RM4-MINI

I would highly recommend getting one for each room if you live in a country like the UAE. It works with any air conditioner as long as it has a remote control and the best part is that you can turn your AC on remotely. Often when I'm out I would make sure I turn my AC 30 minutes before I come home. It also works well with Alexa and Google home if you use any of those smart home solutions

Very happy with the purchase, everything is great, the price, the size & works just fine to replace all your remote controls and turning your devices to smart ones. The IR signal is strong in the “mini” and it is working great. Highly recommend!

SO FAR, IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING GOOD. NEAT LITTLE PIECE

Our house has a rather dumb airco system. Using the RM4, and the separate temperature and humidity sensor, we can automate it all via the App. It is nice to see that this unit doesn't require a separate smart hub. Recommended!

تقدر تشغل المكيف من خارج البيت ملاحظة لازم يكون شابك على الواي فاي و الكهرباء عشان تقدر من خلال التطبيق الخاص بالجهاز تتحكم فيه من اي مكان في العالم

Item damaged piece Not working at all

RM4 is working well with broadlink app but RM4 is not showing in ihc app to pair, ihc app is required to working with Google home assistant and RM4 is not compatible with ihc app. Not able use with Google home.

Great device which makes any remote control devices to become smart

We bought a sensibo and one of these to compare. The out-of-box experience with the Sensibo was MUCH better. But after a month of use, these BroadLink devices are far more useful in a so-called "smart home" environment. We were able to leverage HomeBridge, to make our multi-head mini-split heat pumps (three pumps, 6 heads) work as a single unit (or as zoned units) to heat and cool our home. "Siri cool upstairs" or "Siri warm upstairs" and all the units just work. It does take some time to feed the remote settings into the RM4 mini, and it requires a bunch of JSON configuration parameters (so not for the less-technical), but it works and it works well. Also, when you compare the price of other units, I'll take the $35 and the ability to use a local-only connection thank you.

Model: Broadlink RM4 Mini Bought this to replace the function of a remote control. This review is based on the product being used just as a remote control via the App on the phone. (for smart home functions please look at other reviews) For those wondering this is a little USB powered device which works as following: Phone>App>WiFi>Broadlink>Air conditioner. When on sale for $29.99 this is fantastic value. The box it came in was smaller than expected, the entire product was smaller than I thought but I guess it only needs space for just a WiFi antenna and a IR transmitter. Product includes a decently long flat USB cable which is good quality. NO USB power adapter is included, I just use a 5V 1amp Apple USB phone charger and it works fine. It was quite simple to setup following the instructions. Had to go through a process of holding down the reset button on the product for a specific length of time with a toothpick to put the Broadlink RM4 Mini into the correct mode. All of this was quite simple as you go back and forth between the App instructions and included printed instructions. Once up and running it was a easy process to add the Samsung Air Conditioner to the remote App. There were 3 most common options and you can test each before proceeding. AC fully functioned with the 1st option. I set it up across the room initially, but had issues sometimes when you stand between the Broadlink and the AC unit blocking the IR signal. After I moved the Broadlink to below the AC unit on a cabinet and now it works all the time. Also remember to remove the clear plastic which is on the unit as it can also cause issues with the IR signal. App is simple and easy to use. Open the App then tap on the Airconditioner. All the functions are there, more functions are hidden in the "more" section but the most commonly used settings are on the first page and easy to access. It works flawlessly and there is absolutely no delay between tapping the touch screen on your phone and the Airconditioner responding. Works just as well as the original Samsung remote, and even better since you don’t have to point the phone at the AC. It is connected with WiFi so it even works from the next room. Very satisfied with the product. It is small, simple in design and just works. I have read some other reviews saying the process of adding it to a Smart Assistant is a bit more complicated, but I have no experience in that part of the setup. As a simple device which turns your Phone into a AC Remote this product is great. USB powered so consumes very little energy, and probably cheaper in cost than a replacement remote for a Airconditioner. Also never have to worry about changing flat remote batteries thanks to USB power. Extra info: The "Mini" model is IR (Infra-red) only. The "Pro" model is IR and RF (Radio Frequency). RM3 is the older model, and RM4 is the newer model. I think all models have a alternate version which includes a “Temperature & Humidity sensor”. This alternate version may be preferred by some for automatic "Smart Home" function. Our Airconditioner used IR remote so we only needed the "Mini" model. You can tell if your remote is IR by the LED on the top of the remote. If you block the LED with your finger and try turning the AC on the remote should not work.

Crap. Cant connect. Cant reset. Inconsistent. Stay far away. Please take it back

This device is a fantastic addition to my smart home setup. It was easy to set up and works perfectly for controlling all my IR devices. It has made managing my electronics so much more convenient. Highly recommend if you want to modernize your home control!

It works very well, it wasn't easy to install
