I fear any integration with BroadLink is dead? Anyone know of any other ways to communicate to BroadLink devices?

Has not been updated in years? New BroadLink app works, but old e-control app even though it can be downloaded, does not see to find any devices.

I attempted to contact BroadLink asking if they have any APIs or control methods beyond the phone app... nothing but silence. I have a couple of the RM4 modules, they work great for TVs and such, but my new Innovair AC units? Horrible.

What is interesting is BondBridge... which does radio based devices not as much IR based device control, is very willing to have people leverage their published API.

I don't have this hardware, but there is a generic node.js library for it:

[https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-broadlink](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-broadlink)

You might be able to use that with function nodes? Or, if you want to dive in the deep end, create a new set of nodes based on that library. 😃
