+This `Broadlink` switch platform allow to you control Broadlink RM2 Pro and RM mini IR+RF [devices](http://www.ibroadlink.com/rm/).
+
+To enable it, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+switch:
+  platform: broadlink
+  host: IP_ADDRESS
+  mac: 'MAC_ADDRESS'
+  switches:
+    reciever:
+      command_on: 'switch_packet on'
+      command_off: 'switch_packet off'
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+- **host** (*Required*): The hostname/IP address to connect to.
+- **mac** (*Required*):  Device mac address.
+- **switches** (*Required*): The array that contains all switches.
+  - **identifier** (*Required*): Name of the command switch as slug. Multiple entries are possible.
+    - **command_on** (*Required*): Base64 encoded packet from RM device to take for on.
+    - **command_off** (*Required*): Base64 encoded packet from RM device to take for off.
+    - **optimistic** (*Optional*): Default true: Flag that defines if switch works in optimistic mode. 
+    - **friendly_name** (*Optional*): The name used to display the switch in the frontend.
+
+
+How to obtain IR/RF packet while in learning mode?
+
+Run: hass --script broadlink --ip `YOUR_DEVICE_IP` --mac `YOUR_DEVICE_MAC`
+
+If the orange LED is on point the remote to device and press the matching button on remote.
+If the orange LED is off it means the learning is successful and packet will be printed on console.
+Then you can copy and paste this packet.
