Se integra muy bien con las cortinas y alexa o google home

Easy way to get an IR controlled device onto a smart home or set a schedule. Pairing took a couple tries but once set up it's worked well. Easy to use the app to learn remote commands. I'm only using the Broadlink scheduling feature, haven't tried connecting to Google or Alexa yet.

Tried setup using my iphone 13 pro max. Downloaded broadlink app. It kept getting stuck at recognizing device. Tried for about 2hours. Based on online reviews, switched and used ipad instead and it worked immediately. Also read online if your wifi has special chars in password, it might not work. Mapped my projector screen and inturn I am able to control via alexa. Tried connecting my denon receiver avr-x6700h, it didnt work. May be I am missing something or this isnt meant for that.

-----------------------------------update 4/19/2020 ----------------- The link to Alexa completely failed and I had to disconnect the skill, delete all the devices and try to re-add them. This is just not a solid product. I'd recommend looking at alternatives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I saw this as a way of integrating those "odd remotes", the stand-alone islands in our smart home ecosystem, and it almost does this. Feel free to skip to the Summary and pros/cons if you just want the bottom-line. The first challenge was getting it hooked up, it literally took me 10 times to get the remote paired. I don't know why. I don't know what I did differently to finally make it work. I just followed the same process over and over. Tip: Make sure you're on the 2.4 network in your house when you try to pair and make sure you know your WIFI password. (Neither of these were the issue I ran into, like I said, I don't know why it took so many tries, but this seems to be a theme.) Also, make sure you locate the receiver close to your router as it's WIFI connection is not great. Then there's the support number: 40-4476-4482 (it's actually 1 (404)476-4482, but apparently no one told them how Americans prefer to specify phone numbers.) They are there for you 24 hours a day but only Monday through Friday, no weekends. I also tried emailing, but that didn't work either because it thought I was spamming them (The mail system <[email protected]>: host mxbiz1.qq.com[203.205.232.191] said: 550 Mail content denied.) Once I got the remote up, I was able to hook the TV (Set Top Box/STB) up to it. For "known brands" there are templates for the controls. Unfortunately, because services like the XFINITY remote allow you to combine your set top box and TV onto one remote, the process for picking the template does not work. The on/off that operates the set top box will not operate your TV. It's very confusing.... I actually had no desire to use ECHO to control channels but I was hoping for an ON/Off, after a couple tries I got it to learn the combined STB and TV codes from my X1 remote. "Perfect!" I thought, then I added it to my "LIVING ROOM OFF" routine that shuts off all the lights in the living room and turns off the fireplace. I thought I could have it turn off the TV at the same time, but forgot that the power control on TV's is a toggle, if it's on, it turns it off, if it's off, it turns it on, so the routine worked well in the evening after watching the news, everything turned off. In the morning, however, after coffee and listening to some music, when I issued the "turn off living room" command, the TV turned ON. This is not a failing of Broadlink, it's simply the way TV and STB remotes work. I also thought I could get my bedroom fireplace remote to work with ALexa using this, but the RF frequency is 308Mhz, way outside of the RF range of 432.5MHz-436.3MHz supported by Broadlink. Similarly, I tried to get my ceiling fan to respond, with no luck. Looking into forums devoted to home automation this seems to be a common theme with Broadlink. It will support newer remotes, but not older style remotes because of the frequency issue. I was however able to get it to control my deck sun-shade shade, which is simply a dumb RF remote. You basically control "odd gadgets" like this using the "Lightbulb" option and program on/off to mean something (I used that to control the shade - if it's On, the shade will close, if it's OFF, the shade will open). I have Leviosa shades on my windows so I can now raise and lower the deck shade shade along with the Leviosa shades via Alexa Routines. When I command "shades up" or "shades down" the Leviosa AND the stand-alone deck sun shade both operate. We have them go down a little before noon and then up at 4 minutes before sunset so we can enjoy it, so worth it right there. Tip: You may need to insert a WAIT into your Alexa routine after issuing a command to one of the Broadlinked items. It's a bit finicky at times and I noticed that it sometimes takes a couple tries to get it to "learn". I found that taking the the Broadlink unit and the remote you want to train and camping out just next to the router seems to help. You can then move the Broadlink unit back to it's home (ie, the WIFI is not so great). I also noticed that you need to click the SAVE button after training, or the sequence will not be committed to the button. The UI is not the best. It is also NOT capable of controlling my overhead fan, which I suspect is on an odd frequency, so check your frequency ranges ahead of time. Tip: If you're not sure if your remote is Infrared (IR) or Radio Frequency (RF), do this: Stick the remote in your pocket and click the on/off. If it works, it's RF, if it doesn't, it's IR. Tip: Read the screen, if you see a [SAVE] button, make sure you've hit it before you leave the screen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary For $39, it's not a bad solution to integrate some of those "stand-alone" remotes you might have around the house, for instance, if you had a room AC you wanted to control or a (more modern) fan. Pros: - can integrate even off-brand remotes via learning the IR or RF codes - Integrates to Alexa - Can operate RF throughout the house from one unit Cons: - Only operates on 2.4 GHZ WIFI (and then only when it's close to the Router) - Cannot control older standard ceiling fan and fireplace remotes - Subject to the constraints of the protocol (ie, there is no separate ON and OFF for stuff like TV's and Set Top Boxes) - UI is odd and strange ( oriental characters and options, even though I told them I was in the US, no warning when you leave a screen that you'll lose all your work, etc.) - No weekend support - Support email does not work (for me) - Multiple versions of the Alexa skill - IR range is limited to the current room it's in - RF range is limited 432.5MHz-436.3MHz Recommendation: For $39 it's not a bad investment, but with the limitations and the finicky and sometimes messy user interface, be prepared for some "sharp edges" - early adopters - have a ball!

