Got my Broadlink pro some days ago, the installation process was very easy, I have included all RF/IR devices in my house. The integration with Alexa is very nice too, you can create specific scenes then include these into Akexas routines. Being able to integrate non-smart devices along with smart devices, and create scenes/ambients with these is magic! Very recommend product.

Product has worked for majority of what I wanted it for. It says doesn’t work 5GHz and mesh wifi but I have the google nest mesh, the router and 1 access point. BroadLink pro recognizes my network and connected to it no problem. In google app I do see it is connected to 2.4GHz. I had a feeling it would work fine because other smart devices say the same but connected fine. I didn’t have to do anything special with my router or phone to make sure it connected to 2.4GHz. As for the remote part. It recognizes a roku tv I have on my wifi network automatically and is in app without programming it and has all the functions the roku app remote offers. As for other things like a space heater by twin star it doesn’t have as a model but I’m able to program each button press and assign it to a button but button names aren’t accurate and u can’t rename a button which I think is a big miss seeing how if they let u add remotes not in their database that they prob aren’t gonna have the same name buttons. I have a shark air purifier which is a big name brand and shark was not listed in their database and had to manually assign buttons to their generic app remote and didn’t have proper name buttons to match and once again a renaming button feature should be available. The range for the remote to work isn’t that great but maybe it’s cause the remote is one that has to be aimed at the appliance. I did unplug it for a day or so and nothing was saved except my wifi name and was able to auto put in password for it. I’m using iPhone 13 pro max

I wish that this covered a wider range of RF frequencies – both devices that I tried to add were not compatible as a result.

works perfect, i connected it with my alexa and program it to control my tv and sound bar. so i can tell alexa to turn them on, off, change channel, change input one by one but it works just alot of repeating, and change volume. built quality is good. pretty small size over all and has a hanging kit. would recommend, only had for a few month so just got to wait and see how long it will last. also doesnt come with a box to plug the usb cable to, you can probably use an old one from a cell phone or something else.

Installed easily enough, controls my TV and integrated with Alexa. My only grip is with the instructions. They are printed in a 0.2 font, using a gray color. Impossible to read and near impossible to photograph. I went to the company website and that was no better. Hey! Not everyone has superhuman vision. How about making instructions for normal people??

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

I returned mine because I was missing my return window with Amazon... its not there yet. I had issues with my smart shades after the Shade Store decided to remove the app from the Play Store for their first gen hubs. I was able to control the shades and it automatically discovered up or raising of the shades but not lowering them. Another issue I had was with my X-finity receiver. It discovered the receiver correctly (you have multiple templates to choose from) and I chose the one that had everything including the channel numbers but were greyed out. The channel numbers which were grayed out indicating that they may or may not work and recommendation is to manually add them. The funny thing is, manual adding failed for the greyed out channel numbers worked perfectly! I could not use the greyed out numbers through Alexa etc.

Does not keep its settings and loses connection constantly to WiFi. using the app youll notice it takes a while for the device to ping back to life in which time it will show disconnected. Waiting to turn you lights or fan on for minutes is unacceptable. SoNoff and Shelly was the way i decided to go after the hassle

Really useful for controlling non-smart devices. I use it for my soundbar, TV, HDMI switch, etc. The RF control is also a huge plus; I have a plug controlled by an RF remote, and within a couple minutes, I could control it with my phone, effectively making it a smart plug. I was also surprised how well it worked at different angles; it still managed to control my TV despite being on the opposite side of the IR sensor and being partially blocked by the soundbar. Had to take off a star for the app forcing you to use an account, even just getting the device to connect to WiFi for local control. I use Home Assistant to control this, and according to the guide for the HA Broadlink integration, you have to quit the app when it asks you to assign it to a room, as doing so will disable local control. This is very counter-intuitive for people who just want to use the device locally. Although I didnt have an issue connecting this to a dual-band router as others have, it is a bit odd that Broadlink chose not to support 5GHz, since the standard has been around for over a decade. However, for those that are having trouble, here are a couple tips: - You can probably disable 5GHz on your router temporarily. On many brands, you can do this by changing WiFi mode from 802.11b/g/n/ac to 802.11b/g (or b/g/n) or something similar. - As long as your network also supports 2.4GHz, you can always go old-tech and just move out of range of the 5GHz signal.

There a lot of things that Alexa or Google can do but adding this device extends their ability to control the IR (TV remotes etc) and the RF (radio frequency devices) that you have had in your home for years. It allows you to control these devices via voice and does so reliability and easily. I have been more than impressed by this device. As a note for RF, make the unit you are buying supports both 315MHz & 433MHz.
