    Thanks OP. Grabbed one to experiment with.

    Keen on getting an RM Pro+ also for the RF learning…hopefully coupon soon.

    Would like to use these with Home Assistant.

      FYI before you get the RM Pro+ for RF learning, etc - check first that your remotes don't use rolling codes.

      I purchased an RM Pro+ with the intent of it being able to control (via HA) my electronic curtains (I have 3) and also an electric outdoor awning I have - however it turned out that both of my systems use remotes with rolling codes and thus can't be learnt/controlled by the Broadlink.

        Thanks!

        Most of my remotes are the 4-button type with fixed codes. I have an Arduino-based home automation system where I've learnt the codes and it has an RF transmitter module. Works but range is problematic.

        I have an RF remote for my blinds but I've just soldered wires from the Arduino IO onto a spare remote rather than learning the codes. It will be interesting to see if the RM Pro+ can learn them or not.

        I'm looking to replace the Arduino system with a Raspberry Pi 3 running HA. Just acquiring parts at the moment.

  • Kontiki on 16/03/2018 - 17:16

    Thanks, I got one. Does it support Google Home/IFTTT?

    • particle on 16/03/2018 - 17:46

      It supports Google Home, by going to the Home Control tab of the Google Home app, and adding Broadlink Smart Home as a new device after configuring the Broadlink IHC app. This method is the easiest way to get started with voice control with limits: in the IHC app, devices must be added as a light to turn them on or off (eg I have a light called "dining air con", so I can tell Google to turn off the dining air con). Also, control of devices must be added as scenes (eg create a scene called "low cooling in the dining room" so you can tell Google to activate low cooling in the dining room).

      More advanced/unrestricted use can be done thru IFTTT and HA, eg if you didn't want to use the "activate" keyword, or if you want to automatically turn the air con on from other triggers, such as based on current room temp with motion activation etc.

      • Sinchan on 16/03/2018 - 18:42

        Hi, I tried to link with Google assistant with Broadlink smart home, but fail. It stopped on login page to connect Broadlink and can't put it user id or password to connect them. My IHC is working fine.
        Do you have any idea to this error? i have tried to reset, etc, but still no luck. thanks

          I'm wondering if it has something to do with the browser that the login page opened up in. When the login page comes up are you able to open it in another browser and try it that way?

          Here's a youtube video i found of someone doing the login process which i think matches what you're doing?

          thanks Mate, how stupid i am, it actually shows radio button that you need to click. i click all over beside that unsuspected radio button.
          it works now. cheers

  • Kunny on 16/03/2018 - 18:00

    Can someone briefly explain what this does? Thanks!

      It acts as a replacement/companion for the RF remote control for your TV/Receiver/Hifi/Fan/AirCon etc. You can program your various remote controls into it and use the smartphone app to initiate the commands. You can also pair it with Google Home etc. to enable spoken commands. I use one to allow Google Assistant to turn on/off my dumb TV.

        This is IR only, not RF though.

        • zappy32 on 16/03/2018 - 22:11

          As an example I mostly use mine to turn my AC/Heater on and off. I don't have a steady schedule so it's easier to just load the app on my phone and turn the heating on when I get on the tram so when I get home it's warm without wasting 4 hours of heating a leaky rental or walking in to a cold home.

          My bad! You're right - I got RF and IR confused!

    It can let you control your TV, Xbox, bluray, air cons and other IR devices with a voice assistant, or your mobile phone or home automation systems.

    Edit: oops forgot to hit reply to the comment above.

  • Master Haggler on 16/03/2018 - 18:31

    Got one recently. It doesn’t work on the standard foxtel box. The Broadlink transmits but no response from the box.

    • pete123 on 16/03/2018 - 18:53

      It works for me with an IQ2 box.

      • Master Haggler on 16/03/2018 - 18:57

        Mine is just the basic SD box

        • XeKToReX on 18/03/2018 - 13:47

          They all use the same remote/IR codes so it should be fine.

        • XeKToReX on 18/03/2018 - 15:02

          @XeKToReX:

          Follow up.. doesn't work with Foxtel.

    • whichtyler on 17/03/2018 - 11:14

      I don't have Foxtel so can't vouch for this but I seem to recall reading that the issue is because the new Foxtel remotes are Bluetooth. Supposedly the actual units can still receive the standard IR signals so if you can borrow one of the older remotes from someone you should be able to program the BroadLink with it.

      • Master Haggler on 17/03/2018 - 15:10

        I have the harmony one remote programmed to the foxtel box but still can’t use that to program the Broadlink

  • pull the lever on 16/03/2018 - 23:07

    Thanks op picked one for experimenting

  • churchado on 17/03/2018 - 09:38

    Are the only differences between this and the pro+ that it doesn't do RF and doesn't have a power plug?

    • sky blu on 17/03/2018 - 09:40

      And price.

      • churchado on 17/03/2018 - 09:41

        Ah yes, that too of course. Same app?

        • churchado on 17/03/2018 - 09:47

          Also, can anyone who has one tell me if someone has added in the cloud a remote for a Yamaha HTR-5630 AV receiver? My remote's power on switch doesn't work anymore so I wouldn't be able to train the box I assume.

          @churchado: From memory, there is no database of IR codes. But, you can convert codes available on the web. This way you can also add discrete ON and OFF codes which are not available on the original remote.

          You might find your codes here.
          http://www.remotecentral.com/

        • churchado on 17/03/2018 - 20:12

          @Major Mess: Thanks. I'd seen a Youtube video where someone was showing that you could search in the app remote setups that other users had previously created - thereby saving you the hassle of having to create your own, so was wondering whether there might be one there from someone for my AV receiver. Not sure about codes..couldn't see much on that site.

  • [Deactivated] on 17/03/2018 - 11:32

    Anyone tested this with Home Assistant?

    • Pangit99 on 17/03/2018 - 13:34

      I've got the RM Pro working with HA and have just ordered one of these. It is a supported devide in HA so you just have to add a few lines in your config file, but getting the codes into HA is a bit tricky. I found the best way is to use the app to learn the codes first, then there is a Python script that will dump them all into YAML.

      • Major Mess on 17/03/2018 - 17:52

        Why not just use HA? It is simple. Hit the button, then copy the code from the HA web page.
