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)

This device is great to automate devices in your home using Homekit (with the Homebridge plugin). The BroadLink app is still needed to initially connect the device. For me BroadLinks support was great, I recently had to contact support when I couldnt find the app in the Apple App store, they quickly responded and fixed the issue.

Update: After a few emails back and for with Broadlink, they were able to fix the problem on their end. Not perfect, but good service. The device stopped pairing with Google Home after a month. None of the suggested fixes (on BroadLinks website) corrected the problem. It still works as a stand-alone app and with Siri.

It 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!

I bought the RM4 Pro for an awning remote. It learns IR control well and works well. I try to use an RF control but it doesnt work. The RM4 learns the RF but will not send it when to the Sunsetter Awning.

There a lot of things that Alexa or Google can do but adding this device extends their ability to control the IR (TV remotes etc) and the RF (radio frequency devices) that you have had in your home for years. It allows you to control these devices via voice and does so reliability and easily. I have been more than impressed by this device. As a note for RF, make the unit you are buying supports both 315MHz & 433MHz.

I purchased this product after reading some blog posts from others that had used it to control non-smart devices. Im a fairly technical person and was excited about using this with Homebridge to add to my Home Kit ecosystem. I tried multiple times to setup the device in the Broadlink app but couldnt figure it out until today (over a month after purchase). Once setup, the basics were easy. The app prompted to update the firmware, which worked as expected. Over a month after purchase I finally got to try learning a remote. Broadlink doesnt have a partnership with my ceiling fan manufacturer (Stile) so I tried to manually add my remote (they also dont have a ceiling fan category so I had do this as a UserDefine appliance). The device was able to detect the RF frequency of my remote (which is not the same frequency as documented from the manufacturer) but when I try to learn a button it never sees my input. Im only leaving this review because Im past the point of return, literally. I cant return this item. Do not buy this. Their app is horrible (I didnt even mention how scrolling the list of appliances to add is not intuitive) and the hub itself just doesnt work.

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.

Update 27-Oct-20: Changing from 2 stars to 4 as the vendor has really spent time effort and communication with me showing real interest to increase compatibility and correct issues. Ive also learned a bit more about IR remote control - there are a lot of different protocols/techniques used and there is no standard. So its very challenging - probably impossible - to be 100% compatible with every IR device. Fortunately, one of the main things I want to be able to control with this looks like they will be able to get working! Update 19-Oct-20: Changing from 1 to 2 stars as the vendor has replied - so far not any fix. Read updates at bottom. Have wasted lot of time with this poorly engineered product, and the bottom line is: It WILL NOT connect to my TP-Link Archer A7 router (2.4ghz wireless). I have tried lots of things, including even disabling wireless security, changing the support for A/B/G/N, etc. The same thing happens every single time: this Broadlink device makes attempt to connect to the router, but it fails. I can see the Broadlink mac address as it connects to the router with 100% signal quality, and it shows in the wireless devices for a second or two, disappears, and will keep repeating the unsuccessful connection attempt. I have a spare older Netgear router, and in my troubleshooting set it up. This Broadlink will connect to it - but its not the router I want to use. So, is the problem the TP-Link or this Broadlink? I would have to say its the Broadlink because I have never had a problem connecting any wifi device to the TP-Link, including Amazon echo devices, Google home devices, smart plugs, smart thermostats, phones, notebook computers, etc., etc., etc. Extremely disappointed, but not entirely surprised as I look at other reviews. As I see it, theres something funky about the wifi setup/firmware on this device and it will work with some 2.4ghz routers, but definitely not all. So, even if it works for you, would you want a device that may not work in the future if you change/upgrade your router? UPDATE 1: Was ready to request RMA to send it back, and thought, well maybe I should at least see how it would work if it could connect to my network, so I hooked my old Netgear router up to the Internet, connected my phone and setup the Broadlink device. After it connected and finished the initial setup, it immediately downloaded from the internet new firmware. Aha. So, with that maybe it will connect to the router I actually use? I then put the TPLink back to the net and the Broadlink back to setup mode and..... It now connects to the TPLink router.... SO, we have a product that ships with bad firmware that prevents it from connecting to at least some routers/wifi, and the only way to fix it is to connect to a router/wifi and download new firmware! What really needs to happen is the vendor needs to re-flash these things before sending them out as new product.... UPDATE 2: After getting the hub on my network, started adding my remotes. No issue with TV, but had immediate issue with my set-top-box which is a Cisco ISB7150 - a cable box with DVR provided by Hawaiian Telcom for their cable provided by fiber using IP technology. I didnt find the remote listed by BroadLink, so tried to add it as custom. No matter what I tried, it would not learn a single button. Believe me, I tried and tried and tried. I have 2 remotes that can operate the stb - the one provided by Hawaiian Telcom (URC 2025B1-BB) and my old Logitech Harmony 650 which is perfectly able to learn any of the remote codes and is in the Logitech database. Almost ready to give up, I noticed a BroadLink database listing for: Iptv Cisco! (Under I not C). Well, that worked for the basic function of the stb, but none of the DVR-related keys are programmed, and many of the less-used set-top buttons as well are not there - with no success in getting BroadLink to learn any of them. I recd the product from Amazon on Sat. BroadLink support is 5x24 no Sat/Sun. But on Monday I did receive an email response from BroadLink to my problems. They acknowledge firmware update can resolve some compatibility issue with wifi (but thats catch-22 for most people as it requires connecting to a different router before it can be fixed and theres absolutely no mention of this potential issue anywhere). And, I was told they will change the database listing from Iptv Cisco to Cisco Iptv. And, I was asked more about the remote that cant be learned as if they are interested in addressing that. Will see what happens.... Finally, my ultimate goal is to use this with Alexa, and that does seem to work, but until I can get the STB remote functionality, its too limited to be useful.

It took me a little while to get it working only because Im not that savvy with the hubs. But eventually, I got it. I havent had time to get it programmed for the IR remotes yet.
