BroadlinkJS RM (TypeScript)

Overview

This package is a TypeScript port of the popular broadlinkjs-rm library by @lprhodes.
It provides an easy way to discover and control Broadlink RM devices (IR and RF) directly from Node.js applications, now with full type definitions out of the box.

Features

• 📡 Discover Broadlink RM devices on your local network
• 🎛️ Send and learn IR and RF commands
• 🌡️ Read temperature data (on supported devices)
• ✅ Written in TypeScript with complete typings
• ⚡ Drop-in replacement for broadlinkjs-rm with the same API

Installation

npm install broadlinkts-rm

Usage

import Broadlink from "broadlinkts-rm";

// Create a Broadlink instance
const broadlink = new Broadlink();

// Start discovering devices on the local network
broadlink.discover();

// When a device is found and ready to use
broadlink.on("deviceReady", (device) => {
  console.log("✅ Device discovered:", device.host);

  // Put the device into learning mode
  device.enterLearning();

  // Listen for learned IR/RF codes
  device.on("rawData", (data: Buffer) => {
    console.log("📡 Learned code:", data.toString("hex"));
  });
});

Credits

This project is a TypeScript adaptation of the excellent work by @lprhodes in broadlinkjs-rm.

It also builds upon the research and contributions of:

• @momodalo with broadlinkjs
• @mjg59 with python-broadlink

Huge thanks to all of them for laying the foundation of Broadlink support in the open-source community.
