broadlink-mqtt
An MQTT client that enables local network control of BroadLink smart home devices (IR/RF controllers, plugs, sensors, etc.) via Python.
What is broadlink-mqtt?
BroadLink-MQTT is a Python-based MQTT client that allows users to control BroadLink smart home devices locally over their network. It translates MQTT messages into device-specific commands, enabling integration with home automation platforms like Home Assistant without relying on BroadLink's cloud services. The project solves the problem of vendor lock-in and cloud dependency for BroadLink device owners.
Home automation enthusiasts and DIYers who own BroadLink devices and want to integrate them into a local, MQTT-based smart home system. It's also suitable for developers building custom automation scripts that require direct device control.
Developers choose BroadLink-MQTT because it provides a reliable, local control solution that enhances privacy and reduces latency compared to cloud-dependent alternatives. Its support for a wide range of BroadLink devices and flexible command modes makes it a versatile tool for complex automation scenarios.
