RM4 Mini Smart Remote(2.4GHz Wi-Fi Only)- IR Blaster Hub for Smart Home Automation, Infrared TV Air Conditioner Remote Replacement Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT

These devices work well. I was surprised how easy it was to connect this to a TV and get it to work. Sadly it does not work with the XFinity remotes. I use this to control a TV. I have a it connected with a SmartThings hub, Amazon Echo and Third Reality Zigbee Button. When the button is pressed, this device turns on a TV, and opens a Roku app. It allows my dad, who has had several strokes, to be able to turn on and off a TV without having to deal with the complexity of modern remotes. I also have another one connected to a Dyson fan/heater. Mine was purchased before they made smart models, so this allows me to voice control the fan from bed, which is nice. Basically it can be set up with pretty much any device that uses an IR signal.

I bought to control an Haier A/C unit, through the Google home app. Set up is simple. Download BroadLink app. Connect device to your home 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi. From there, you can look up devices, scan QR codes, and if you do not see your model, other customers posted operational remotes for various models, tag were not already in the BroadLink library. From there, you select the model, device remote show, select learn button, select the button you wish to program on your phone, it prompts you to learn it, point IR remote at device with tangible remote, and hit learn, then the button. It will show success and ask you to press the phone button to verify. If done proper, the buttoned learned, will work. Move in to the next button, then to the next device. I have a wife projector, not compatible with Google home. BroadLink bridged it, so my phone can ask Google to turn item on, asking BroadLink. It basically activated device to perform a shortcut, saved by BroadLink. It is a small round device, easily concealable, with a endless library of appliances. Siri performs shortcut directly from iOS, seamless integration. Love it. **Photo of device next to a standard key fob. Very discrete.

Works great.

Works as advertised. I set mine up with Home Assistant to control some devices in my son's room. The only hiccup I had was connecting it to wifi. I had to change my router security from WPA3 to WPA2 for it to connect. After connecting, I was able to set it back to WPA3 and it still connects fine after losing power. To connect to Home Assistant, it still requires the device to be added to the Broadlink app and then you have to toggle off the "lock mode". After completing that, you no longer need the app.

I will edit this review if Broadlink provides fixes. First, only one Brand in their database for air conditioners is absurd. If you have a Frigidaire, you may be okay, but I wouldn't count on it. You have the remite "Learn" option if you actually have the remote. I had a cheap IR blaster before that cintrolled this same air conditioner without having a remote. I could turn it on and off, change modes, fan speeds, temperatures, etc. It is also a heater, and I could set this. This Broadlink RM4 mini can only turn the unit on/off from Google Home. No other operations. Even from Broadlink's own app, the buttons only learn the state of the unit when the button is programmed. For instance, if the AC is at 65 when you program the Temp+ button, it will treat this as a preset fixed to 66. Regardless of where the AC is set, pressing Temp+ will set it to 66. The same goes for Temp-. To set fan speeds, you have to make sure that function (typically a toggle) is set below what you want the button to be learned to. If your remote goes from Auto --> low --> medium --> high, the back to auto, you need to start with it on Auto to have it learn "Speed 1." Again, theae are no limitations of the air conditioner because I have had full control of the same unit with a cheap IR at half the price of this one.

I wanted to be able to control an IR device with my automation system and z-wave remotes. Once I set this up in the Broadlink app I was able to link it to Home Assistant and used HA to learn the IR codes from the original remote. The device is smaller than I expected, but that's a good thing and makes it less obvious in my living room. The range seems to be about 10-15 feet so keep that in mind when picking a location. I did have some problems connecting it to my wifi due to the length of the password, but I set up a separate 2.4 ghz wireless network for it (something I needed to do anyway) and it connected right away. I'm not using the Broadlink app so I can't comment on how well that works.

