| Broadlink plugin | Works | Recommended use case for Homebridge with IR devicesSaved copyBroadlink mini blasters. RM3? windows 10 virtual machine running homeBridge. Edit: I only added the last piece in case you had a machine always on etc or didn’t want to go the Linux route. I happen to need to have an always on windows 10 machine for other stuff - Linux and docker and blah blah Mac I’ve installed on all.

| Homebridge Broadlink plugin | Works | Recommended to expose many IR devices and older TV power controlSaved copyI second this one. Http switches & dummy switches too. You can also get a cheap IR device like a broadlink rm3 and expose as many IR devices as you want. Older internet-connected TVs can be bridged in for at least power control as well. Have fun!

Broadlink RMhomebridge-broadlink-rm-pro | Not working | Never connected to Eero network; temperature needs RM4 with sensor cableSaved copyThe device doesn't like my Eero network. Disabling 5GhZ, various restarts, and other troubleshooting steps never worked. I don't know about setting it up with the air conditioner because I never got that far. I do know that emulating the button presses using this device would be tricky, because getting the air conditioner set how I want isn't easy.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
