BroadLink Wi-Fi Smart Remote Hub with Sensor Cable, IR RF All in One Automation Learning Universal Remote Control, With a Mini Smart Plug, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT （RM4proS+SP4M)

Just got it today, but this is perfect so far! I have a ton of different remotes for my theater room, with the drop down screen being RF and most of the devices hidden which makes IR a challenge. I was going to make an arduino control everything with ir and rf blaster, custom code, cloud integration to work with Alexa, etc. Would have taken forever. Instead, I found this little guy (nice and compact and sleek) which does all this for me with some simple setup. Watch the setup video btw, instructions arent great. I can say Alexa, show time and a routine triggers the lights off and a scene i created which turns on the projector, lowers the screen, sound system on, bluray player on, and selects Netflix. Alexa, Shows over and it all turns off, raises the screen, and lights back on. Pretty slick! Time will tell how it goes with any bugs or issues now.

Funciona bien, copia todas las señales infrarrojas y de radiofrecuencia, también se integra con Alexa más fácil que con Google el único pero, podría ser el idioma el cual puede funcionar mejor si tuviera todo con traducción aún así se puede usar muy intuitivamente

Its apparently not possible to set up this RM4 pro without internet access. The device creates a wifi network named Broadlink_WiFi_Device but when I connect to it, I cant find a web interface to continue the set up. It gives me an ip in the 192.168.10.0 range so Ive tried 192.168.10.1 but there is no web interface at that address. Ive also tried to set it up using the android app but I dont have internet access at this location where the RM4 is being set up. I only have a router without WAN access. Unfortunately the app wont work unless the device has WAN access. It also needs you to create an account, verify your email address, get your location info, get and maintain internet access. Its stupid and unnecessarily complicated. All I want to do is read an RF signal through Home Assistant. If they had a local setup web interface like all other IoT devices then it would be fine.

It did exactly what I wanted it to do, completely voice automate my man cave with Google. I did a lot of research and at first considered going with the logitech harmony hub but when I fount out it didnt work for rf I was disappointed. I kept looking and finally found this, it worked perfectly! Paired with all my devices and using ifttt I can make single phrase commands that do multiple tasks, I love it!

The hardware looks to be good but the app has a long way to go to make it user friendly. I got this to replace a universal remote for my Vizio TV and Yamaha Soundbar using IR, and also to control another device which uses RF. Overall the hardware works well as expected but it was extremely difficult to setup the app to work with my devices. The Vizio TV setup was okay using the search feature to match the brand, but it did not have all the functionality that my physical remote does. Additionally some of the buttons were incorrectly programmed. For example the number keys would send the wrong channel number e.g. pressing 4 would send #3 to the TV etc. So I had to use the learn mode to program the correct number keys. Many other standard functions were missing and I havent found a way to add buttons to teach it new functions. The Yamaha Soundbar was not available through the brand search. They had receivers and amplifiers but no soundbars. I could select a Yamaha amplifier to get the power and volume working, but once again I could not program/add buttons for other features of the soundbar e.g. sub-woofer volume, input selection, or changing sound modes. The RF device had to be manually programmed and it was not too difficult, but I would have liked the option to customize buttons with an appropriate graphic or an option to import my own graphic. Google, Alexa, and Siri integration is pretty basic. For example, I can ask Google to turn on the TV and Soundbar, but unable to change channels or volume through voice command. Siri via voice does not work for me, but I am able to use Shortcuts to add buttons that initiate pre-programed functions in the app. All in all, its able to handle the basic funtions I want but I would like more customization options in the app. I would say, if you like to tinker with gadgets and smart home devices, you may like the challenge, but I would not recommend this device for novice users who expect plug-and-play functionality from their devices.

