A clean Java API to Broadlink devices!

This is a Java version of mjg59's python-broadlink library.

This API is distributed via Maven Central. You can import via adding this as dependency in Maven pom.xml or clone/download this as ZIP and import in IDE.

1. Via Maven Central: (Release Builds) Add the following to your pom.xml under <dependencies>

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.github.mob41.blapi</groupId>
       <artifactId>broadlink-java-api</artifactId>
       <version>1.0.1</version>
   </dependency>

2. Via OSSRH Snapshots: (Development Builds) To access snapshots/development builds e.g. 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT, you have to add the OSSRH snapshot repository

   <profiles>
     <profile>
        <id>allow-snapshots</id>
           <activation><activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault></activation>
        <repositories>
          <repository>
            <id>snapshots-repo</id>
            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
            <releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
            <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
          </repository>
        </repositories>
      </profile>
   </profiles>

3. Via Cloning: (Eclipse) Clone the project via git clone https://github.com/mob41/broadlink-java-api.git or via the download ZIP and extract the ZIP to a folder.

   And add the project into your Eclipse IDE by right clicking the Package Explorer, and, Import... -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects

   Select the folder you cloned/downloaded broadlink-java-api to. And select the pom.xml inside.

   The project should be added. And the following you have to do is add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.mob41.blapi</groupId>
        <artifactId>broadlink-java-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.1</version>
    </dependency>

1. Import necessary libraries

   import com.github.mob41.blapi.BLDevice;
   import com.github.mob41.blapi.RM2Device; //Necessary if using <code>2.ii</code>
   import com.github.mob41.blapi.mac.Mac; //Necessary if using <code>2.ii</code>

2. Creating/Discovering BLDevice instances by two methods:

   //
   // === Method 1. By Discovering Devices In Local Network ===
   //
   
   BLDevice[] devs = BLDevice.discoverDevices(); //Default with 10000 ms (10 sec) timeout, search for multiple devices
   
   //BLDevice[] devs = BLDevice.discoverDevices(0); //No timeout will block the thread and search for one device only
   //BLDevice[] devs = BLDevice.discoverDevices(5000); //With 5000 ms (5 sec) timeout
   
   //The BLDevice[] array stores the found devices in the local network
   
   System.out.println("Number of devices: " + devs.length);
   
   BLDevice blDevice = null;
   for (BLDevice dev : devs){
       System.out.println("Type: " + Integer.toHexString(dev.getDeviceType()) + " Host: " + dev.getHost() + " Mac: " + dev.getMac());
   }
   
   //BLDevice dev = devs[0]
   
   //
   // === Method 2. Create a "RM2Device" or another "BLDevice" child according to your device type ===
   //
   
   BLDevice dev = new RM2Device("192.168.1.123", new Mac("01:12:23:34:43:320"));
   //~do stuff
   //dev.auth();

3. Before any commands like getTemp() and enterLearning(), BLDevice.auth() must be ran to connect and authenticate with the Broadlink device.

   boolean success = dev.auth();
   System.out.println("Auth status: " + (success ? "Success!" : "Failed!"));

4. Every BLDevice has its very own methods. Please refer to their own source code in the repository (as the main documentation still not completed...). Here's an example:

   if (dev instanceof RM2Device){
   	RM2Device rm2 = (RM2Device) dev;
   	
   	boolean success = rm2.enterLearning();
   	System.out.println("Enter Learning status: " + (success ? "Success!" : "Failed!"));
   	
   	float temp = rm2.getTemp();
   	System.out.println("Current temperature reported from RM2: " + temp + " degrees");
   } else {
   	System.out.println("The \"dev\" is not a RM2Device instance.");
   }