after a few emails with worthless advice from broadlink tech support and about 8 hours of scanning the web for a solution, I got the rm4 minis onboarded. The trick for me was: -turning off cellular data on my phone -change router settings so that the 2.4g band is using "legacy mode" meaning limiting connections to 802.11a,b and g. I didn't have to turn off the 5g network. -use the "broadlink" app with blue B logo -make sure the rm4 mini set up mode is "AP mode" - intermittent blinking After all of that only 1 of my minis was set up. The other one failed connection but was assigned an IP address via DHCP and was therefore seen by my router. 8 hours later I opened the app and it found the second mini. What a pain! Once set up was complete I was able to restore 2.4 band settings on my router and cellular data on my phone without issue. The app seems to be fine now. IR works well with most everything except a little HDMI switcher I use. Also, I wish I knew that you can't use the temperature and humidity sensor output as a trigger for alexa routines. That was a selling point that I guess I imagined.

Linksys dropped support for the Harmony Hub so I was thinking about a replacement. When I was “upgraded” to Alexa+, my Harmony routines stopped working. This device works with Alexa+ and allows a single voice command to turn on or off a satellite box, receiver, and TV. It’s a reasonable replacement for the Harmony hub and it’s supported.

ممتاز

producto hecho con muy malos materiales que se rompen en apenas unos meses y peor asistencia tecnica, no responden a los mails ni dan señales de vida

The quality the built everything is cool. Looks amazing. But a very powerful internet connection of 2.4GHz is needed. It will not work on Phone’s Hotspot. If one is planning to do so, please do not buy this product.

07Mar2026 First, I want to say that I see some negative reviews that all seem to be from 1-5 years ago. I read through them, after I bought this amazing little device (RM4 Mini) and not one of those things seem to be problematic right now. I'm setting up a Home Assistant (HAOS) "bare metal" (which means, I've installed HAOS on a 3-year old Dell laptop that I have. It has 16GB RAM, an i5-1335U. The very first thing RM4-Mini does upon setup is to update it's firmware. WiFi connection is solid. Not once has it disconnected. Sure, the only downside with this hardware (which is older, yes) is that it doesn't have the ability to connect to 5GHz. Only 2.4GHz. But zero disconnects. As an engineer, I originally wanted something to use as a Universal Remote to replace out old, non-working Logitech Harmony remotes. As I didn't have any information on how to set these up, I engaged Google's Gemini Pro and ChatGPT 5.2 to help me set it up. One thing of note to anyone who wants to use AI to help, I highly recommend to "VERSION LOCK - FAIL CLOSED", listing the current versions of whatever you are using, i.e. HAOS OS: 17.1, Core: 2026.2.3, etc. The reason is, because if you do not version lock the AIs, they will refer to their trained data, which is from 2025 or 2024 and this will NOT work as things change too much. I have found this RM4-Mini to be so much better than I had anticipated. When Scanning the environment, it found all of our TP-Link power outlets (directly, not through the cloud, which is incredible!). It found our Onkyo receiver and made available functions that I didn't even know existed. It found all of our Google Home Assistant displays and even, when permitted, hardware details from our smart phones (let's me see the battery condition). As for some saying that many devices, when operated via the Android app, that may be true, at least at that time, but Broadlink does update their device discovery database. And here's the thing. if you do have a device that is just not listed, you have other options. For one, you can test other devices from that brand and sometimes, even a generic brand might work. But if not, this RM4-Mini has a "Learn" function, which I've had to use in HAOS, since when used within the server, it does not have the ability to gather, automatically, the devices from the web. So you can easily "learn" each button from whatever remote you have. I do recommend this device, but for those who are not afraid to research documentation (or ask the AIs what to do, after locked into the versions of whatever you use). Also, I noticed in the description that it says this uses 2xAAA batteries. That is not true at all. It plugs into a USB cable, which can be from a wall wart. Very easy. Hope this helps.

Con questo ir si comanda praticamente tutto. Basta che si copia il segnele che si vuole inviare ed il gioco è fatto. Si puo configurare con alexa per avere servizi con comandi vocali. Qualità costruttiva buona.
