🏠 Enhanced Broadlink RM Mini 3 WiFi Smart Home Hub: IR Automation Learning Universal Remote Control with Alexa Compatibility Review

**TL;DR great product works fine as expected but don't buy if we want to control Alexa via RF* * I bought a Black Bean which is a RM Mini 3 for IR control and it works great. Perfect integration with Alexa. So I buy this product with the assumption that it will work with both IR and RF capabilities. But it turns out that only older models can do this. **THIS IS NOT A CORRECT MODEL FOR RF CONTROL WITH ALEXA**. A great and wonderful product that is missing one part, which is radio frequency. (PS…

There is an old app on this device that seems to work fine, BUT IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ALEXA! There's also a new app on this device that claims to be compatible with Alexa, but this new app won't work unless you give it permissions that you don't have rights to. j. The new application needs access to the IMEI of your phones for "identification". People who sell phones don't publish IMEI for some reason, it's very dangerous. You can clone your phone. The new app requires permission on your…

Pros: Hardware works exactly as expected. I had no trouble connecting it to my 2.4GHz network and after that it's a combination of nominal branded turnkey support and fairly effective learning on your existing remotes. I was able to identify most of my devices from their database and program my dehumidifier (to turn it off when I use my home theater and turn it back on when I turn the theater off) and a cheap HDMI switch with IR remote is limited and neither complete homemade nor completely…

Works best for turning the device on and off, I've had no luck with other functions. In fact, on/off is the only Alexa integration I use. Setting up my Samsung Wall Mounted Air Conditioner with my phone through the unit works, but it interferes with the display remote. I know this is most likely a Samsung issue, but it's still annoying. Also pay attention to the position of the buttons on your other devices, e.g. B. the fan. My spinning fan has an odd remote control layout (the on button is…

I bought this with great enthusiasm to reduce the number of remote devices from a dozen or more to just one. I bought it a few months ago and just this week I finally finished the cave I built. Today I was very frustrated as I plugged it in and tried to connect to my devices: First there was a GE AC device but to no avail; Next came a HarborBreeze dimmable ceiling fan, but again it didn't work, next came my entire set of LED strips, of course it didn't work. Finally, I thought, I'll try my…

#tldr This product comes with not one but two poorly designed applications coupled with a lack of well translated documentation making this product all but useless to anyone other than enthusiasts and stubborn people. Investing several hours and considerable online research, trial and error did not lead to victory. Challenge: I'm trying to add an outdated, not-so-smart RF-controlled blind to my smart home. It's a Motivia shade from Smith and Noble, which is a perfectly fine product, except…
