> 24 hourworks 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.

> 24 hourUpdate: It was not an IR remote. I think I got a defective one because everything is working fine, but it wont learn my remote buttons. Its on the wifi, the app has all the features, its connected to Alexa, but when I go to learn buttons it wont do it. The indicator flashes, everything does what the instructions say, and nothing.... its as if it cant recieve remote signals. Meanwhile my appliance is going nuts because Im hitting the remote so many times (So my remote definitely works) .... disappointed with this product...

> 24 hourI am surprised at the lack of documentation and/or a detailed step-by-step setup guide. The guide that comes with the unit is confusing and almost useless. I am a career techie, and it took me way too long to figure out how to get the thing up and running. I have been able to configure both of my brand-name TVs to work with the controller. I have brand-name sound bars on both of those TVs and cannot get the controller to work with either of them after 3-4 days of tinkering. So, Ive given it a rest. I found no help or detailed documentation on the Internet to get either one of the sound bars configured. Learning codes instructions just has not worked. I am good with the way the controller works with the TVs. Once the TVs were configured, integrating the features with Alexa was straight ahead... Especially for people who have configured Alexa skills previously. If/when I can get either one of the sound bars to work, I will give this unit another star.

> 24 hourToo bad zero stars is not an option. I tried this product a couple of years ago with success. It doesnt like routers with both 2.4 and 5 Ghz connections (i.e. any router in the last decade). It also doesnt like any wifi system with more that 15 connections (i.e. not a smart home). And dont even think about a mesh system. The support is also iffy. They are supposed to be working on a LoRA system. While I would like such a device, I will let someone else take the first one. Im taking to you, Paul Hibbert!

> 24 hourI ended up adding the Sewell IR Blaster (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074CNWJZV/) so I can control everything. ibroadlink.com/support - FYI your downloads dont work. Roku 4K streaming stick no codes, and cant learn - sent email. Optoma GT1090HR no codes, manually learned - screen uses RF different vendor unable learn codes - sent email. Unable to add additional buttons after setting up a universal Remote for device - sent email. Looking forward to hearing back. Hopefully once all codes are done the scenesmacros work. Also, very difficult to add the RM4 Pro device - it took about 20x attempts. It would have been nice to simply scan a QR and add the device vs. the manual setup that was required.

> 24 hourI bought this specifically to use as a smart remote to control one item in my house with my Google Mini. Never did I thought that I would be able to control my entire home movie theater with this Broadlink. Very small and compact to start with so it is easy to tuck it away somewhere in your home to keep it out of sight. The app is for the most part user friendly but you do need to have some knowledge on how to program universal remotes to get the full potential. I love how you can build scenes on the app and Google Home recognizes the scenes and you can trigger them with a simple voice command once you program the Broadlink scene(s) into your Google home. The one con that I am finding is that being that it is IR technology, you would want to place it where the components that you want to control like you would with a regular remote controller in a place where it has almost a clear line of site to the said components. Aside from that, it is a great IR Blaster and having the RF technology onboard is an added bonus.

> 24 hourCompramos 1 para hacer la prueba, buscando como controlar los aires y la televisión con Alexa. El resultado fue lo esperado. Solo que aún no hemos configurado el cambio de canales. Por que es un proceso que requiere tiempo. Cuando lo tenga funcionando actualizo mis comentarios. Definitivamente se requiere un en cada estancia.

> 24 hourIts 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.
