> 3 dayHasta el momento he conectado al equipo un abanico, aire acondicionado, tv, equipo de sonido y funcionan bien, solo que hasta ahora no he podido manejarlos por completo con Alexa, debido a que algunos comandos no los reconoce.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayDoes 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

> 3 dayThe only reason Im not giving this product a 5* review is that they are misleading with how it works with Alexa, and that it has really a weird learning curve. Other than that I LOVE this thing! Ill try to teach you what Ive learned so that, hopefully, you can love this device as much as I do. Firstly, if the item is in the database, and you add it in via the database, then it will become a scene immediately. It has to be a scene to connect to Alexa. Also, dont forget you need to add broadlink as a skill in your alexa app as well. If its not an item in the database then you can add it as a user define. I prefer to add items as a user define, Ive found that it works better for me in the ifttt and alexa apps. If it is a user define you must make a scene for each individual button you add IF you want that button to have voice control. Lets say my fan remote has 3 buttons: power, oscillate, and speed. I wanted to be able to tell my fan to turn on and oscillate, but I dont care about controlling the speed of the fan with my voice. I would only make two scenes: one to turn on the fan, and one to make it oscillate. I could still control the speed via the broadlink app or the remote itself, but I wouldnt be able to voice control it. Lets learn about voice control, since its a little weird too. You can only turn scenes on in Alexa. Meaning I cant say turn off fan you have to say turn on fan off. As a side note, all this device can do is emulate the buttons on your remote so technically you should just say, Turn on fan to get it to turn off, since most power buttons turn the device on and off. Controlling devices vocally through scenes themselves is hard and extremely confusing. So make it a TON easier on yourself by using alexa routines. Routines are life. I have 3 different devices with three different remotes that I have to use every time I want to watch TV or play video games. Instead of having to fumble remotes I can say three words to Alexa and she will turn my TV on, my soundbar on, and the TV switched to the correct aux device almost immediately (pics of what some of my routines look like). It operates from top to bottom, so first it turns on my TV, then my sound bars, then switches to the auxiliary cord my nintendo switch or fire stick is plugged into (depending on which routine I trigger). Most of my routines are voice activated but they can be activated by time, action, location etc. My smart home, and remote count, is drastically improved by this affordable device.

15-11-2024It did exactly what I wanted it to do, completely voice automate my man cave with Google. I did a lot of research and at first considered going with the logitech harmony hub but when I fount out it didnt work for rf I was disappointed. I kept looking and finally found this, it worked perfectly! Paired with all my devices and using ifttt I can make single phrase commands that do multiple tasks, I love it!

19-11-2024I 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.

> 3 dayDesde 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

Greater than one weekReally 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.
