Hello.
My parents have a low-end pellet stove and when it reaches the setpoint temperature it reduces its ventilation but doesn’t stop unlike many other brands. Even set to 18 ° we easily reach 25°.
I thought of gladys to manage the stove’s ignition and shutdown.
Gladys would be on an offline Raspberry Pi ( they don’t have internet ) a Zigbee temperature sensor and a universal infrared remote control.
The hardest part is finding the right remote

Why not use a Broadlink ?
Since Gladys Assistant 4.10 there’s an integration that does that 
( Gladys Assistant v4.10 est disponible et ajoute le support des télécommandes IR Broadlink | Gladys Assistant )
Available on Amazon: Broadlink Smart Home Hub, RM Mini3 Télécommande Universelle Intelligente WiFi IR, pour Tous Les contrôleurs infrarouges : Amazon.fr: High-Tech
What are your tinkering skills?
A Wemos with an IR LED running Tasmota will probably be able to do that (and measure the temperature at the same time).
Otherwise, the Broadlink will do it!
Sorry for the late reply, I was away.
I had indeed thought of the Broadlink, but I believed it needed an existing Wi‑Fi network whereas Zigbee has its own network.
Can you confirm that Broadlink can operate without an internet connection?
No idea, I don’t have a Broadlink You should be able to find that on the Internet!
@AlexTrovato Hi Alex, since you developed the Broadlink app, maybe you can answer me.
If I put the Raspberry Pi into a Wi-Fi access point mode I found this tutorial:
Création d'un point d'accès Wifi sur un Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Buster) [Yakafab]
Do you think I could use a Broadlink?
Thanks.
The Gladys and Broadlink integration does not require an internet connection. The local network should be sufficient.
You just need all devices to be on the same network.
Ok Thanks I will therefore place an order.
So I’ve made good progress.
Installation of the graphical interface to connect Gladys to the living room TV.
Installation of the Wi‑Fi hotspot access point.
@AlexTrovato Connection of the BroadLink RM4 mini → 2 days of repeatedly trying to pair it to get detection by Gladys, unplugging all the powerline adapters (CPL) and others; in short, I came to the conclusion that it was impossible to get Gladys to recognize it.
So I’ll go through Node-RED.
Installation of Node-RED via the Gladys Assistant integration in 5 seconds.
My RM4 mini works very well with Node-RED.
Since my scenes use schedules and without internet access in case of a power outage the schedule is lost, I added a battery-backed clock.
@pierre-gilles Small disappointment: without internet access the Docker Node-RED provided by the Gladys Assistant integration does not start.
Solved by installing Node-RED the old way Intégrer Node-RED avec Gladys Assistant en MQTT | Gladys Assistant
I still need to change the Raspberry Pi because the one I took (Pi 4 1GB) is a bit weak with the graphical interface to put into production.
I’ll make a tutorial for all of this.
Arf… indeed, we’re using the library at version 2.2.0; support for the RM4 mini is included in 2.4.0
We can certainly plan an upgrade.
Yes, that’s normal — you do need to download the container, right? ^^
Small clarification.
J’avais started the Node-RED installation while connected by Ethernet cable
on obtient cela
I create the Flows, everything works.
I disconnect the Ethernet cable, reboot the Raspberry Pi and then if I run docker ps there is no line for Node-RED
With the
you can restart by entering the following cmd
docker start gladys-node-red
if you did a manual install
docker start node-red
The integration in Gladys does not reflect the real state of the container, I think the container is removed and
Thanks — I had tried to restart it, but I had used run instead of start, so it didn’t work.
Cependant as mentioned above, it’s for my parents’ place, Gladys Assistant opens in full screen (kiosk mode) so I can’t imagine telling them if there’s a power cut they have to press Alt+F4 to kill Firefox, then open a terminal and finally type docker start gladys-node-red.
With the manual installation the node-red Docker restarts without any problem, so that works for me.
Great, afterwards node-red should work correctly; for now there are still some glitches, the integration does not reflect the container’s actual state… but this will be resolved in the near future, for now if you have node-red features that run better it’s better to use a manual installation or consider backing up your flows
@pierre-gilles for the Broadlink lib update:
I tested with my current devices, I didn’t notice anything broken, in theory, new devices should be supported.
Ok, if you’re confident in the update and it won’t break anything I’ll merge as soon as the tests pass
I’m confident, but I still have a test image just in case: atrovato/gladys:broadlink 
Thanks for the tests, it’s been merged and will be included in the next version of Gladys
