Broadlink RM Pro
The Broadlink RM Pro universal RF and IR sender has arrived. I want to use this device to control some of my audio-visual equipment that only has IR control.
Being wary of giving up information to some companies, I was keen to find a way to control this device without relying on the Broadlink e-Control app.
This led me to Home Assistant, which I'll talk about in another post.
In order to get the RM Pro on the network, I installed the e-Control app on my Android device, but denied it from having any permissions, other than those that were necessary to get the device working.
I then blocked any outgoing internet traffic from this device using my WiFi router, to permit local control over my network, but prevent the device from dialing home.
I then commenced setting up the RM Pro in Home Assistant.
