I thought that the C-7 had a ping option on the network settings page, but I may have been wrong.
You can use this little driver to do the same thing: [Release] Hubitat Ping
Yup, it cant see it
Though i dont know how i could make it work
What is your network and firewall setup like?
The Broadlink devices use UDP for communication, which may not cross subnet boundaries depending on how your network is configured. But if ping doesn't work then nothing will.
What is the Hubitat IP address?
Well, they're possibly on different subnets, which isn't all that surprising given Hubitat is wired and the Broadlink device is wifi.
Do you have other wifi devices working with unrelated integrations to Hubitat? Do you have any routing or firewall restrictions between the subnets (that you know of)?
Another sanity check question - how sure are you that the Broadlink IP address is correct? Can you check a client list in your router to see what its IP address is currently?
I have a xiaomi ax3000 router, and the device connects to this subnet
I have other devices also on this 192.168.31... subnet, but nothing I'm using with my hubitat. I also can't ping those devices from hubitat, so this should be the reason. I also don't see among the connected devices on the main router (ch7465vf) , only on the xiaomi router's connected devices.
I don't have any additional firewall setup that I know of. Unfortunately I'm not so deeply familiar with this stuff.
I also dont know if it would be possible to make the xiaomi router the same 192.168.0.... ip, for me this would be also ok.
I tried looking around in both router's settings but could not find any relevant things to play with
Did I understand that you have one router connected to another and that Hubitat is at one level and the Broadlink device is at the second level?
You may have a NAT between the two devices with this configuration, which won't work. Can you connect both Hubitat and Broadlink to the same router to see if that helps?
You might look at instructions on how to configure the second router as a switch and wireless extender only, so that it uses the same DHCP and routing settings network-wide as set by the "parent" router.
Good luck!
Thank you, solved it and functions perfectly!
It would be great if you'd have a short description in the readme, that also clarifies how you can access the saved codes and include it actually in the automations (push saved IR Code in an actuator device); After reading through the forum I found it, so ally happy

Great suggestion. I added a note for Rule Machine users to my readme on that point.

Is it possible to import an AC integration and show it as a thermostat in Hubitat?
The previous integration had RC HVAC Broadlink Integration which is working very well.
My integration for Broadlink remotes is compatible with that RC HVAC integration. Check one of the first few posts in this thread for instructions on how to make it work.

@tomw, I looked for the RC HVAC app but could not find it, all the links I found were dead ends. Do you have an updated link for that app?
I don't use it personally, but I thought there was at least one live link still floating around. Maybe another user can point you to it.

Hi @tomw, first of all thanks for the driver.
I have a question: how do I expose the learned commands to Alexa? In HA I've done this through scripts and these are exposed to Alexa as Scenes. How would I go about this in Hubitat?
Thanks in advance!
You need to create a virtual switch for each action you want to be able to command from Alexa and share that switch with the Alexa skill in Hubitat.
Then write a Rule Machine rule that is triggered by the state change of the virtual switch and with its actions being to execute the command(s) your want on the Broadlink virtual device.
There are a few more tips in this post: Broadlink IR/RF remotes integration (RM3 Mini, RM Pro, RM4 Mini/Pro) - #159 by hydro311

Hi @tomw ,
Thank you for this brilliant app!
I have used the previous popular app to set this up with my Toshiba air-to-air heat pump and it has worked well. I now decided to install your app as I was missing a few IR remote commands. And please forgive me if this is a daft question, but in the Readme on GitHub under the heading Compatibility with previous Hubitat integrations it says:
-
SendStoredCode,SendCode, andgenerateIRare provided only for compatibility with existing apps. They are not recommended for new applications.
In the rule I have created to controll the heatpump I use 'SendStoredCode' to send a code. If I should not use that, which command should I use?
Cheers,
Magnus

The old commands will work fine.
I recommend my version of the command, which is sendSavedCode. It has a nice feature to use an optional second parameter to repeat IR codes.

Does anyone here have need or interest in using lirc codes with their Broadlink remote? The codes database is here.
I wrote a lirc importer to provide an additional source of codes since Pronto codes are harder to find for new-ish devices.
I'd like to get some feedback on functionally and usability before I release it.
Please PM me if you'd be a possible user for lirc codes!
