I, as well as many others, have the necessary code and are not precluded from using it. I have it running right now.
I see. Thanks for the tip. It seems like Amazon Mexico does have the RM MINI3 in stock. It may actually work!
I don't think it would make sense for you to ship it down there.
Of course not. I'm not sure if Amaxon Mexico has these. They have the RM4 which is not the best choice, according to that thread. Check Mercadolibre. https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-737340568-controlador-remoto-broadlink-rm-pro-wifi-ir-rf-_JM#position=16&type=item&tracking_id=5e94956a-7a2f-464e-a7f0-497c7d9a68f7
Where in Mexico are you?
I just followed the link to Google drive and downloaded Hubitat-Broadlink_v0.50.zip which seems to contain the driver and app. It looks complete.
I keep getting the following error:
" 404. That’s an error.
The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know."
They have the mini 3

That should work, right?
The house is in Manzanillo. I'll be flying there to set it all up in a few days.
Oh, everybody has Mini3. It's an IR only device and I never tried it. I wanted a device that can do RF and IR, future-proof it. But it may do what you want. My house is in Playa del Carmen and the construction is not very friendly to radio waves, with a concrete brick and steel reinforcement mesh everywhere. I have a SmartThings box there and use Remotec ZXT-120 right now. I Will switch to something else the next time I go back.
Yeah, I am hoping that adding for z-wave plus devices and a some powerline adapters with wifi I can fully connect all the stuff I have planned. Maybe I'll have to get a z-wave repeater too
I have a WiFi mesh in my place. That helps A LOT! I also use 2 Z-wave repeaters.
I've got a Remotec ZXT-600 running my Daikin Split System atm - it's ok but the implementation could use some improvement. The HE Driver doesn't show the correct supported Modes for either Fan or Cool/heat types. The community driver allows you to override supported modes which is nice but is missing a bunch of supported fan modes for me*.
I've also got a Sensibo Sky v2 which worked ok with a community driver but requires a cloud service. if this had direct control over LAN support it would be my favorite as it just does what you tell it to and doesnt try to be overly clever about it.
*Apparently not detecting supported Thermostat modes is a HE issue.
EDIT: updated my comments on the Remotec as I got my wires crossed.
Does anyone know of any zigbee products that serve a similar function as the broadlink or remotec products? I have a similar setup as the OP with a 3 zone mini split.
I see. I panic bought 3 ZXT-120US from someone who was willing to ship them for $140. Hopefully I can get them working well. All I really need is for them to turn off the A/C when no motion is detected.

Thank you!
One thing I found is the Remotec code finder actually needs the remote control model number, not the ac model number.
It works much better once you realise this.

FWIW, I forgot to mention Im using this Community driver as it supports more fan modes and you can actually disable the HVAC modes your Split System doesnt support.

Argh, I've gone back to my Sensibo Sky to control my Daikin Split - the community driver was just not working quite right. I assume due to it being based on a non-zwave plus driver - it would keep failing to update the status correctly and this caused automation failures.
The HE driver is reliable but I was unable to find a way to set the fan modes other than On and Auto.
I've written a driver for my Mitsubishi Electric Air Con and was able to update the support fan modes through the driver code. If that's what you were wanting to do I can give you a hand to update the code. Unfortunately if you want to control the fan speed using the fan control template / capability, the modes (speeds) available there are not able to be changed afaik.
EDIT - Actually, I might just dial down the simplicity of that change. Changing the list of supported fan modes should be easy enough, the complexity may come from translating those into commands to send to the unit or any other reliance on the current list of modes.

Tbh I’m just kinda fed up with the Remotec, no matter which system I’ve run it it on it has worked bizarrely and needs a bunch of workarounds.
Was trying to get away from cloud based systems, but I think the Sensibo Sky plus my Netatmo weather station will have to be my exceptions.
My zemismart blind motors are going to get flashed to Tasmota soon.
