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
