Broadlink Adapter

This add-on provides an adapter which adds ir devices to the Mozilla IoT Gateway

Installation

You can install Broadlink Adapter from gateway plugins page.

Configuration

By default, the broadlink-adapter has no ir device. You need edit configuration to control ir devices according to the following steps

Record ir codes

The first step, you record ir codes using a broadlink device. Exucute the following comand and answer displayed questions.

cd ~/.mozilla-iot/addons/broadlink-adapter
node asset/learncode

If you answer questions till the end, JSON will be output to console. For example, the following JSON is output when recording dimbleLight's ir code.

{
    "mac": "34:ea:34:c7:b2:ec",
    "type": "dimbleLight",
    "id": "dimbleLight01",
    "name": "Living dimbleLight",
    "ir": {

}

Add recorded ir codes to config

Open config and insert JSONs in the devices array.

cd ~/mozilla-iot/gateway/tools
./config-editor.py broadlink-adapter -e

{
    "devices": [
        // add JSONs here
    ]
}

If add multiple recorded ir codes, add recorded JSONs according to JSON format.

{
    "devices": [
        {
            "type": "dimbleLight",
            //first recorded json
        },
        {
            "type": "thermostat",
            //second recorded json
        },
