Update: now that I’ve had for about a week, here’s my update. Lost a star, because broadlink hub has to be directly in front of the receiver for it to work and looks ridiculous; needs IR blasters. Response time to turn volume up and down is terrible. 2 stars because I can control with Alexa. Honestly, $50 more and get the Harmony hub and place anywhere around the receiver. Even if Harmony can’t reach receiver, I can use IR blaster. I did program to use fireplace remote, but again the broadlink hub has to be directly in front of the fireplace. I got the broadlink so I can use IR and RF, but so far I can’t get get any RF to work. Was able to connect my Denon receiver without any problems using IR. Did relearn some of the buttons on the BroadLink app to match my remote. Will not connect to my RF remote ceiling fan. Doesn’t help that I don’t know what the RF is to my remote. I’ve searched everywhere I can think of.

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.

I 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.

I purchase eight battery powered remote controlled solar window shades from Lowes a couple years ago, I had to press button on the remote control to lift the shades up or down, when Im out of town on vacation I wanted a way to open and close the shades and the BroadLink IR/RF Smart Home Hub-WiFi IR/RF Blaster solved my problem, the BroadLink app is very easy to use, now I can program the shades to automatically lift up in the morning and down in the evenings without having to press the remote button, all eight blinds lift up/down at the same time.

The BroadLink RM4 Pro IR/RF Blaster appears well built. For this device to be controlled you need the BroadLink app for iOS or Android. Electrolux brand (which owns Frigidaire) is supported by the BroadLink app while Frigidaire is not. The only way to get the BroadLink app to remote IR control my Frigidaire window A/C unit was to put the app in learn mode (for selection my brand is not listed) where I would use the Frigidaire remote to program the A/C unit as I desired it to operate then turn it off. Then put the BroadLink app and device in learn mode, point the Frigidaire remote toward the front of the BroadLink device and press the Frigidaire Power On button. The BroadLink app encountered multiple errors both trying to learn just the Power On button and then the + button options which I can only describe as scenes (temp/fan/mode/auto/energy-saver settings). Ive attached a screenshot of that error screen. Note (another screenshot) that in the Me section of the BroadLink app I have my settings set to Fahrenheit but for my Frigidaire A/C unit the apps device control screen is still showing Celsius. BroadLink tech support, who did respond quickly, says theyre still working on the Fahrenheit issue. The BroadLink app has zero effect doing anything other than powering on/off the Frigidaire window A/C unit. BroadLink support informed me that theyre working to add additional brands like Frigidaire and my model in particular. Ive also included a screenshot of the BroadLink apps remote control screen for the Frigidaire A/C unit. Moving on to Alexa control. You must add the BroadLink skill to Alexa to control any devices via the BroadLink device. When my AC device was added to Alexa it shows up as a thermostat not as an air conditioner. The only command Alexa will acknowledge is Alexa turn off AC. This will either turn on OR turn off the A/C unit. If you say Alexa turn on AC Alexa responded AC doesnt support that. Im guessing this is because the device type is misclassified as a thermostat and not an air conditioner (see attached screenshot), but I dont know precisely why this occurs. Ill update this review in coming weeks and months depending on how the app and device operate including with Alexa. At this time I dont any RF devices to test with so I can only talk about IR functions.

Very easy to setup and program. Works very well with my motorized shades.

I bought this mainly to control my LG AC wall unit and Fan, the installation was quite difficult but was able to complete. I have several smart devices through out my home, from smart bulbs, smart locks to security cameras so this was not my first time setting up a device and wanted it to work with Google Home. I am able to link it to Google and it even appears on the app but that is all, it just wont work. I even tried linking to IFTTT and the same. It can turn off and on the AC unit through the app with no problem ,but I bought it to work with voice command.

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??

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!

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
