We have a Broadlink Pro 3 model and had issues using it with a particular model fan (we have 4 of these fans), so when we found out the new version was out, we opted to try it out and see if the upgraded device would now work with our ceiling fans. Unfortunately, it does not. It seems to work with the light, but not the actual fan controls. However, any other devices that we have programmed to it, it has worked without issue and its integration with Google Home is awesome too (this was also available on the version 3 model too), so we decided to keep the unit and will gift our old unit to a friend or family member who wants the capability of controlling IR/RF devices with WiFi.

Update: 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...

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.

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

I 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.

If you have a mesh router (as every mid-size home should), it will not work unless you can put yourself on a 2.4ghz WiFi! This device needs to get into the 21st century. Dont waste your time. I bought this because it got good reviews. Well, I guess those people had simple old school (pre-Y2K) tech. I am trying to replace Harmony because it no longer works with Alexa (G&^%# M%#@$ F^&*%ers).

It is tough to write a review on this, as it didnt provide the functionality I hoped it would. I wanted it to control everything in my house like a broad universal Remote. It work on the TV, but not my Alexa Devices, fans, lights or anything else. If I didnt already have a Fure TV cube, I may have kept it. Instead I got the Bond Bridge IR/RF blaster, which works on most of these items, except for TVs.

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.
