Got this to automate my fan control and I love it
Pros:- Easy to setup- Easy-to-learn buttons- The best device to automate control of your devices you constantly lose remotes for. In my case, I have a ceiling fan and fireplace, and I keep adding them.Cons:- Not exactly related to this device, it’s more about IR. But signal is not great. I put it on the corner where ir of Fireplace and it works, I move it 5 cm into other direction, it doesn’t work. You have to approach strategically location of your broadlink.

1+ Year Review, Still Loving it! ðð¤©
Amazingly, I bought this little device over 1 year ago. It has been continuously plugged-in & working flawlessly ever since! I literally use it daily with Alexa voice commands to control multiple devices around the house. I control my TV; ceiling fan; mini-split AC Unit; and a bunch of cheap IR outlet plugs that I have connected around the house. At first, the phone App used to be clunky and weird-looking, but now it feels and looks more polished. However, I rarely use the app since I have all devices controlled by voice or automated routines.This little device connects via WiFi and can basically learn the signals of any RF or IR remote controls. You point the remote to the Broadlink and it learns it. So I bought a pack of dirt cheap IR outlet plugs here on Amazon. I made several appliances smart and able to be controlled with voice commands or automated routines. This now includes my printer; paper-shredder; power outlet next to my bed (to avoid overcharging my phone at night); LED lights strips behind TV; and high capacity external HDD connected to my main computer. The benefit of using IR plugs versus WiFi plugs; is that WiFi constantly consumes data and bandwidth frequencies on your WiFi Router. Which leads to slowing down your WiFi. Also the more WiFi devices you have the more potential security holes you have in your home network for hackers. Thus, this device helps solve these problems. The cheap IR plugs help turn any dumb devices to smart devices. I believe Broadlink also has their own brand of smart outlets but I have not used those.The pro version that comes with an indoor temperature and humidity sensor cable (pic attached) costs a bit more. However, it is totally worth it since you can use it to set up automated routines to turn on/off your AC unit or dehumidifier once your indoor temperature or humidity reaches a certain level.The only 2 inconveniences about this device are; (1) device does not come with wall USB-A wall power brick, you have to provide your own; (2) that the âsensor cableâ (which also powers this device) is way too short. I guess optionally you could get a USB extender cable if necessary. Just wish it had been a little bit longer. I just connected my Broadlink next to my nightstand since it is closest to my bed in order to get the best temperature reading for when I sleep. Also comes with optional wall mounting attachment. I definitely recommend this device. Well worth it for its versatility of multiple uses and longevity.

