BroadLink Wi-Fi Smart Remote Hub with Sensor Cable, IR RF All in One Automation Learning Universal Remote Control, With a Mini Smart Plug, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT （RM4proS+SP4M)

There are capabilities that I havent used yet. But it sure is nice to have Alexa change the channels on the TV for me. SCORE!!!

I used this bridge to control my smart shades. It works great with some fairly easy setup.

Hasta 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.

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...

Works like a charm. iOS app is reasonably easy to use. Added 3 blinds and set up Alexa routines in 10min. I did rename the On to Open since I am using it for motorized Roth + Allen blinds (with an RF remote... each blind has a built in RF number/frequency). The key in Alexa is to use Routines and a variety of Voice prompts. Alexa even recognized them as Shades! Example for raising all shades: Open Shades, Shades Up, Open the Shades (for my wife, she likes a variety of prompts). Add all 3 to one Routine so they all open at once (or close or stop). A single shade has a default of something like Alexa, Open the right shade (I have Left, Middle and Right but you could number them). You could use routines for other up/open/lift/raise/etc prompts. Much cheaper than the bridge that a big box store was selling.

Latest IOS App on iPhone 11 w/latest firmware would not get past first step in adding device. Kept saying connect to your homes Wi-Fi. I was connected to a 2.4Ghz SSID w/no complementary 5Ghz SSID. Called there 5x24hr support line to no avail. They never answer, it goes to some Spanish voicemail. All the videos online like like they are using a much older version of the broad link app.. I also dislike that I have to give the app permissions for geo location on top of bluetooth which both seem unnecessary. I get the vibe that this thing is just a cheap data mining utility for some Chinese company. Doesnt have a mature product feel. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend putting this on a segmented guest network. It only needs to communicate outbound unless you intend to use the Roku feature. I was excited there seems to be decent support for some advanced things like home-bridge etc.. but those are all worthless if the device wont even connect to the network. Im in the process of returning and going with a bond fan bridge. Unfortunately it costs 3x as much but at least I KNOW that works.

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.

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.
