Context

The Broadlink RM Max is the successor to the RM4 Pro, featuring IR and RF 433MHz capabilities. It is currently not recognized by the library, reporting as "Unsupported device: 0xAF8B" in Home Assistant.

This is a highly requested addition — see #829 with 20+ community members requesting support.

Proposed change

Add device type 0xAF8B to the rm4pro class mapping. The RM Max uses the same protocol as the RM4 Pro (confirmed by testing IR learning and sending on a physical device).

Type of change

  • New product id (the device is already supported with a different id)

Additional information

Checklist

  • The code change is tested and works locally.
  • The code has been formatted using Black.
  • The code follows the Zen of Python.
  • I am creating the Pull Request against the correct branch.
  • Documentation added/updated.

The RM Max is the successor to the RM4 Pro with IR and RF 433MHz
capabilities. Map its device type to the rm4pro class.

Closes mjg59#829
