I have both a harmony hub with a remote and this broadlink rm4 pro i just got today. Set up was easy on my iPhone however it was a nightmare on my Galaxy S7 (and im an android person) i kept getting errors as well being told it wouldnt work on my network. Had i not tried it on the Iphone i probably would have filed a return. Now for the actual product, its very small, easy to hide. The harmony hub is leaps ahead in terms of ease of use and UI. The only benefit this one has , is it includes a universal RF controller which ive gotten to work great with my lights and other RF devices that the harmony would not do. In my opinion one is not a replacement for the other, however harmony was a lot easier for me to setup. Over all though the device works, and i couldnt find anything else that offers this. Hopefully the android issue was just something i experienced.

This device does a good job controlling each of our three motorized roller shades. You can also set up a group so it controls all your shades at the same time. Our motorized shade has a customizable mid position feature which is triggered when holding down the stop button on the remote; unfortunately I could not figure out how this Wi-Fi device is activated as a hold button.

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.

You can only configure Alexa for pre-programmed functions - not enough flexibility to say operate my fireplace.

Excellent!

I 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.

Desde la app se pueden controlar todos los dispositivos IR con facilidad y es muy sencillo de configurar con infinidad de opciones. Sin embargo, la skill de Alexa para controlar es muy pobre. Solo permite prender y apagar la mayoría de dispositivos y un poco más con TV pero quedan muchas opciones que no funcionan con el asistente de voz

I got this to control my fans in my living room. Was not able to match the RF from remote. Returned. The software seemed a bit rough on the edges but I think cound be a great product for the right person.

I bought this to control the ceiling fan of 1st floor. Wow, it’s fantastic because it worked with another ceiling fan of 2nd floor too. I realized I don’t need to buy another one for 2nd floor. The remote learning feature was straightforward too. I’m very satisfied with this device.

I bought this product to remotely control a TV and possibly some other devices for a handicapped person. Heres what I found: 1) it works over the same wifi network to provide a local wifi remote for a Roku TV. Great. But one cant use that remote over the internet. This is of course possible, the Alex Roku skill will control the TV from anywhere as long as there is an Alexa set up on the local wifi network. I can for example tell Alexa in my house to turn on the TV in the other persons house, set the input, etc. The Broadlink device clearly CAN communicate over the internet since I can use it remotely to control IR devices in the other house. However I suspect that the RM4 doesnt actually do wifi remotes, that is a function of the app. 2) When setting up IR remotes, NONE of the devices I had were pre configured. So 100% not matched despite the claim of 95% match. 3) The RM4 didnt come with a USB power adapter. Obviously one is likely to want to plug it into a power source. 4) It didnt work with the XFinity remote. Seems like a frequency issue. The particular frequency of that remote is not supported. For my use case Alexa worked and this didnt. Also Comcast has an app that works remotely (over the internet) to control the Xfinity box. Too bad I dont have some automated curtains I need to control. The only thing Im using this for now is to monitor temperature. In Celsius.
