How to use E-CONTROL remotes on Home Assistant

If you already have your remotes learned on E-Control app you can use this method to "copy" trem to HA.

First get or learn all the remotes you want to add on HA in E-CONTROL

1. download script from https://github.com/NightRang3r/Broadlink-e-control-db-dump5

2. open the e-control app and on the left side menu choose "Share" and then "Share to other phones in WLAN" it should generate the files you will need on the script.

3. Connect your Android device to your computer and browse the SD card / External Storage folder "/broadlink/newremote/SharedData/" You need to get the following files: jsonSubIr jsonButton jsonIrCode and put them in the same folder as this script.

4. Install Requirement: simplejson pip install simplejson (you must install simplejson in the same python version you will use to run the scripts) (to check the version it is installed, you simple try to install again and will get the "already satisfied") (some one got it installed on 2.7 with 'sudo easy_install simplejson')

5. Navigate to the fold you have downloaded and run: python getBroadlinkSharedData.py Follow the screen steps. (those scripts were tested on python2.7)

6. Install python broadlink library: git clone https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink.git1 (navigate to folder you downloaded) sudo python setup.py install

7. Test the codes you got by using sendcode script you have already downloded. You need to edit the script with your RM Pro IP Address and MAC Address and with the code in hex format. When run the script, you know the code works when get message Code sent... Not every code works.

8. Convert the working HEX codes to Base64 here: http://tomeko.net/online_tools/hex_to_base64.php?lang=en1 and use on HA.
