As mentioned in the title, despite hours of messing around with this unit and resetting and restarting I absolutely could not get this to integrate with Alexa. I was able to control devices remotely using the broad link app, but the devices would not show up under Alexa devices, which is why I bought this - for voice control. After all, what’s the point of using my phone as a remote control when I have the actual device remote control?!? The ONLY thing Alexa recognized was the temperature - but not the humidity. So the added skill in Alexa WAS working, however no controllable devices appeared. I saw in other reviews you have to use “scenes” to get this to work, I couldn’t find that option in Alexa - so it’s looks like that feature was removed. On the subject of “rolling code” RF devices: I’m sure you’re likewise asking yourself what that is, and more importantly how to know if a device uses them. Long story short there is no way to know (manufacturers don’t advertise this), but suffice it to say that if you have anything more advanced than cheap-o Christmas light remotes it probably has rolling code. This is not so much for security, but more to prevent the wrong remote from controlling a device. I bought this to control a dust collector remote in my wood shop, but it wouldn’t work due to rolling code. I’m honestly not sure why the manufacturer hasn’t implemented rolling code, it is very common. In fact most devices that have a button to “link” the remote is a rolling code learning feature. If you do link this up, and the device only turns on or off once using the app it is using rolling code. I also tried linking this to a remote outdoor switched outlet (Christmas light control) and it would only turn the device on, not off. I really wanted this to work, but without getting the Alexa component to integrate it is a rather useless brick, and an expensive one at that. I can confirm that this unit was a dual RF frequency unit, tested it with remotes on 315MHz and 433MHz bands. Usually the remote lists a frequency, but if not, the app can “search” for the frequency which is a really cool feature. This device is **almost** there, but Alexa not working is a deal breaker, that’s what I bought it for

Where has this product been all my AV life. Long are we pushed to products that are okay, but largely too expensive to consider truly. I have used a lot to make my home theater a bit more easy to work with and use daily, but this little low cost item is one of the few ah ha moments I have been suggested by a friend. I thought the only real considerations were Harmony in this segment, and dont get me wrong, I like those, but for simplicity sake and such a low cost, this cant be beat. Paired with my Roku Ultra, Viewsonic 4K 150 Inch Projector, Yamaha RX-V685, and surround speaker setup. Loved it, considering more to help with remote and home automation.

This device is awesome. I wanted to integrate an entertainment system with Alexa. This device bridges that gap. It operates everything I need. Xbox, TV, Amplifier, everything turns on, scrolls through menus, adjusts settings. I am pleased and can recommend this. It does take a little effort to learn and setup, but once its set, its a solid smart home improvement.

This is the only option in the market and it works, makes any applices with remote smart for cheap. Interface is very straight forward. I very like it, i bought it twice.

Works as described. I have all my tvs and anything with ir support connect to it. So I can Simple say, “Alexa, it’s Movie time” and it will active my screen for my projector and anything else I have set to that scene

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!

This doesnt work, wish I would have returned it immediately, now its too late after trying to get support on the product and all they said was try setting it up again. It basically works when you set it up, then its like it goes to sleep by the next morning and it wont wake up until you try it several times if you are lucky. Bought a Bond bridge and it works EVERY time. Also works with my ceiling fan and Broadlink NEVER worked with my ceiling fan. Save yourselves time and just go for the Bond bridge. Bonds support is far better as well and responds same day.

Very nice, I connect my device in living room with no problem at all, added my smart tv, air conditioner, fan, air purifier, very fast and linked it to my existing Google nest mini to using with speak assistant with no problem at all. I can use my google assistant to on-off, set temperature of my air conditional with no problem at all --> my air conditioner brand found in the library can fast to add it. I use my google assistant to on-off my fan --> because my fan not common brand so I use learn function to learn from my fan ir remote control with no problem at all. I use my google assistant to on-off my air purifier --> same as fan my air purifier is local OEM brand so I use learn function to learn the it remote control and add the devide to broadlink app with no problem, after add the device I also link it all to google assistant. I can use my google assistant to on-off my tv --> Same as my air conditioner, my tv is LG smart tv so added to broadlink device with no problem at all with the library data. Very satisfied with the result, actually can set condition in broadlink app for the devices but since I just set up today so will do it later. Actually before I tried the same product with other not famous brand same device, it can add my tv to the device and used with google assistant, but other devices only can add by learn the remote control but only can use my phone as remote, the learned function couldnt use in my speak assistant normally. Very disappointed. Then I decided purchase this Broadlink RM4 pro and try it, all function normal and link to speak assistant with all devices also operate with no problem by the speak assistant. And the temperature & humidity sensor also function with no problem in broadlink app, I can add it to my speak assistant but not yet know how to use it with speaking. ;D Thank you, very happy. Recommended the item.

