Alexians love their voice assistant so much that today they almost always equip themselves with compatible devices, even making this point a main purchase criterion. But, if more and more devices are today " Alexa friendly ”or outright "Certified Alexa » by Amazon, we are not going to renew all our electronic objects in a few months, not to mention that we sometimes even want to keep some as long as possible, either because they are of high quality, or quite simply because they remain fully functional. But wouldn't it be possible to control them by voice?
Well yes, a large number of devices can be made compatible even though they came out at a time when Alexa had not yet germinated in the minds of its creators. Obviously, as you can imagine, there are still some prerequisites for this, including the fact that they have a remote control. Whether infrared (IR), radio-frequency (RF), Bluetooth or even Wi-Fi, there are indeed several solutions on the market to dispose of your remote controls and enjoy voice control with Alexa.
Alexians often joke about the future compatibility - or not - of a famous Logitech Harmony hub, a Swiss company that seems to care little about the French-speaking market given the time it takes to provide us with its skills, but fortunately there are other almost equivalent solutions. This is precisely one of them that we decided to test for you today, in this case the Broadlink RM pro +.
Indeed, the Chinese manufacturer did not hesitate to provide us with a skill that makes its device devilishly effective with Alexa. But let's take a closer look at what this Wi-Fi device for IR / RF remote controls can do for us.
Broadlink RM pro +: say goodbye to your remote controls
Unboxing
Le Broadlink RM pro + comes in a rather nice and confidence-inspiring box, which immediately announces the color: this device will allow you to control audio, audio / video devices, or even air conditioning, curtains, shutters, switches and even light bulbs. It works over Wi-Fi and therefore acts as a Universal remote controller as indicated on its packaging. The brand announces outright compatibility with more than 50.000 devices, an assertion impossible to verify, but not really improbable given the impressive number of products using infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) technologies.
When opening, we immediately spot the device, all dressed in black, which is reminiscent of infrared receivers. Logic. This last one is supplied with a fastening system, two screws and two wall plugs, to fix it if necessary against a wall. We appreciate the effort.
A very small notice is also in the game, but it takes almost a magnifying glass to be able to decipher the content exclusively in English. But do not worry, nothing to stop an Alexien, and we will detail you a little the installation procedure in the language of Molière.
In the meantime, let's see what this little polyhedron of 114.5 109 mm × mm × mm 36 has in the belly.
Information
- Supply : 5V DC ≥1A
- Operating temperature : 0 ~ 55 ℃
- Supported humidity: X85% RH
- Wi-Fi frequency: 2.4GHz 802.11b / g / n
- Infrared frequency: 38 kHz (multidirectional diodes)
- RF frequency: 433/315MHz ≤10dBm
- Standby consumption: ≤1W
As you have probably noticed, the Broadlink RM pro + uses infrared IR at 38 kHz, but also two radio frequencies RF on the 433 MHz and 315 MHz bands. Interesting! But what about in practice?
Broadlink: control your devices with your smartphone
As the Broadlink system is delivered without a remote control, you will need to arm yourself with a mobile device to configure your devices, but also to transform it into a universal remote control. It is indeed a simple hub and the most practical will undoubtedly be to use your smartphone.
Installation
The installation of the application presents no difficulty. Just go to your favorite store and download the app IHC for Europe, or Intelligent Home Center for Europe on the PlayStore or the one of the same name on the App Store from the mark to the apple.
Be careful, unless you live across the Atlantic or in a more exotic country, be sure to download the European version or you will have the greatest difficulty finding your devices in the list, as long as the arm, of brands offered by Broadlink .
Open the app. This invites you to create an account, condition sine qua non to be able to use the device which will then need to connect to your home Wi-Fi.
Then plug in your brand new toy to the sector and connect it to your box or router on the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.
That's all! All you have to do is configure your first device.
Adding a device
Adding a device can be done from two different ways : by selecting it from the list of devices already known to your Broadlink RM pro +, or by learning the remote control directly from the hub. Either way, it's quick and easy.
In our example, we decided to connect a Sony brand Hi-Fi amplifier which already has a lot of flight hours, since it dates from 1999. Yes, even a 20-year-old device will be able to control itself by voice thanks to this device. Isn't that just awesome? We love it anyway!
