   I think this is a great solution. The Broadlink app finds all my RF codes almost instantly, but using Home Assistant or Broadlink Manager (both using this project under the hood), the sweep frequency learning is very unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and most times it takes holding the button 10-20 times before it picks up anything.

   Was surprised to see this is not a feature. Is it supported by the broadlink device? Do we just need to add it to this library?

   Edit: Looks like the find_rf_packet signature supports it, after all. I will try it out.

   python-broadlink/broadlink/remote.py

   Lines 98 to 103 in 730853e

   	def find_rf_packet(self, frequency: Optional[float] = None) -> None:
   	"""Enter radiofrequency learning mode."""
   	payload = bytearray()
   	if frequency:
   	payload += struct.pack("<I", int(frequency * 1000))
   	self._send(0x1B, payload)

   Calling device.find_rf_packet(315.0) worked great for me with a 315MHz fireplace remote.