Hasta el momento he conectado al equipo un abanico, aire acondicionado, tv, equipo de sonido y funcionan bien, solo que hasta ahora no he podido manejarlos por completo con Alexa, debido a que algunos comandos no los reconoce.

Update 27-Oct-20: Changing from 2 stars to 4 as the vendor has really spent time effort and communication with me showing real interest to increase compatibility and correct issues. Ive also learned a bit more about IR remote control - there are a lot of different protocols/techniques used and there is no standard. So its very challenging - probably impossible - to be 100% compatible with every IR device. Fortunately, one of the main things I want to be able to control with this looks like they will be able to get working! Update 19-Oct-20: Changing from 1 to 2 stars as the vendor has replied - so far not any fix. Read updates at bottom. Have wasted lot of time with this poorly engineered product, and the bottom line is: It WILL NOT connect to my TP-Link Archer A7 router (2.4ghz wireless). I have tried lots of things, including even disabling wireless security, changing the support for A/B/G/N, etc. The same thing happens every single time: this Broadlink device makes attempt to connect to the router, but it fails. I can see the Broadlink mac address as it connects to the router with 100% signal quality, and it shows in the wireless devices for a second or two, disappears, and will keep repeating the unsuccessful connection attempt. I have a spare older Netgear router, and in my troubleshooting set it up. This Broadlink will connect to it - but its not the router I want to use. So, is the problem the TP-Link or this Broadlink? I would have to say its the Broadlink because I have never had a problem connecting any wifi device to the TP-Link, including Amazon echo devices, Google home devices, smart plugs, smart thermostats, phones, notebook computers, etc., etc., etc. Extremely disappointed, but not entirely surprised as I look at other reviews. As I see it, theres something funky about the wifi setup/firmware on this device and it will work with some 2.4ghz routers, but definitely not all. So, even if it works for you, would you want a device that may not work in the future if you change/upgrade your router? UPDATE 1: Was ready to request RMA to send it back, and thought, well maybe I should at least see how it would work if it could connect to my network, so I hooked my old Netgear router up to the Internet, connected my phone and setup the Broadlink device. After it connected and finished the initial setup, it immediately downloaded from the internet new firmware. Aha. So, with that maybe it will connect to the router I actually use? I then put the TPLink back to the net and the Broadlink back to setup mode and..... It now connects to the TPLink router.... SO, we have a product that ships with bad firmware that prevents it from connecting to at least some routers/wifi, and the only way to fix it is to connect to a router/wifi and download new firmware! What really needs to happen is the vendor needs to re-flash these things before sending them out as new product.... UPDATE 2: After getting the hub on my network, started adding my remotes. No issue with TV, but had immediate issue with my set-top-box which is a Cisco ISB7150 - a cable box with DVR provided by Hawaiian Telcom for their cable provided by fiber using IP technology. I didnt find the remote listed by BroadLink, so tried to add it as custom. No matter what I tried, it would not learn a single button. Believe me, I tried and tried and tried. I have 2 remotes that can operate the stb - the one provided by Hawaiian Telcom (URC 2025B1-BB) and my old Logitech Harmony 650 which is perfectly able to learn any of the remote codes and is in the Logitech database. Almost ready to give up, I noticed a BroadLink database listing for: Iptv Cisco! (Under I not C). Well, that worked for the basic function of the stb, but none of the DVR-related keys are programmed, and many of the less-used set-top buttons as well are not there - with no success in getting BroadLink to learn any of them. I recd the product from Amazon on Sat. BroadLink support is 5x24 no Sat/Sun. But on Monday I did receive an email response from BroadLink to my problems. They acknowledge firmware update can resolve some compatibility issue with wifi (but thats catch-22 for most people as it requires connecting to a different router before it can be fixed and theres absolutely no mention of this potential issue anywhere). And, I was told they will change the database listing from Iptv Cisco to Cisco Iptv. And, I was asked more about the remote that cant be learned as if they are interested in addressing that. Will see what happens.... Finally, my ultimate goal is to use this with Alexa, and that does seem to work, but until I can get the STB remote functionality, its too limited to be useful.