In short, take your remote control and follow the on-screen instructions.
Choose the type of device and look for it in the official list. If, however, you cannot find it, go to "Me" And click "Can't find my brand, learn the remote right away". As you will understand, this means that we will have to teach the remote control to the Broadlink RM pro +.
Our Sony brand amplifier being 20 years old, we chose to teach it the remote control ourselves, not being able to find it in the database.
To do this, simply grab the device's remote control, choose the function of the button to learn, and aim at the Broadlink hub by pressing the button when the application requests it.
Each key will be configured and tested immediately. If your device does not respond to commands sent by the Broadlink RM pro +, you can start over.
Be careful not to get too close to the device, it won't work any better. On the contrary, even if you are too close, the codes may be incorrectly recorded, which could generate errors later.
That's it, you can now control the registered device with your smartphone. Okay, that's all well and good, but what about voice control?
Broadlink RM pro +: when Alexa turns into a universal remote control
Like any self-respecting Alexien, you now want to go further and do without your smartphone using your favorite voice assistant.
Voice control with Amazon Alexa
Broadlink, unlike Logitech, has not forgotten us and provided us, several months ago already, a skill Alexa in French! You will find it on the skill store ofAmazon.fr under the name of broadlink Smart Home for EU or on your application Alexa.
You just need theactivate and enter the information relating to your Broadlink account that you previously created via the mobile application. At this point, however, Alexa will not necessarily find your Broadlink RM pro + in its device list. Indeed, not all types of devices appear. If you set up a tv, however, you will have the pleasure of finding it again and being able to control it by calling it TV or TV.For other devices, don't worry, you can indeed use them too! You will just need, first, create scenes in the IHC for EU app. This done, Alexa should automatically detect these scenes and you can then control them by voice.
Create scenes for Alexa
Once the remote control is configured, go to "Scenes" to start creating your scenes.
First of all, choose an image or icon (not compulsory) but especially a name that you will find in your application Alexa.
Then press “Add appliance” to configure the actions to be performed. Switching on and off using the same button, we don't need to create two different scenes here.
You can add other actions to be performed in a certain order and you can even determine a waiting time between each action, which can be useful for devices with a low latency, in particular the TV decoders of our dear ISPs.
Let's take another example by making the device perform two actions. This can be useful for, for example, increase the sound in steps of 2 or 5. A single press generally only increases the latter very little, it would become tedious to do it by voice in steps of 1, so it may be interesting to increase the latter a little more. In our case, two will be more than enough. In addition, the remote control being very reactive, there is no need to put any waiting time, the actions are carried out one after the other and are well picked up by the infrared receiver of the amplifier.
But you can obviously imagine much more complex scenes as, for example, for a Home Cinema installation:
- Switch on the television,
- Switch on your decoder,
- Switch on the Home Cinema amplifier,
- Launch a channel or your favorite SVOD application.
You can also imagine many other things and even insert your scenes into routines Alexa. Routines which, as we will see, also make it possible to simplify the commands and make them more natural.
And to configure a television?
We invite you to watch this very complete video published by Alexandre Sabatier, moderator of the most famous Facebook groups dedicated to Alexa.
Routines Alexa for your Broadlink hub
The main benefit of the routines will be that you can customize the voice command as desired. Here we have made it simple and chosen to call the device "Sony". The commands will therefore be of the type « Alexa, turn on / off Sony ” or even « Alexa, increase / decrease Sony ”. Again, it's up to you to see what suits you best, and it's up to you to create much more complete scenarios.
A more than conclusive test
Once again we unearthed there an inexpensive and frankly practical device which should appeal to more than one Alexian. Especially if, like us, you don't want to part with a device that is admittedly old but still just as powerful. If we have so far only tested this hub on audio / video devices, know that it can control virtually all infrared devices, RF315 or RF433.
Finally, note that, if you don't have anything to do with RF control, you can also turn to the model Broadlink RM Mini 3 which is satisfied with infrared but whose even smaller size can also be an asset.
Indeed, infrared does not pass through walls, you may want to place several in your home, which you can do for less than 20 € with the mini version of this hub.
Bonjour.
