v1.2.0

First public release.

Install

Download BroadlinkRF.indigoPlugin.zip below, unzip it, and double-click Broadlink RF.indigoPlugin. Indigo does the rest.

What it does

Local control of Broadlink RM4 Pro RF commands with no cloud account. Learn a code from a remote you already own, name it, and send it from an Indigo action, trigger or control page. Relay devices map one code to On and another to Off, so the rest of Indigo can drive them like any other switch.

What changed since 1.1.0

• The plugin now installs its own dependency. It previously imported broadlink without shipping a requirements.txt, so it only ran on a machine that already happened to have the package. A fresh install logged "the broadlink Python package is unavailable" and stopped. Indigo installs it for you now.
• The About menu item pointed at the upstream python-broadlink project rather than this plugin.
• README rewritten for publication, including what RF genuinely cannot do.

Worth knowing before you start

RF is open loop. Nothing reports back, so a device's state in Indigo records what was sent, not what happened — if somebody uses the original handset, Indigo will not know. Fixed-code remotes only: rolling-code and encrypted devices are beyond the hardware.

Built on python-broadlink by Mike Ryan and Matthew Garrett, which does the real work of talking to the hub.
