# BroadSniff

> BroadSniff is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 100 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 21, 2026.

From the [repository description](https://github.com/DAB-LABS/BroadSniff):

> Capture IR codes with your Broadlink remote into Home Assistant IR.

[Open in My Home Assistant](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/marketplace_repository/?owner=DAB-LABS&repository=BroadSniff&category=integration)

On Home Assistant 2026.10 or older? [Open it in HACS](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=DAB-LABS&repository=BroadSniff&category=integration)

## Supports

- **Works locally**: Talks to your devices on your own network. No vendor cloud in between.
- **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS.
- **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months.

## Setting it up

Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services.

### After setup

- **Remotes to leave out**: These remotes get no capture entities.

Texts from the code of [DAB-LABS/BroadSniff](https://github.com/DAB-LABS/BroadSniff).

## Entities

- **Events**: IR capture, RF capture
- **infrared**: IR receiver
- **Numbers**: Capture window, RF custom frequency
- **Selects**: Capture mode, RF frequency
- **Sensors**: Codes captured
- **Switches**: IR capture, RF capture

## From the README

> BroadSniff lets Home Assistant hear what your Broadlink universal remote hears. Turn on capture, point any IR or RF remote at your Broadlink RM, press buttons, and BroadSniff hands you each code: ready to send back, to trigger automations, or to pass to HAIR and anything else that listens on Home Assistant's infrared platform.
>
> It is a small custom integration that works alongside Home Assistant's built-in Broadlink integration. Your remotes stay set up there; BroadSniff only adds capture.