I bought the IR/RF PRO unit to add functionality to my Google Home, specifically to control a Honeywell tower fan, a Sony Stereo, and my (RF 433Mhz controlled) kitchen blinds. The Broadlink app is good and worked well in some areas. First, if you dont have 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and only 5GHz Wi-Fi, this device will NOT work. The device needs 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi to connect. I had both in my home, so set it up on that. Two Wi-Fi modes to connect, but it connected. Once connected to Wi-Fi, with app installed, you add devices. App had groupings. I selected fans. They you can either learn IR buttons manually, or use preset codes from many available brands. I found Honeywell, none of 2 presets were compatible. So, easily added Power On (,Power Off), Speed, and Sweep (Oscillate) to pre designated buttons by learning from my remote. They all worked with the app. Sony Stereo, success with one of the Sony presets, but only On/Off, Mute, and Volume Up/Down. Couldnt change stereo modes, or tune channels. So, with JUST the App and fan control okay, stereo limited, but worked. The RF controller for my blinds didnt work at all. I called Broadlink tech support and they said it wasnt compatible with what I had, despite me having the 433MHz RF remote for my blinds to learn from. Specically they said, BroadLink devices do not support motorized or rolling codes. With rolling codes, the remote and the receiver each generate code in a specific order. Every time the remote is used, it generates a new code that is encrypted. BroadLink devices do not offer support to encrypted appliances. I then added the Broadlink device to Google Home. That worked easily. It detected my fan and Stereo, then I assigned them to my Living Room in hopes all functions would work. NOPE! The only Fan control provided was for on/off but no control of fan speed, or fan sweep/oscillate. The Stereo(/Amplifier) didnt load at all, even after unlinking/relinking Broadlink device, and reseting everything as recommended by Broadlink. Summary; stand alone app okay to control IR devices (but limited function), poor integration and loss of device control with Google Home, and RF functionality (for me) wasnt compatible with my blinds, and not sure whose blinds would be.

This BroadLink RM4 Pro S is my new favorite gadget. It works flawlessly with Alexa. My only issue is that it will not read other Dish Network remote codes. They have several built-in and it provides more than basic functionality, but I would like to be able to add in more from the Dish remote. All other remotes including fans both IR and RF work perfectly.

We set up the Christmas lights for our entire house with Etekcity RF-type remote controls and I didnt want to have to buy 16 WiFi Smartplugs to get them to work by voice command. This device, after a quick, easy setup connected to all the remotes and I can now control all of them with Alexa. I also got it to activate my remote fireplace. This was one of the best technology purchases Ive ever made!

Originally i had issues getting anything to work. It just took me to a screen that looks like a Remote, but it is not connected to anything and I had no buttons anywhere to connected to anything. Anyway, somehow i got out of that loop and connected my projector. Learning each button took a minute but was fairly painless. I wanted a scene with that and my roku, but the roku is not supported in scenes. The next device I wanted to integrate with is RF. The manufacturer of the device couldn’t tell me anything about the frequency at which it operates, so I took a gamble purchasing this Broadcom unit. Unfortunately it does not seem to work. So basically I can control my projector from my phone. It was very easy to integrated with Siri, which is nice.

I bought this product to remotely control a TV and possibly some other devices for a handicapped person. Heres what I found: 1) it works over the same wifi network to provide a local wifi remote for a Roku TV. Great. But one cant use that remote over the internet. This is of course possible, the Alex Roku skill will control the TV from anywhere as long as there is an Alexa set up on the local wifi network. I can for example tell Alexa in my house to turn on the TV in the other persons house, set the input, etc. The Broadlink device clearly CAN communicate over the internet since I can use it remotely to control IR devices in the other house. However I suspect that the RM4 doesnt actually do wifi remotes, that is a function of the app. 2) When setting up IR remotes, NONE of the devices I had were pre configured. So 100% not matched despite the claim of 95% match. 3) The RM4 didnt come with a USB power adapter. Obviously one is likely to want to plug it into a power source. 4) It didnt work with the XFinity remote. Seems like a frequency issue. The particular frequency of that remote is not supported. For my use case Alexa worked and this didnt. Also Comcast has an app that works remotely (over the internet) to control the Xfinity box. Too bad I dont have some automated curtains I need to control. The only thing Im using this for now is to monitor temperature. In Celsius.
