Hey there @Danielhiversen, @felipediel, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with an integration (broadlink) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

I had a similar problem with Broadlink 4 Mini and core 2021.3.1 and 2021.3.2
The broadlink is missing same command coming from HA. I have a sequence of command to switch on an heater and I'm always missing one or two
Back to core.2021.2.3 and it's ok.
I'm using Broadlink integration updated to last version.
I didn't find any info in the logs

@Arvics You forgot to re-patch your installation after updating Home Assistant.

@robi59italy We didn't change the Broadlink integration this year. Try to reposition the remote. If it doesn't work, relearn the codes with the alternative: True flag to improve the response rate.

I think it's not a problem of broadlink integration but coming from core assistant.... going back to old version solved everything.

I will try again to install 2021.3.3 and we will see

@felipediel I apologize - I don't understand your comment. I'm not so good with programming .... Would you please explain more in details what I should do?

You used a patch to temporarily add support for your device while waiting for the release, right? When you update Home Assistant you need to patch your installation again. It's like a new installation, the patch is not persistent.

1. Open Home Assistant and install "SSH & Web Terminal" add-on
2. Disable Protection mode
3. Click "Terminal" on the sidebar and install the patch. You can take my master branch for now:

docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash
pip3 install git+https://github.com/felipediel/python-broadlink.git --force-reinstall --no-deps

4. Restart the server.
