cannot connect to broadlink about broadlinkirtools

[dereklucas]

I had the same issue, and then I realized that broadlink needs to be set up as a switch for this tool to work. (I left mine set up as a remote too, but this tool communicates with the broadlink.learn service that comes from the switch configuration.)

switch:
  - platform: broadlink
    host: 192.168.10.10
    mac: '00:00:00:00:00:00'

hello with 0.115 and end integration of broadlink into homeassistant, broadlink.learn no longer exist

@keitetran Is there any fix for this?

I think unfortunately with it requiring an entity id and not an IP address it'll be a little complicated.

Maybe we can just keep assigning it to a single command and keep pulling it when it's updated.
I dunno, I'll wait for an update.
