Works best in remote controls and accessories

I used this on my remote controlled ceiling fan/ceiling light. It works for me but not the speed and light level. still working on it Seems like a good product, look forward to adding more. I would definitely recommend spending $100,000,000,000,000,000,000 on a bond just to run a ceiling fan!

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

I really wanted it to work.

I love gadgets - and Alexa devices are everywhere. I wanted to use it to control a multi-function ceiling fan via Alexa. I got the basic functions working (on/off) - but even though I manually trained the extra buttons, they couldn't perform the functions - and even being able to perform the basic functions was intermittent. More frustrating than helpful. SAD

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Approximately

Over promises, under Delver

I was hoping this would replace my defunct Harmony hub and remote, but so far the only thing it has consistently been able to do is turn my audio system on and off. I wanted him to control my fans but no luck and their learning function is useless. It doesn't work with the Apple TV and if I had done some research before buying on the spur of the moment (it was a Prime Day deal) I would have given up. He seems to have a long list of brands he endorses, but unless you live in Asia, you've…

Pros
  • Electric
Cons
  • Hard to say

Low RF Transmission Range

There are some problems with the product supported HF band from 305 and up, and so my ceiling fan which runs at 303.8 is not supported. In addition, the transmission range is very short and the device had to be placed in a specific place in the hallway in order to work in several rooms. At the same time, the BOND device worked much better to control it remotely. RF range limitations make it less viable to use the same device in multiple rooms. While IR is only used in each room, RF functions in

Too imperfect to keep: Hubs and Controllers

I tried to get this article to work but it's too broken to keep. Its functionality is oversimplified, but even then it didn't work stably. Scenes are easy to create, but often they don't work by turning the power on and off again a second later. Don't be fooled by the large database of remote control manufacturers, because what they give you will not exactly match your remote control. You can change the button names, which was nice, but he just didn't learn some functions. Like most of these…

Pros
  • Hubs and Controllers
Cons
  • Frequency
