In case it’s helpful to someone, if you want to use Home Assistant 0.94 or 0.95 and be able to use the MP1 without needing to change your configuration, you can try this:

Create a “broadlink” folder inside “config\custom_components”
Download all the files of the broadlink component of the 0.93.2 version: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/tree/0.93.2/homeassistant/components/broadlink
Copy the downloaded files inside the newly created “config\custom_components\broadlink” folder
Reboot Home Assistant

Seem that non of the devlepors is looking on this issue since it closed. So, I opened new issue #25297. Hope it will help.

Is there a way to reopen an issue? This has been broken for 2 releases now.

Have you tested this fix: #24450 ? below workaround fixes the issue, But looking a native support for boardlink. Also, this fix takes 10mins for hassio to reboot. https://github.com/af950833/Home-Assistant-Broadlink-MP1-Custom-Component/tree/master/custom_components/broadlink_mp1

I fixed the long booting time issue. You can fix it with “requirements”: [“broadlink==0.10.0”] at the manifest.json https://github.com/af950833/Home-Assistant-Broadlink-MP1-Custom-Component/commit/ad29b9ef358d4ab8347cbce33475b85681dad085
