Broadlink Smart Home Hub, RM Mini3 Smart Wi-Fi IR Universal Remote Control, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Only, One for All Infrared Controller – Black

A simple yet effective tool for your Alexa smart control home.
Only downside is the supplied lead, which is quite short. The device is easy to set up and works well for turning on/off devices and turning up/down the volume. Some features, like changing the channel, don’t necessarily respond. This is dependent on the remote you are using being specifically recognised by the Broadlink app. For example my LG t.v responds via Alexa because Broadlink app recognises LG t.v. On the other hand, my freeview box is Bush, which isn’t in the list of Broadlink app recognised manufacturers. Nevertheless, you can easily programme your remote into the device, which will operate the none officially recognised device, in my case the Bush freeview, via the Broadlink app. Most functions of my t.v can be controlled via Alexa. The Bush Freeview via Alexa is on/off, volume up and down, which for me is good enough because as I have mentioned, you can control all functions via the app.One last consideration, whichever devices you want to control, in my case, t.v, freeview and stereo, the RM Mini3 has to have an unobstructed line of sight with the IR sensor on the device it is controlling. This is why in my opinion the suppled lead is too short as it limits where you can mount the Mini3, which might not give the unobstructed line of sight I made mention of. In my case, I simply used some double sided tape to stick it under a wall mounted speaker, bought a 3m lead for ï¿¡6, which would reach to the plug and bingo.

Refuses to connect when adding a new device
At first all went well, even though it coped well finding Samsung TV, Yamaha AV and Humax Freeview, it was a pain to set up. Once working it was fine, though Alex could only handle basic commands, such as turn tv on, change channel on TV, she was unable to do anything with the Yamaha AV and would only turn on Freeview box.Decided after a couple of days to add a New AV device (Sony), and the nightmare begins, to add device you have to put it in pairing mode, then all of a sudden it can no longer find Network, even if it was sitting 2 inches away from router, no matter what I did it wold no longer connect.Emailed support for help 5 days ago, still awaiting for some form of response from themDecided it was no longer worth the effort and binned itGood if it worked, but utter rubbish when it does not, and Broadlink support is the worst I have come across in a long time.

Was wel even knutselen met een 2,4ghz netwerk aangezien ik die niet heb. Maar eenmaal verbonden kon ik snel alle knoppen van de afstandbedieningen instellen. Werkt ook goed met Google Assistent.

I bought this device to have a smart infra red control over the TV and led light.I have 2 routers with 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz at home. The reco.endation from broadlink , during installation to have only one router on with 2.4Ghz only. I tried to do a connection without 5g disable and second router off. And I did it. There is 2 way ,how to install the device. The first smart mode doesn’t work for me. The second mode, AP mode, was better. After reset , modes are swapping. So in AP mode , device create wifi signal, I connected to the broadlink wifi ,start adding a new device ,connect to 2.4Ghz internet network from configuration and just after turned off from broadlink wifi and connect to my home internet wifi,and it is works! Little be complicated. Also to press the reset you need metal needle,like for the sim cart. Charger not included. But after complicated installation everything is clear. Easy to add devices,alexa immediately recognize the devices. All works fine. So Iam still really recommend to buy this device. I ordered 2 more.
