These are good and can be taught to use Google home
How did u get this to work with Google home
Set them up as lights and connected the home to the broadlink intelligent home centre app. Then painstakingly made scenes for each of my commands. Took a while but it works now. I can turn on my aircon, xbox, TV and sound bar all at once. Currently the only strategy of you suck at networking and coding.
Can they be controlled by Amazon Echo Plus?
I thought I read it only works if you are in the USA. Hopefully someone else can confirm
just get google home, confirmed working
US$12.34 if you don't need RF transmission

I've got these controlling my reverse cycle A/C units, TV, DVD, Amp etc
I’ve got one too but I can’t het it to work properly with my Mitsubishi Electric A/C. It can learn the basic functions one by one but it doesn’t get recognised automatically(can’t have the fancy A/C remote layout)
Me too. My Mitsubishi Electric AC power code is recognised, but when trying to use it, it turns the AC on, but it doesn't open the vent or cool. I had to manually set up my favourite settings (eg, cool 24, auto fan) and assign a button to that, rather than being able to use mode and temp up and down controls.
Edit: This is with an RM Mini 3
RM Mini 3 works fine with my ME air con unit.
Selected manufacturer then it was the 29 out of 30 one that worked.
@whatisk: Thanks. I'll give that a go. I didn't know we could select a manufacturer; I've only used the auto recognition based on pressing a button on the remote.
I only tried manufacturer as every time I tried using the automated method I would get an error saying server timeout or something so had to go that path.
@whatisk: what app are you using? IHC?
UPDATE! IT WORKS! i had to go to Add appliance/Air conditioner/Mitsubishi and then "no remote". It was the code 29 out of 30!
Thank you whatisk
Awesome! Glad you got it working :) Sorry for my lack of detail as to which app, etc.
Now what you can do if you have a Google Home is add IHC into there and control via voice. I set up a couple of scenes for what I wanted. Eg: turn on air con and set to 24 degrees cool, turn off air con, etc
@GregFiona: I've been using e-control, which doesn't appear to have the option to add devices manually. I couldn't get IHC to find my Boardlink RM Mini 3 device.
@puffinfresh: My RM Mini 3 appears normally on IHC. I was using e-control too but I switched to IHC for Google Home compatibility
How does this compare to Xiaomi version> https://www.lightinthebox.com/xiaomi-universal-ir-remote-con…
As far as I know, the Xiaomi is only infrared (IR). OP's link also handles things based on RF (radio signals).
Thats a shame as would be nice to have all xiaomi gear
Of course it depends what you're trying to control. The only RF device in my home is my garage door. I must have close to a dozen IR devices scattered around the home for which the xiaomi device would be fine (as is the cheaper rm3 mini that I linked above).
@asa79: if you decide to give the broadlink a try, I'll be interested how it goes. I've got a couple of'ancient' ceiling fans that I'll need to replace in the next few years and had been wondering how I might be able to connect them into my home automations. It hadn't occurred to me that newer fans might be RF.
I have an aldi light/fan controlled by 433MHz remote….. would this work as I have 5 and each remote only work with each fan/light (naturally)
I know it does RF but are you saying that it confirms it does the Aldi fan on the product page? Cause there is nothing about specific models there that I can see….(Brilliant Lighting / Casalife in particular)
It has a learning mode. I don't have an Aldi fan to test it specifically, but it 'should' work. There are no fan categories in the app, so you would have to use the learning mode anyway.
I couldn't get it working on my generic 433Mhz power points.
plus my Evaporative AC remote.
I can’t set mine up for RF- doesn anyone know how? Trying to get it to control my garage door
A lot of garage doors use rolling codes in which case it won't work with this. Same problem for my gate :(
Most modern garage door uses a rolling security code, that's why it doesn't work
You can't copy a rolling-code remote which your garage door probably is. There's some discussion about adding another receiver in a previous post.
what kind of things use RF? im trying to see if i need RF and if this one has anything different compared to the non RF one
If you have to point the remote at the device for it to work (like a TV remote), it's IR. If you can keep it in your pocket and it still works (like a car remote), it's RF.
It won't work with all RF remotes though. It can't emulate a rolling-code remote, like what's usually used on garage doors.
Some TV remotes these days are bluetooth, so it can be used in your pocket, but isn't RF.
You're right, although technically Bluetooth runs on RF. ;)
My dishwasher has an RF remote. It's an integrated dishdrawer, so there's no buttons accessible from the outside. The remote allows me to pause mid-cycle and open the drawer. I can't see myself needing to do that via my phone/voice/internet. However, I hear this integrates with Google Assistant while my RM Mini 3 does not (directly).
Anyone know the difference between the RM Pro and RM Pro+?
Yeah the Plus model doesn't have the temperature sensor.
The plus has less?
Haha yeah. Its more of a plus for them cost wise I suppose.
Yup, had to order the Pro a few days before at full price. :(
Seems to be back up to $28.49 USD?
I have ceiling fans which have RF remotes. I wanted to control the fans with google home, therefore bought it.It does not learn the RF very well. I tried using other RF remotes like the one for my theatre screen, it did not learn that either. I am just using it for IR remotes and it does work beautifully with google home (easy set up), though I did not buy it for that purpose. Does anyone know a device which will link my ceiling fans to google home (Lucia remote from beacon lighting)?
Thanks
The deal looks like it expired as back up to $37
This is the best one right?