It looks great this little device.
I will nevertheless have a few questions.
Can we drive a Freebox Revolution and a Freebox Mini 4K?
Goods.
Indeed, it is top! Unfortunately, Freebox remotes are a bit special. That of the Revolution operates at 2.4 GHz hyper frequency and is therefore not compatible, and that of the Mini 4K uses Bluetooth. Only the Freebox Crystal and V5 are compatible because they use infrared.
Hello,
Thank you for this great tutorial / test.
Is this hub compatible with homewizard sockets smartwares and flamingo switch?
Thank you
The thank you box
A priori, no worries, the Homewizard and Flamingo sockets communicate in RF433. 😉
The Freebox Revolution and Mini 4K can be controlled over Wi-Fi via an Android app on its smartphone. I thought that the Broadlink PRO + also allowed to communicate via Wifi?
Bonjour.
The Freebox Mini 4K has an IR receiver and works with the Harmony remote control by choosing the “freebox mini 4K” or “freebox crystal” profile. Do you know if in the list of compatible Broadlink devices there is the Freebox?
Goods.
Hello,
I just checked and Freebox does appear in the “Set Top Box” menu!
Thanks for this tutorial.
No worries about ordering a SAMSUNG TV. On the other hand, impossible to learn for my SFR fiber box. The remote control signal does not appear to be recognized despite trying to learn manually.
Is there 7ne particular configuration to switch to RF?
Thank you for your feedback
Great, thank you. Hop, it's ordered 😉
You shouldn't regret it! Personally, I am delighted! 😉
No special manipulation to be done at the Broadlink level. You can find the SFR part number in Set Top Box> SFR, which should save you from having to do manual learning. Otherwise, don't get too close to the Broadlink for RF learning. 🙂
For those who are interested, I shared the “Free, Freebox Mini 4K” profile.
Note that there is also a plugin for Tasker which allows you to control the RM Pro.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.originally.rm_trial&hl=fr
Great! Good idea, it should help more than one! 😉
Hello, I acquired this little hub about three months ago. I have rf switches, my 10 year old lg home theater, my Rfxcom Lidl sockets everything works nickel and with Alexa moreover what happiness ... except for one device for which I had specifically acquired it: my MCZ pellet stove ... Indeed it is controlled by an RF remote control so on paper it must have been impeccable. Unfortunately impossible to configure your remote control because (obviously) of this damn "long press"! If you have a solution I am interested, because the wifi module of the stove costs an arm and more is not compatible Alexa!! Thanks in advance.
Hello,
It seems that this is 434.50 MHz, a frequency not supported by the Broadlink, and which seems to be a problem for a lot of people. If the RM pro + does not manage to learn it, it is surely the concern.
Sorry I can't help anymore.
Hello,
Have you tested with homewizard / smartwares?
Thank you
cordially
Great, I had it for a long time, but the integration into alexa, via the scenes is extra. Thanks to your tutorial, I was able to integrate the mi box 3 (xiaomi) A big thank you.
We are glad we were able to help you. Thanks for your feedback!
Why does it no longer appear in the list of Devices that can be added to Google Home?
In the alphabetical list with letter B there is no longer ...
Ban google?
I don't hesitate to buy one suddenly ...
I invite you to turn to a site or a group specializing in Google Home as we are for Alexa. Each voice assistant has its own characteristics, unfortunately we cannot answer you.
Great product, but which unfortunately does not work with the orange livebox 4 (it is the only box on the market that does not connect with the broadlink), too bad I will have to switch to the livebox play (livebox3) 🙁
Bonjour.
I will be interested in controlling my indoor air conditioning unit with alexa, and I wondered if there was the list of compatible equipment somewhere. I have a Toshiba RAS-B10N3KV2 air conditioning.
Thanks in advance for the reply.
A priori, it is an infrared remote control, so no problem. Toshiba is well on the list of compatible air conditioning systems.
Goods.
I will order 🙂
Do not hesitate to come back if you ever have any concerns. 😉
Hello, this sounds to be interesting but my roller shutter control is in RF 868,3 MHz, is there a similar product with this frequency?
Thank you for your answers.
See you soon.
