Neuer ioBroker-Blog online: Monatsrückblick März/April 2026

Hi.
I have Broadlink RM Mini 3 and I'm able to learn IR commands and probably send them from ioBroker using Scenes.

But what I need is to detect that a specific (learned) IR command has been received by Broadlink, so I could publish a message on MQTT broker with MQTT-client adapter? In short: I need to publish MQTT message if I press a IR remote button. I can't find a way how to configure it.

I don't have mini, just a RMPro but that shoudn't matter.

As soon as you have an IR command learned and saved in the broadlink adapter you can set a trigger in a blockly script to fire when you press that button on the remote. What you want the script to do is then pretty much up to you I guess. Sorry, I don't know anything about MQTT.

@Albert-K I combined that learned object with MQTT-Client, but it doesn't send anything if I issue this IR command from other remote. And that's what I'd like to do. I don't want to send any commands from Broadlink.

That is not going to work as far as I know. The adapter only helps to relay the sending of IR commands, not the receiving of signals.

The Broadlink only processes incoming IR signal while learning.

I use RM Mini and it works fine with the broadlink adapter.

[Tomasz Nowak]

@MathiasJ Do you use it to receive IR commands?

[Tomasz Nowak]

Never mind, I've managed to solve this with fakeroku adapter :)

@Tomasz-Nowak
No I send IR commands with it to the TV, HIFI, A/C, 433 MHz Signals to the plugs.....
