@ABDULLAH258 - not sure about this at all, and not sure if your using this code.

 

But when i read at github @Phenix (your code i think?)

This looks important.

 

- Did the naming of the device change ?

- Did you lock the device in the mobile APP?

 

 

Yes I am using 10der code I didn't change the name of it but I unlock The device

Hi @ppeterr not my code done by 10der

@Phenix Thank you for that 

Ok I will reconnect it to the ethernet again 

I was Trying to edit the code to bypass the part of eth0 i did it but give me another error in (upvalue of myIP) and it keep going with this every time I put condition to bypass error it give me another error.

connected to ethernet again will be easier thank you.

The error tells me that the code doesnt recieve a IP from an ethernet port.

So, i hope you can fix this by putting back the ethernet converter, and use that

instead of wifi.

So, when i look at the video, posted above.

It states "you need to be connected to ethernet". So maybe put back that ethernet converter back?

@ppeterr Ok Thank you for your answer I will do this now

Yes the code does not work when connected to wifi, you also did not tell us that you changed the code- so would be helpful to tell us the full story at the start to better diagnose the issue.

 

suggest you restore the code and connect to Ethernet to see if it solves the issue - let us know how you get on?

@Phenix I reconnect to the ethernet remove the QA which I modify and reinstall it as native and it directly read my rm4 then I reconfigure my Quick apps working with rm4 and all restore to normal.

@ABDULLAH258

 

Is there a reason why you want it to work with wifi ?

I would always recomend using ethernet.

I connect my HC3 always to ethernet but It was easier for HC3 lite to connect it through wifi but now I will connect it always to ethernet.

Thank you for your help.?

@Phenix thanks for the QA & Config file. I've managed to get them both up and running (trying to connect a series of ceiling fans), but when I try to learn using the RM4 Pro (on Ethernet) it doesn't pick up anything and then returns FAILED!.

 

Would this be because I have the devices already set-up on the Broadlink app?

It appears some are having a problem with RF - have you tried to learn the RF code with Broadlink Manager as per video below?

 

 

[ABDULLAH258 4]

Hello @Phenix I always have the same problem with BroadLink manager. 

it never read my BroadLink I already setup virtual machine with Linux and working with docker to learn from browser in Linux.

I just want to know if there is any solution for my problem when I press scan it gives me that in picture.

@ABDULLAH258currently on vacation- will reply soon

Good afternoon! I bought an RS4 Pro and also can't run QA. When you click the Discover button, an error appears: "Error: discovery msg - incorrect size"

 

And when you try to scan the device in the Broadlink Manager program, an error also comes out: "Writing compatible device not detected!"

 

 

Firmware version RM4 Pro:  V62093

 

Do you have any suggestions in which direction to look: how to find and fix the error?

Dear ABDULLAH258@, have you been able to solve your similar problem?

[brv29a 0]

HC3 is connected via Ethernet (Wi-fi is off)
The lock button is disabled in the Broadlink app

[Phenix 17]

Looking at some online forums, did you try to deactivate firewall and antivirus software? run in administrator mode?

The "learn" function seems to be missing in the Broadlink HUB FQA available for download here. Is the FQA with that function downloadable somewhere? Thank you very much for your answer  .

The returned code is already hex, so it doesn't has to be base64 decoded and converted to hex before sending.

@brv29a you need to downgrade RM 4pro firmware from v62093 to v62092. it worked for me.
