hi Guys (and Girls),
found interesting and cheap gadget:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000340292227.html
I just want to know if with this kind of gadget i will be able to set few actions for one device and activate them all with just one google voice command?
for example when i say "hey google, go to movie mode" then it will make my tv go to its menu, go down two times go to the right one time, press ok (select) on the media server menu, then increase volume 1 step, change brightness, etc.
or this device can only do one action for each devices? (ie turn on tv, turn on a/c, turn off light)?
i heard i can achieve what i want with Logitech harmony hub (but it cost much more than this)?
thank you.

This Blitzwolf branded Remote IR Controller is a relative newcomer to this market. Have a look at Broadlink devices used for the same purpose and you will be able find heaps of information and support forums as they have been around for ages and has a much larger user base and I'd assume the Broadlink App to be more stable and functional. These essentially are LAN connected IR transmitters so all devices to be controlled have to be in the same room with unobstructed line of sight.