Hello,
If you have a home automation box, turn to RFLink. Otherwise, more than the frequency, it would be necessary to know the protocol used by your shutters, or at least their brand. At Somfy, for example, in 868MHz, it's io-homecontrol. But many other protocols use this frequency (Z-Wave, EnOcean, Blyss, X2D / X3D, ARW, Advisen, KNX, etc.). The material to choose will therefore depend on this parameter in addition to the frequency.
Have a nice week end!
Thank you for your answer, I do not know the protocol, it is art and window that did the installation, there are individual remote controls per M-Soft shutter ( http://www.soprofen.com ) and an Elero variotel central remote control.
Cordially..
Unfortunately, this is 868 MHz. The Broadlink RM Pro + is therefore not suitable, it only supports the 315 and 433 MHz bands. 🙁
Hello everybody
I am going to buy a house with SIMU brand roller shutters, do you know this type of shutter is compatible with this device or another of the same kind?
Thank you for your answers.
William
At first glance, this is 868,95 MHz, so the answer is no. 🙁
You should probably look to a home automation solutionas an Jeedom for example, or to connected switches for roller shutters.
Goodbye!:)
curious my livebox 4 works without worries
Same, no problem on Livebox 4. 🙂
hello unable to activate skill despite several attempts (Connection failed. Please make sure you entered the BroadLink account name and password.) I'm sure if anyone has any idea thanks.
Hello,
This is not the first time that this kind of problem has arisen. Wait a few hours and everything should unlock, sometimes it seems to take up to 24 hours.
good evening ok thanks it's good it works
Hello everybody
I have a broadlink rm Pro in my living room and would like to control the TV and set-top box in my upstairs bedroom.
Unfortunately, with the ihc for eu app on my laptop, I can't do it. With Alexa, it goes without problem, but I would like to control the devices via my phone.
My question: should I buy another device for the bedroom?
What solutions do I have at my disposal?
Thank you.
Hi,
If your remote controls are IR, this is normal: infrared rays do not pass through materials. IN RF, it can pass, but it all depends on distance, walls and other sources of interference.
Also, each remote must be learned at Broadlink. Yes Alexa can control them, then you must be able to do so through the app.
Good night
Hello,
Thank you for this information.
Ordered a Broadlink Mini 3.
I am waiting for the reception.
Goods.
hello, what configuration with you in your livebox 4, I personally have several connected Wifi objects that I cannot connect to the livebox 4 (bulb plug and broadlink rm pro +)
All these devices need to be paired at 2.4 GHz, so the smartphone that you use to do this either on the 2.4 GHz band during the association.
Also, don't forget that some remote controls such as garage doors or several manufacturers of electric shutters use rolling codes to prevent their product from being hacked and to reduce burglaries. The same goes for car remotes. Alexa lock the Twingo please 😉
Indeed, rolling codes are frequently used, and this is desirable. However, you can find user settings for some remote controls in the IHC for EU application, if of course the code is not specific to each remote control.
Hello, on paper it looks more efficient than the harmony hub? Can we launch one scenario without turning off the other? I would like to start the TV and if necessary start the air conditioning without a scene stopping. Thank you
Hello,
The Broadlink has two advantages over the Harmony hub: its price and its perfect compatibility with Alexa in French (the Harmony hub still does not offer a native skill, even if it is possible to use it via the Yonomi application). However, it is not more efficient, and does not make a Bluetooth hub.
Have a good day
Hello, thank you for the response.
In terms of scenes, does it like harmony to stop one scene to start another or else alexa take the hand to do what we ask?
Thank you
Bonjour.
Is it possible to create complex scenarios, for example with connected thermometers: if the temperature drops below 19 degrees, turn on the pellet stove (which has a remote control…)?
Thank you!
Hello,
With Alexa and a compatible thermometer usable in routine, it is quite possible indeed, but they are still rare to allow it today.
The first compatibility arrives under Tuya / Smart Life. It is therefore sufficient to define the temperature of the sensor and activate the Broadlink scene of the stove when the condition is respected.
: )
Ok, thanks for the quick and accurate response.
Could it work with those (and Zigbee gateway)?
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000113973389.html
Do you know a device similar to broadlink which supports 434.50MHz to control an MCZ stove?
