Home Assistant, in particular, resolves the “hot” issue by maintaining a persistent connection to the Broadlink device using periodic keep-alive packets. Here’s a quick Python script that avoids the GUI entirely. Save as send_code.py : Wait 30 seconds
If you have seen this message while trying to write or learn a command, you are not alone. This article dives deep into what this error means, why it happens, and exactly how to fix it.
