xxx
docker deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml ble

To learn a new IR code:

Publish:

{
  "state": {
    "desired": {
      "enterLearning":true
    }
  }
}

Push the button on the original remote; then publish:

{
  "state": {
    "desired": {
      "checkData":true
    }
  }
}

You'll then find:

{
  "reported": {
    "lastreceived": "&\u0000SOMETHING LIKE THIS\u0000"
  }
}

You can then send that code back to test you can now control that device:

{
  "state": {
    "desired": {
      "sendData": "&\u0000SOMETHING LIKE THIS\u0000"
    }
  }
}

And now rejoice for you have iot-ified an IR device.