Sorry, we're not sure what to advise you. 🙂
Hi,
Following the reading of this article, I acquired this product which I managed to use with almost all of my devices, Store RF included but, impossible with a Freebox Revolution (The SET TOP BOX base is empty in the ihc for Eu application) and, my HC Marantz amp.
I also intend to order the TC2 switches ... but I just have trouble understanding the principle of the back and forth which apparently (according to my research on the Net) can be done in WiFi, between the two switches. back and forth
Hi,
Try to look in the shared user database.
Yes, I tried without success but hey, I have the Free application that does the job. What interests me the most is the back-and-forth management with the TC2. If info then lessee 🙂
Bonsoir
My house is equipped with electric shutters controlled by BLYSS switches. These switches (equipped with a receiver) can be operated manually or via a BLYSS remote control either by ON and OFF buttons associated with each roller shutter, or by (rudimentary) programming of opening and closing times. .
Before purchasing this Broadlink product, can you tell me if these BLYSS devices are in the list of known devices in the Broadlink hub or if you have already successfully learned them?
Thank you
Hello,
I cannot guarantee that it will work properly, but there is indeed a “Blyss” entry in the “User Library” of the IHC for Europe application (that of the Broadlink therefore). At worst, you can still manually learn your remote, it seems compatible. Personally, I had to learn most of the equipment, the shared library was quite poor at the time, but it has grown considerably since then.
Have a good day !
Thank you for your precise answer.
I just ordered. I will give you a little feedback after my first tests
With pleasure! 🙂
Hello I can not connect my broadlink rm mini 3 to my livebox 4 can you help me thank you
Thank you I will test 😉
Hello I have a H.koenig swr22 robot vacuum cleaner with a 2.4 ghz remote control can it be associated with broadlink?
Thank you
Hello,
No, the Broadlink only emits 433 MHz or Infrared RF signals.
Have a good day
NO ? So why you say above (RF frequency: 433/315 MHz ≤10dBm Standby power consumption: ≤1W
As you've probably noticed, the Broadlink RM pro + uses 38kHz IR infrared, but also uses dual RF radio frequencies on the 433 MHz and 315 MHz bands. Interesting! But what about in practice? )
I do not understand ????
Thank you
You are talking about a 2.4 GHz remote control (probably ISM?) And the Broadlink RM Pro + can only replace the RF 433/315 MHz and IR 38 kHz remote controls….
Hello,
I am interested in controlling an air conditioning too (see 2). But the broadlink must be facing the air conditioning to send the exact signals? do you have any feedback on use with air conditioning?
Goods.
Hello, I am interested in buying this device as well. Unfortunately I find myself in the same situation, I have a mini 4k freebox and would like to avoid buying a crystal remote. Where can I find the profile of the freebox and how to install it.
Mil thanks.
Hello,
You just have to go to "add appliance" then "user library" and search for the profiles shared by the community.
Have a good day,
You can also switch your Box Fiber remote control to IR mode “Press keys 1 + 3 until the Home key flashes to switch the remote control from infrared transmission to radio-frequency and vice versa. "
You can switch the remote control to IR mode: Press keys 1 + 3 until the Home key flashes to switch the remote control from infrared to radio-frequency transmission and vice versa.
Hi
Is it compatible with the latest generation of Box PROXIMUS (Belgium)?
French brand: Technicolor
main Features :
- Model UIW4020PXM (Sapphire);
- Android 9.0 Pie with Play Store compatibility (without restrictions);
- Storage: 16 Gb;
- Maximum resolution: 4K HDR.
As seen in the thread of this page it is IR compatible and another style mode? (RF or Bluetooth) ?.
It is with this second technology that I prefer to work.
Is the Broadlink RM pro + compatible with this? RF? Technology
Thank you in advance.
Is it possible to consult the total list of equipment officially listed and / or the community sharing space?
Hello,
Unfortunately, I will have a hard time answering you, except to say that yes, it is RF compatible. As long as your box does not use rolling codes, you can teach it the functions, but it is also possible that a profile exists in the community. To check it, I invite you to install the application. Unfortunately the test is old and the app has changed, we haven't looked into it yet, but we'll do it soon.