Nice and Economical Way to Make IR and RF Device Integrate with Smart Home Assistants
I have the RM4Pro now controlling 8 banks of lights (14 sockets) that were previously just controlled with a 433.29 [Mhz] BN-Link remote and 315 [MHz] Westek RF remote. The RM4Pro is also controlling my Sony receiver, Samsung TV, and Samsung DVD player. The IR signal strength is very good, and works in the same room from about 25 feet away and through a metal grate in the cabinet doors. The RF signal strength is also very good, and I control sockets in cabinets and on different floors of my house. The RM4 Pro is very stable on the WiFi network and I have never had it drop or not be found.However, the Broadlink app is not more convenient than a physical remote control, and is less well laid out, and has less button mapping, than the apps that come with my receiver, DVD, Lights, etc. The real improvement is the ultimate goal of controlling the RM4Pro with my smart home assistant. I use G—-e H–m Assistant (“GHA”), one of the two Alexa competitors. And this works pretty well. The switches have to be set up as “bulb” in Broadlink, or GHA won’t recognize them. The control with GHA for the receiver/DVD is basic: on and off. But I really only wanted to control the lights, and the other device on-off control is really âgravy.â If you want to control more, like volume, changing source, etc., you should use the Broadlink app, physical remote, app that came with the device, or set up scenes in Broadlink (then you have to use the “activate scene” terminology in GHA).Con: I accidentally included sub-devices, temperature and humidity, when setting up the RM4Pro, and I cannot find a way to remove them without starting all over. Given how long it took to learn all the remotes and buttons, I actually ordered the sensor cable so that they will be functional rather than have to set everything up again. The sensor and humidity are interesting, in that they confirm my thermostat readings and are more precise (to two decimal points).Note: The RM4Pro cannot control Bluetooth controlled devices, like a PS4 or FireTV; but they do not advertise that they do, and could not do so without cooperation from the manufacturers anyway.Con: If you have a 5 [MHz] and 2.4 [MHz] WiFi broadcasting the same SSID, you have to disable the 5 [MHz] when setting up, or the device won’t connect.Con: I had some trouble getting the RM4 Pro to connect to my WiFi LAN. I tried about 7 times, and, after the Broadlink app connected to the device, it just kept failing when trying to send the SSID and password to the device. I tried in AP mode and smart mode. I unplugged it and re-plugged it several times, and one time and it finally worked. Be persistent and keep resetting the device. Once set up though, it has been rock-solid.Con: This device does not come with a USB power supply. You must supply a USB micro that can put out at least 1 amp. I tried an old supply that put out 0.7 amps, and the device was flaky with this underpowered power supply.Overall, this Broadlink device paired with RF/IR is a much cheaper way to get smart on-off control than buying lots of smart lamp sockets individually. Iâm already paying a significant amount to control overhead lights with Lutronâs Caseta hub system as I slowly replace switches for $150 a pop as I get the version with the built-in preset and matching Pico remote and pedestal.Conclusion: I’m actually very happy the RM4 Pro solution the more I use it. Now I am going to buy some of the RM4 Pro’s little brothers, the IR-only remotes, to hit some IR fans in other rooms. Looking at some information on-line, it looks like I’ll get the on-off functionality with GHM easily, and will have to use Broadlink’s scenes for oscillate, speed, etc.2021.06.10 update: Con – No Ethernet over USB support, so must use WiFi.

Absolutely Amazing
I’ve been looking for a device like this for about 3 months. I finally found it and it is incredible. I’m relatively new to smart home integration and automation so when I first started buying devices I definitely made some mistakes. One of those being buying things that aren’t smart and having an I’ll figure it out later mentality. Whoops lol. This device took away the headaches of fully replacing lights, short range radio devices, and ir devices that aren’t smart. Relatively simple process to install, sync up to your devices, then add to your smart home hub. I love it & I’m going to buy 2 more for my home to make some ac’s smart…. Love it!

I bought this to automate a projection screen. The one I bought was not directly supported. However, I was able to use an existing window blind configuration and relearn the codes from my RF remote. Using an existing device is key if you want to integrate it to Alexa. Then, using Alexa integration, I was able to use voice commands to drop the screen to watch movies. Works well.

Produto entrega o que promete. Comprei para usar junto com Google Home e Alexa para ligar e desligar ventiladores Arno Ultimate através do comando de voz, já que esses ventiladores utilizam controles com rádio frequência.
Ãrün hasarlı geldi. Aynı ürünü tekrar gönderilmesini istiyorum. Elimdeki artık çöp oldu. –
Gayet baÅarılı bir ürün. Son yıllarda bu kadar iÅlevsel ve kullanıcı dostu bir ürün almamıÅtım. Åiddetle tavsiye ediyorum.

Lo compré para controlar y programar un ventilador de techo que sólo tiene temporizador para 2 horas en el mando, aunque sin estar seguro de si me iba a funcionar. Y funciona genial, ahora puedo programar el apagado a cualquier hora o incluso que se apague según la temperatura exterior o del propio sensor que trae.La configuración no es muy sencilla, aunque una vez que se le pilla el truco se hace bastante rápido (consiste en ir copiando uno a uno los botones que queramos del mando).Además, en vista de que funcionaba bien con mi ventilador (marca Sulion) también he añadido el ventilador de techo de la habitación del niño (marca arte confort) e incluso los mandos de las puertas del garaje del edificio (vivo en un tercero y las puertas están a unos 100m pero funciona) y el mando IR de la tele para poder encenderla con la voz.
