Broadlink RM Pro
2 reviews
Does not integrate well with the rest of my smart things. Clunky to set up – First off, I must point out that I have about 30 smart devices at home. All of them installed and set up by me over the last couple of years. The Broadlink RM Pro+ does work OK, but integration with Google Home is poor. The only really useful function is switching on/off a fairly complex home theatre system. It was difficult to set up because my AVR has separate on & off buttons on the remote. There is no provision for this. The Broadlink unit expects one button for toggling power. I had to employ a workaround by using the TV to shut everything down via HDMI CEC Link. Overall response in use is very good and it can replace many remotes, but it's not easy to set up. Not intuitive at all. To be fair, at this price point, I shouldn't complain but I expected better and I gave it 3 stars purely for value for money. If you need to control many devices with your phone or tablet, this could be ideal but useful voice control is another story.
Purchased in for $55.90.
Great small device to convert your home as smart home – Lost one remote and trying to find alternate way to solve our problem, from online found this device. Purchased via eBay and it's not just solved our problem. It is actually converted our home as smart home. You can sync your IR remotes, can control that from mobile application. I now synced all our remotes in this device and we able to set some sequence (turn light off, close blind, turn TV on, turn home theater on, etc.,)... cool is it. This device also support IFTTT and I use IOS, with new shortcuts I can do much more stuffs from this device.