Good evening 🙂
@Alexien Modo
Thank you for your reply.
After a little research it appears that the wireless mode of communication is technology: Bluetooth.
When I switch to IR mode, the frequency used is obviously not the same for the BOX as for my Samsung TV.
Any idea of this other IR frequency used for the BOX?
And while we're at it, what frequency is used for Samsung TV equipment?
😉
I have a SONY XT-XT1 soundbar which also appears to use an IR frequency other than that of the Samsung TV.
Any idea how often this SONY XT-XT1 could use?
In the end, would this “Broadlink RM pro +” be compatible with this or these other IR frequency (s)?
Thank you
Hello everybody
I use the Apple TV 4 to watch TV on a Sony TV with for example the MyCanal App which allows me to watch live TV or replay them with the small remote control of the Apple TV.
My question, this little Broadlink RM Pro + device would allow me to order with Alexa the ignition, the sound, the change of channels and access to the Apple TV menu?
Has someone already tried ?
Thank you for your answers.
Hello everyone, is this device compatible with an AppleTV which I use to watch TV via the MyCanal application, I would like to be able to turn on, manage the sound, access the menu, validate using Alexa ? has anyone already tried?
Hello,
Yes, it works great, you will find a ready-made configuration for Apple TV. 🙂
Have a good day
Hi,
Is the configuration for AppleTV you are talking about in the Broadlink RM Pro + settings?
Thank you for answering me so quickly ...
Best regards.
Hello,
Yes, absolutely, you just have to choose "Decoder" then "Apple TV", Broadlink has integrated the box natively in its application.
Thank you for your details 😊
With pleasure ! 😉
Hello,
I cannot configure the remote control for my livebox 4 with the rm pro 4. No key is recognized and I am in good RF mode. Can someone who succeeded explain to me what they did? Thank you
Hello,
The LB4 remote control is Bluetooth, that's normal… But it has an IR sensor so you should find the configuration on the Broadlink app. 😉
Have a good day
Hello,
I am very interested in the broadlink RM pro + to control my electric roller shutters. These EVENO brand shutters are controlled by wireless transmitters. Does this magnificent device support my roller shutters?
Looking forward to your return, thank you.
Hello,
Difficult to answer without details on the model… The question is: do they use a rolling code?
Good afternoon ! 😉
Hello, and thank you for all these explanations.
My question is simple, I have somfy roller shutters acev remote control SOMFY - KEYGO RTS 4 channels!
The broadlink rm pro +, can it replace my remote controls to operate my shutters.
(I know that somfy stands out from other manufacturers for the frequencies of its devices)
Thank you for your reply .
Regards . YD
Hello, I have been using my M pro robot vacuum cleaner every day for months and I am satisfied with it. I would like to know how to delete received and sent messages as well as cleaning history.
thank you for your reply
Corinne
Hello,
Which robot are you talking about?
Hello,
Unfortunately no, the RTS is a Somfy proprietary protocol, so you have to go through a box of the brand.
Good week
Hello everybody
I have a house with SIMU brand roller shutters, do you know what type of shutters is compatible with this device?
The radio frequency to use is 433.92hz, and do you know if it's roller shutters have rolling codes?
Thank you for your answers.
Mathieu
Hello,
We only know this brand by name, but it belongs to Somfy, so it's a safe bet that the code is running ...
Good weekend
Reading the very informative comments of the editorial staff, I realize that my roller shutters with remote control are not 868,95 MHz compatible.
But then which product should I turn to in order to finally be able to return them? Alexa friendly?
It all depends on the brand and the protocol used. 🙂
Hello everyone. I bought the RM4 to drive a 433 Mhz RF controller. On the remote control there are 3 buttons. I manage to teach him a button but when I do the second, the first no longer works. You have any ideas ? Thank you !
Hello,
Unfortunately we have not yet tested this version… Try to change the type of remote control maybe. What device is it?
To control the bbox, you must configure in smart life a cisco set-top box. It works great for me.
