+Python control for Broadlink RM2, RM3 and RM4 series controllers
+===============================================
+
+A simple Python API for controlling IR/RF controllers from [Broadlink](http://www.ibroadlink.com/rm/). At present, the following devices are currently supported:
+
+* RM Pro (referred to as RM2 in the codebase)
+* A1 sensor platform devices are supported
+* RM3 mini IR blaster
+* RM4 and RM4C mini blasters
+
+There is currently no support for the cloud API.
+
+Example use
+-----------
+
+Setup a new device on your local wireless network:
+
+1. Put the device into AP Mode
+  1. Long press the reset button until the blue LED is blinking quickly.
+  2. Long press again until blue LED is blinking slowly.
+  3. Manually connect to the WiFi SSID named BroadlinkProv.
+2. Run setup() and provide your ssid, network password (if secured), and set the security mode
+  1. Security mode options are (0 = none, 1 = WEP, 2 = WPA1, 3 = WPA2, 4 = WPA1/2)
+```
+import broadlink
+
+broadlink.setup('myssid', 'mynetworkpass', 3)
+```
+
+Discover available devices on the local network:
+```
+import broadlink
+
+devices = broadlink.discover(timeout=5)
+```
+
+Obtain the authentication key required for further communication:
+```
+devices[0].auth()
+```
+
+Enter learning mode:
+```
+devices[0].enter_learning()
+```
+
+Sweep RF frequencies:
+```
+devices[0].sweep_frequency()
+```
+
+Cancel sweep RF frequencies:
+```
+devices[0].cancel_sweep_frequency()
+```
+Check whether a frequency has been found:
+```
+found = devices[0].check_frequency()
+```
+(This will return True if the RM has locked onto a frequency, False otherwise)
+
+Attempt to learn an RF packet:
+```
+found = devices[0].find_rf_packet()
+```
+(This will return True if a packet has been found, False otherwise)
+
+Obtain an IR or RF packet while in learning mode:
+```
+ir_packet = devices[0].check_data()
+```
+(This will return None if the device does not have a packet to return)
+
+Send an IR or RF packet:
+```
+devices[0].send_data(ir_packet)
+```
+
+Obtain temperature data from an RM2:
+```
+devices[0].check_temperature()
+```
+
+Obtain sensor data from an A1:
+```
+data = devices[0].check_sensors()
+```
+
+Set power state on a SmartPlug SP2/SP3:
+```
+devices[0].set_power(True)
+```
+
+Check power state on a SmartPlug:
+```
+state = devices[0].check_power()
+```
+
+Check energy consumption on a SmartPlug:
+```
+state = devices[0].get_energy()
+```
+
+Set power state for S1 on a SmartPowerStrip MP1:
+```
+devices[0].set_power(1, True)
+```
+
+Check power state on a SmartPowerStrip:
+```
+state = devices[0].check_power()
+```
