Remotes

Turn remotes on and off, send commands, and learn or delete commands.

remote has turn-on (on), turn-off (off) and toggle (t). turn-on takes --activity, one of the remote’s activity_list:

ha-bridge remote turn-on living_room --activity "Watch TV"
ha-bridge remote turn-off living_room

Sending commands

send-command sends one or more commands in order, each with --command. --remote-device picks the device they’re for, as the remote’s integration names it:

ha-bridge remote send-command living_room --command power
ha-bridge remote send-command living_room --command volume_up --command volume_up --remote-device tv
ha-bridge remote send-command living_room --command volume_up --num-repeats 5 --delay-secs 0.2
Flag Value
--num-repeats Times to repeat the commands (default: 1)
--delay-secs Seconds between commands (default: 0.4)
--hold-secs Seconds to hold each command (default: 0)

Learning and deleting commands

learn-command waits for you to press buttons on the physical remote and saves them under the names you give. delete-command removes them:

ha-bridge remote learn-command living_room --command power --remote-device tv --command-type ir
ha-bridge remote delete-command living_room --command power --remote-device tv

learn-command also takes --alternative, to save a second code for a command, and --timeout in seconds.

Command Home Assistant action
remote turn-on remote.turn_on
remote turn-off remote.turn_off
remote toggle remote.toggle
remote send-command remote.send_command
remote learn-command remote.learn_command
remote delete-command remote.delete_command

See ha-bridge remote for every argument and flag.
