Hi @mutmut, we crossed paths — I just opened a similar request without seeing your topic, so I’m centralizing here all the Broadlink needs as I see them:
- New types of remotes in addition to TV: air conditioning/heating (mode, target temperature, ventilation), fan (speed, oscillation), amp/soundbar (sources, volume) — with the corresponding Gladys features so that scenes can control them.
- Compact remote widget on the dashboard: exactly your need — choose the useful buttons (play, vol+, source, oscillation…) without creating a scene per button.
- Management of RF 433 MHz (RM pro / RM4 pro) in addition to IR.
- Import of codes from an existing IR database (type SmartIR) to avoid manual learning button by button.
These leads had already been identified at the time of the service development (points 1, 3, and 4 were in a GitHub backlog, never finalized). With the arrival of external integrations, there may be a great project here for a motivated developer from the community; the widget (point 2) is part of Gladys’ core.
Analyzed and consolidated with the help of Claude (AI) — reviewed and validated by me.
