  The most unreliable thing I have bought in wifi-IR control.. on the contrary, with 17€ you can buy something much more reliable.. I wouldn't recommend it, since there are products on the market at half the price, absolutely reliable

  It captures all RF frequencies but does not work with rolling codes, it captures the frequencies simply because the frequency changes each time, it doesn't work. It has a very good range. For infrared, it should be at least in the same room.

  I had a problem not being able to find its wifi at first, but I did 1-2 resets and found it afterwards, then you follow the steps.

  It takes a little time to get used to the app, it has a widget that you can simply put an icon on your home screen and thus you can quickly perform the action you want without having to enter the app and press it from there.

  Awesome product, it has ready-made profiles from a large number of remote controls, from broadlink or from other users. Also, in case it is not available in the list, the user can practically copy all the remote controls by pressing the buttons one by one (it supports both RF and IR).
  Finally, it has a very small size, like a square sticky note.

  Only 2 downsides:
  A) the wifi needs to be 2.4ghz and not dual 5ghz/2.4ghz, luckily my wifi router supports 4 ssid so I created one just for this.
  B) it does not come with a 5v/1a USB power supply in the package, a small inconvenience but for 30 euros I believe it should have included one even if it costed 1-2 euros more.

  Lastly, it would be good to also purchase the HTS2 cable as it gives it capabilities for scenes based on temperature or humidity.

  Perfect for making "dumb" devices smart, but keep in mind that it cannot copy rolling codes of remote controls in brands like somfy

  Excellent product, worth its money.

  It works perfectly with Siri Shortcuts!

  Negative:

  The app does not show the current status of the devices (whether they are on or off, for example).

  This would be useful when you are away from home remotely.

  On the other hand, it is logical because it ONLY sends IR information - it does NOT receive.

  For this reason, 4 stars.

  Unless someone has found something else and please inform.

  Now either mine is problematic or something is not working correctly or it is generally problematic.

  I spent many hours. I tried everything I found on the internet.
  I even tried IFTTT.

  I quickly connected it to the broadlink app... and the problems started.
  It constantly connects and disconnects (every 2-3 minutes) to the router which is nearby... RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
  The devices sometimes show online and sometimes not.
  Google Home quickly and correctly recognizes the devices from broadlink and then... chaos.
  No matter what you press... rarely... really rarely it works.
  The same happens with IFTTT, it immediately recognizes the devices from broadlink but the command does not work.

  You press ON for the TV from broadlink (if it shows online) and it works normally.
  You press ON for the TV from Google Home... nothing from broadlink. (even though it shows online in the broadlink app)

  Google Home always shows that the RM4 PRO is not functioning.

  The good things...

  It reads every remote control without a problem.
  It has many... really many preset devices.
  It is beautiful... Of course, I could have bought a jar... it would have had almost the same functionality.

  I can't make it work, I gave up and obviously lost my money.
  I have 10 sonoff devices and they work perfectly.

  One star because in the end... it's a star :)

  Two very important issues that show a great deal of carelessness in the design of the software:
  1. It does not accept long passwords or special characters in the passwords of the wifi it connects to, forcing you to reduce the security of your network. Tragic.
  2. If you need to change the ssid name or the password of your wifi, you have to RESET the device - losing all the settings, scenes, and routines you have made. TRAGIC because it essentially forces you to have a weak password that you cannot change.
  And all of this is sent to the broadlink server along with your location, which is mandatory.
  A huge security hole that needs to be fixed.

  I am very satisfied with the product and its infrared capabilities, as well as its RF 433 capabilities (it has good range with two walls intervening, approximately 25 to 30 meters). Also, good wifi signal.

  I have it in the living room with Alexa and I manage the TV, Denon amplifier, air conditioning, and LED strip on the ceiling of the living room. Generally, anything that has a remote control can be managed through Alexa, of course, in basic functions. Unfortunately, I couldn't connect the awning in the yard even though it has a remote control. It makes all the dumb devices with a remote control smart.

  Very good product. It is easy to set up and easily replaces all remote controls. I have set it up with Alexa and it works very well. I highly recommend it for controlling devices that are not Smart.

  Very good device and it performs flawlessly what it promises. What I will mention and is very important is that it cannot copy controllers from SOMFY motors. SOMFY, as well as some other manufacturers of garage doors, etc., have encrypted their frequencies and essentially every time you press the button on the controller, it transmits on a different frequency, so it is impossible to copy.

  I bought it to control the A/C and some RF wireless outlets in my living room through Google Home. (If you don't have RF devices, you can get the cheaper ones from Broadlink).

  It connected easily and controls both the A/C and RF outlets perfectly. Since the device was placed in the living room, I also added the TV without any issues. It even allows you to program extra buttons on the TV if you want, in addition to the basic ones (volume up/down, channel up/down, power on/off).

  On the downside, here are the reasons for giving it 4 stars instead of 5:
  * It doesn't come with a power adapter in the box, only a USB cable. So you need to have your own power adapter to make it work. And okay, you might say, don't you have a spare USB charger? Yes, I do, but it should be mentioned on the box or include a power adapter. It only costs 0.30€.
  * If you don't buy the Broadlink temperature and humidity sensor, the device obviously can't display the room temperature and humidity. There is no problem in the Broadlink app. However, if you use Google Home, two unusable devices (temperature sensor and humidity sensor) appear that you can't delete or do anything with. Okay, it's a minor issue, but as a perfectionist, I mention it. I might not be the only one in the world.
  * There seems to be a problem with the app rather than the hardware. When I turn off the A/C from the app, the app doesn't remember the last state of the A/C. So if you had it in heat mode and low fan speed when you turned it off, when you go to turn it on again, the A/C turns on in cooling mode, auto fan speed, and the flap moves. Strangely, Google Home remembers the last mode (heating) and last fan speed, but it starts moving the flap up and down even though I had it fixed in one position.
  I have sent an email to Broadlink, and if they respond, I will update.

  I use it to manage all my remote controls through Amazon Alexa and it works perfectly without any disconnections.

  The device can also learn remote controls that we have without knowing the manufacturer. I had absolutely no problem with any remote control I connected to it.

  edit:
  After 3 years, there hasn't been a single disconnection of the device with daily use

  It works with everything, does everything. It synchronizes with all the remote controls for blinds, curtains, etc. With a little patience for setting it up through Alexa, IFTTT, you can simply talk throughout the whole house.

  Fantastic product to turn traditional devices into smart ones and control them from your mobile phone.

  Basic information so you don't have to search: Buy whatever Broadlink version you find cheaper. The RM2/3/4 are hardware versions with insignificant differences. They do exactly the same job, they have the same reliability. They all control devices that operate with infrared remote controls. Buy the PRO/+ versions only if you are interested in controlling RF devices (e.g. garage doors and 433 MHz alarms). In this case only, I recommend going straight to the RM4 PRO (the square one) which supports an additional RF frequency.

  It supports ready-made remote controls for the most common devices, but you can also program your own buttons, like the Cosmote TV in the picture that I made. Download the Broadlink Universal Control app and not the older ones like IHC, IHC Europe, e-Control. Search for it thoroughly, it has very good capabilities for automation on its own. It shows different remote controls depending on the device (air conditioner, TV, IPTV, lamp, etc.). Of course, things get even more interesting when you connect the Broadlink to Google Assistant or Alexa, where everything is controlled by voice commands. Also, with IFTTT for more complex automations.