Thanks for the info Mehdi! 🙂
Hello, I have Somfy roller shutters with a remote control to control level 0 and / or the shutters upstairs. It is a remote control Somfy TELIS 1 Pure RTS remote control in 433,42 Mhz. Is it compatible? or am I stuck? thank you for the clarification. I would have liked to be able to control them remotely from my speaker or during our travels. Regards,
Hello,
No, the Somfy RTS protocol is proprietary, you must turn to their TaHoma solution or those of their partners.
Have a good day
Thank you for your feedback, I just realized that as I own a Freebox DELTA, it seems that I can directly configure this between the Freebox app and my / my roller shutter remote controls. I will dig.
Yes, I almost asked you because Somfy RTS is partly supported by the Freebox Delta. You can find the compatibilities in this pdf.
Hello,
Reading the various comments, I cannot find an answer to my question:
- Already having sockets Smartplug working under SmartLife / Tuya Smart, is it possible to pair them using the Broadlink app, or do they absolutely have to be taken (I specify: I do not yet have the small RM4 device, but I have loaded the app and I cannot to configure a ZOOZEE type socket, for example).
Thank you for your feedback!
Cdt
Hello,
This is normal, the Tuya / Smart Life only work on the home cloud and therefore via the brand's applications. 🙂
Hi
Thank you for your reply,
So that means 2 apps for each ecosystem so😟, I had the secret hope that an app had been developed either to bring them all together, or failing to offer a gateway from one system to the other ...
Frankly the Broadlink plugs are not dreamy by their design….
Hello,
Unfortunately no, hence the success of home automation boxes like Home Assistant ou Jeedom which centralize everything… 😉
Otherwise there are IR controllers Smart Life / Tuya. 😉
Good evening 🙂
Hello,
There is an equivalent of the Broadlink RM pro + with a remote control to control a 4K firestick, a TV and for the moment the orange tv box.
cordially
Hello everyone, to make the RM4 work with the Freebox Mini 4K, I try all the existing Freebox “Unofficial” configurations in the Set-Top Box category, nothing works! As the remote control is supposed to be Bluetooth, are we really sure that the Freebox Mini 4K is compatible with the RM4? (It seems that there is still an IR sensor on the box). If anyone here has really succeeded in this association, I take his advice!
Thank you
Hello,
I am looking for a universal remote control compatible with Amazon FireStick, the Orange UHD TV decoder and a thomson 42FE9234 TV.
The RMpro + is interesting but no remote control, is there the same with remote control in the same range of plugs?
I forgot theamazone Echo Studio
Hello,
To our knowledge, no, apart from the Logitech Harmony whose integration is however not native in France (there are third-party solutions) while the skill is offered elsewhere ...
Hello, can it work with remote controls for rolling shutter simu transmission frequency band 433.o50 mhz
Hello,
We do not know this brand, but nothing less certain because they generally use rotating codes… 🙁
Hello I am interested in your broadlink
I would like to use them for Somfy roller shutters
Do you know if this might have worked?
Hello,
No, it won't work, Somfy uses its own protocol or rolling codes depending on the model.
Hello,
I had initially bought the “SwitchBot Hub Mini” to automate the shutters, but could not make it work with the remote control.
I do not know the model of the shutters, but behind the remote control there are the following mentions:
Model: DC90
433Mhz
27A / 12V
0. 709043000
Do you think the Broadlink RM pro + would work better than the switchbot hub mini?
Thank you so much!
Hello,
The Broadlink will not solve the problem, if it does not work it is probably due to rolling codes, a frequent practice in 433 MHz on such equipment for security reasons. 😉
Good Sunday
Thank you for your reply.
In fact if it can help other people, the Broadlink worked well unlike the Switchbot for RF433 electric shutter remotes, so very happy!
Ah so you don't have a rolling code, which is good news for you… 😉
Hello,
For info to replace the remote control of my roller shutters (SIMU RTS) and to be able to integrate them into my home automation box (Jeedom on RPi) I used an RFXCom box (where there is also the RFPLAYER which manages the 868 MHz frequency in more).
I have interfaced everything with Jeedom and I can therefore control them by voice (via GHome) or via the web interface or via another programmable remote control.
😉
Hello,
Thank you for the feedback. 😉 Not having RTS shutters, we have not yet been able to take an interest in this solution, but it does indeed come up often… Among Jeedom, Home Assistant or Domoticz users.
Have a good day
