techno-broadlink

A Docker container for BroadLink devices that hosts an HTTP Web API and a UI to send commands to devices on your local network. For instructions, please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MJW29mR-Xc I have tested this with an RM3 and RM4. In theory, all devices listed here should work. techno-broadlink is the open-source project timothystewart6/techno-broadlink (https://github.com/timothystewart6/techno-broadlink) by timothystewart6, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit 770bbbac5e41, adding only a manifest, an icon and a start script.

Not rated. Nobody has said who this app is suitable for, so Personal Clouds and the Oikou app treat it as 18+.

Internet

It asks to reach nothing on the internet.

Devices on your network

Can find the devices on your network (addresses, makers, names, open ports) on networks you choose: Finds BroadLink RM remotes on your local network by UDP broadcast, then learns and sends IR/RF commands to them

Asks to run on the network of your Personal Cloud’s computer itself, outside your Personal Cloud’s network controls (Personal Clouds on Linux).

Each scan needs your approval unless you allow it always, and it can reach a device it found only once you approve it.

Personal Cloud tools

None. It uses nothing from your Personal Cloud beyond its own storage.

Notifications

It does not send push notifications.

Storage

Up to 512 MB on your Personal Cloud.

Its address

Works best with its own address. A Personal Cloud shared through Cloudflare can give it one; on a private Personal Cloud on Tailscale it opens under your Personal Cloud’s address, where it may not work fully. Private and shared Personal Clouds
