Learn Code (Couldn't learn code, device not found)

Can’t get RM3 to connect, and I’ve tried everything I found online. I’m running Homebridge on a MacBook with its firewall turned off. I can control the RM3 with the native app with no issues.

Logs:

My code, with couple of switches just as a placeholder:

Having the “Hosts” section under the plaforms doesn’t help. I can ping the RM3 with no issues from the MacBook. Some posts suggested installing this: https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink, but I have no idea how to do that. Is this something related to running Homebridge on a MacBook or does my router (Linksys EA8100) require some config? Please help me out here.

@Faisalthe01 @fizulnizam can you guys see if works to you?

I have tested without the hosts, when I set the host it’s getting a wrong device for me.

To tested it, just replace the index.js from broadlinkrm-js for this one:

I’ve had some success. I then updated to @rafaelncarvalho’s code and confirmed that it works and could learn. Then I reset my RM Mini3 and configured it with the IHC app. I was then able to replicate this issue using homebridge-broadlink-rm-pro@4.2.3 - learn code times out. I then re-updating using the working code and confirmed it resolved the issue.

homebridge-broadlink-rm-pro@4.2.4 now uses kiwicam-broadlinkjs-rm@0.8.3 (which is essentially @rafaelncarvalho’s code) and appears to work.

I’ve only got the one device to test but 🤞 hopefully I’ve now got both compatibility with the newer devices and backwards compatibility with existing devices. Please let me know if you have any issues - maybe here to keep the conversation cleaner.

The only niggling part is I can’t see why the previous version didn’t work when it integrated all the changes I could find anyway.
