Broadlink devices integrate with Home Assistant to provide IR and RF remote control of legacy devices — TVs, air conditioners, fans, and other appliances that use infrared or radio frequency remotes. The Broadlink RM series acts as a universal remote bridge, learning and replaying IR/RF signals.
This integration is invaluable for smart home installations that need to control non-smart devices. Air conditioners, ceiling fans, projectors, and older AV equipment can all be automated through Home Assistant by sending the same IR/RF signals their original remotes use.
Getting Broadlink connected to Home Assistant and running reliably.
Home Assistant automatically discovers Broadlink devices on your local network. Add them through the integrations panel with a few clicks.
Control brightness, color, and color temperature from the Home Assistant dashboard. Create lighting groups that operate as one.
Build automations that trigger Broadlink lights based on motion, time, presence, or any other event in your smart home.
The problems installers run into with Broadlink and Home Assistant — and how a managed setup prevents them.
Learning IR codes from existing remotes doesn't always capture signals perfectly. Some devices use complex IR protocols that Broadlink doesn't reproduce accurately, causing intermittent control failures.
IR/RF control is one-way — Broadlink sends signals but can't confirm whether the device received and acted on them. Home Assistant has no way to verify if the AC actually turned on or if the TV changed input.
Broadlink's RF transmission range is limited compared to the original remotes. Wall-mounted units may not reach devices in adjacent rooms, requiring multiple Broadlink devices.
