BroadLink RM4 pro S and Sensor Set, IR & RF 433MHz Universal Remote Control Hub with USB Sensor Temperature Humidity Monitor USB Cable, Works with Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Only

Arrived quickly and small enough to ho through letterbox. Found it quite easy to set up, plenty of videos on you tube to help. We had to get a better skill than the one Alexa offered for SKY Q but now the box is absolutely great. We now don't need a remote and can ask Alexa to " turn on BBC or FILM 4 etc. So good we have just ordered another for another room.

Make sure you understand if the product you want to control is IR (Infrared) or RF (Radio controlled). I nearly bought the IR only one, then realised I needed the better / more expensive one that did RF as well.I purchases this to protect some old paintings and old books in a room from strong morning sun from the East. We had remote control blinds that we manually controlled.Now all automated with time, room temperature, and whether outdoors is sunny or not.We purchased the RM Pro with sensor.My only ask would be an option to have a separate sensor lead as opposed to it being part of the USB power cable. It would give a few more options on placing itAs I said brilliant.In our home network we have already a separate 2.4Ghz-only WiFi network split off and only used for "simple"/"old" devices e.g. oven! I don't know how the product works with router / access points that are in default setting and broadcast a single network name on 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz.

replacing logitech as they have pulled the plug on their product line (and it was pretty bad), this is very good, 2 minutes to install and get working, 5 minutes to have basic control over tv, hifi and STB. Alexa integration is ok, on par with others.Good product, easy to use,

The IR works well. Its under my TV and the signal reflects off the sofa/ wall with enough intensity to operate the TV + AMP.The RF is another story. It goes through phases where it will not work at all for a day or 2. You can recode it and try but still nope. Happens with multiple devices so I know its not a rolling code issue. Been using it for blinds and windows. Gave up on the windows and used a zigbee module instead.It only sees devices as on/off so you have to think outside the box a little when setting Alexa routines. You cannot say turn on tv and it will work, you have to make a routine first. Bit convoluted and clunky.

easy to install and use

Amazon are fine this ia gripe with Broadband for a starters and a reach out. Very dissapointed in mine at least the RF module is not fit for purpose. I had one previously which I've annongyingly mislaid so bought a new one since the app and general ecosystem is updated. Somehow they have made RF (Radio Frequency) not work through any solid object. For beginners radio waves are meant to go through things that's why your normal radio works indoors. Mine won't turn on a 4 way RF433.92 switch that sits behind the sofa. If I move it so it's in clear site of the remote then it works. I suspect it was hypersensitive when I tried the auto find frequency option and it found the value of 433 Mhz which makes for much worse learning than 433.92. As I write this now am thinking maybe best way forward is wifi but that uses alot of power. Anyone found an alternative soluition? Maybe a USB dongle with Home Assistant. Also adding each socket is a right pain why they have no option for four gang I don't know

This worked well with the tv and relatively well with my motorised blinds. The louvalite blind controller was substantially more expensive than this one and as per a previous review it controls the blind’s just fine. My set up is with four roller blinds controlled by one remote control. The only issue I’ve had is one of the blinds doesn’t always work and it’s not always the same one. Not sure if there’s a setting to prolong the time the signal is sent but will look into it.

We bought this to clone our diesel heater remotes so that we can automate powering up / down.It took us about 15 min to clone 3 remotes hooked up to 3 different heaters and we can now work off a thermostat to power up and down the units when temps hit a certain range.Some other devices will set you back £150 per unit.Can’t go wrong.
