A Python library and CLI for controlling Broadlink smart home devices locally over the network, including universal remotes, smart plugs, sensors, bulbs, and more. It handles device discovery, authentication, and device-specific control commands.
Use cases
- control broadlink smart plugs from python
- learn and send IR codes with broadlink RM4
- discover broadlink devices on local network
- read temperature and humidity from A1 sensor
- control broadlink light bulbs without cloud
- automate broadlink curtain motor
- integrate broadlink devices into home automation
When to choose
- you want local, cloud-free control of Broadlink devices
- you need programmatic access to Broadlink devices from Python
- you're building home automation integrations (e.g., Home Assistant)
- you need to capture and replay IR/RF remote codes
When to avoid
- you need official cloud API features or remote access outside LAN
- your device model is not in the supported list
- you need a GUI app rather than a library/CLI
