Ideal for infrared devices

I use Apple HomeKit to control infrared devices and it works fine. It was a bit difficult to understand how Mighty Wave works. But once I get used to it, I can touch the sensor on top of the MightRC to turn devices on or off. I also use it to control RF remote controlled outlets. Works like clockwork!

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Not sure

Doesn't actually have a homekit

It works in the MightyRC app although the connection can be slow at times. The reason for the 2 stars is because they claim to work with Apple HomeKit, but that doesn't work unless you have an Android device running as a hub in the background. If you're in the Apple ecosystem like me, this becomes useless as I don't have Android devices so can't use Homekit. This is a silly problem and I wish they would update it to work on Homekit without an Android device.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • is embarrassing

Not HomeKit Compatible

This is heavily advertised as fully HomeKit compatible, don't be fooled it's only HomeKit compatible if you run their hack app on your Android device. This lowers the security of your HomeKit network and can easily lead to a vulnerability and possibly stop working if Apple updates the protocol. The Mayyrc app itself is a trainwreck due to the poor UI and poor translations. The device itself works perfectly, just a pity that the software is so bad and the advertising is misleading.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • No paint required