My expectations for this device were VERY low but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how easy it’s been to setup and how powerful it is. My situation involved a projector and amp on a IR remote and a motorized projector screen on an RF remote. Once I got the surprisingly small device setup on my network (which was a little tricky since I skimmed the instructions, be sure to read closely and join the devices WiFi network!) I was quickly able to connect all three devices, program those remotes that were missing, and setup some automated flows to turn my whole setup on and off. I only wish it could also control my PlayStation! The remote learning capabilities were very easy to use. My only fear is that the app will eventually become unsupported rendering the device useless but until then it makes movie night much easier. My only real criticism is that sharing your “home” configuration with other users can be a bit cumbersome. They’ll each have to download the app, login to a profile, then scan a short lived QR code from a preconfigured device. That makes sharing this with visitors impossible though I suppose you could set it up with a living room iPad or something?

The setup process was horrible and took multiple hours. Eventually, I was able to get it working with the new Broadlink app via my iPad and now it works on my iPhone as well, even though setup initially would not complete on my phone. I had to turn on 2.4ghz only mode on my eero to get it to work. I don’t think there’s any rhyme or reason, because I tried this approach multiple times and had issues. I probably had to attempt to set this up 20 times. Once it’s set up however, it works great. If you’re willing to suffer through the setup I think it’s a worthwhile buy for your smart home if you have “dumb” devices you want to control via IR, especially for under $20.

I bought the Broadlink Mini 3 to automatically start and stop my rear screen video projector for Halloween and Christmas projection show in my front window. I bought this device not really knowing if it would actually do the desired job. I was happy to learn that this IR blaster allowed me to connect a non-listed video projector and map all the IR remote control buttons to the Mini 3. From there, I was able to define 2 "scenes"; one to turn on the projector, wait 10 seconds for it to boot up, then define the button sequence to start the desired video from a USB thumbdrive. The other scene turns off the video projector with transmission of 2 button presses of the power button. Each of these "scenes" are started independently at a specific time every day. Once setup, the Broadlink iPhone app is pretty intuitive. Also, the "scenes" are saved to the cloud thus you do not have to have your phone or app running for the automation to work. However, the only setup "hiccup" I ran into was not knowing what "type of device" is the Mini 3 considered in the app. In the Broadlink app, the mini3 is considered a "remote control". From there you can scroll down and find the Mini 3 and complete the setup configuration. I did not need to configure this to Alexa or Google so no feedback on that. Also note there is a power cable provided but there is NOT a power block to plug in the wall.

I’m a fan of broadLink devices, I have various remote controls and buttons throughout my house. I opted to go with this particular device because of its size and price point, I simply needed a way to control a tv with Alexa and BroadLink buttons. I had to go this route since no matter how I named the firesticks in the house, Alexa always turned the living room tv off which is connected to our harmony hub. For $20, it’s well worth its weight in gold. Set up was a breeze and the remote easily found my tv. Alexa integration was also a breeze since I already had BroadLink enabled. I created a routine to where we can either control our tv with the app, Alexa or the BroadLink button. I’m a huge fan of the buttons, we have four sets already and I plan on buying more. I’m a button pusher so being able to control multiple things with a push of a button is amazing!

Oh, I like home automation and once I found this device existed, I needed to try it out. At first I was just going to use it to turn of some holiday string lights I put up that came with a remote. I was able to install the Broadlink into home assistant which is my preferred home automation software. I trained the Broadlink with the remote on/off of the string lights and every day at the same time all my holiday lights were on. I also had a time and all the lights would go off. This was perfect as the string lights were battery powered and I believe this was saving battery life as prior I would forget and leave the lights on all night and would need to change the batteries more often. Once I did this I wanted to automate our electric fireplace. My wife likes the ambiance of the fireplace, so I programmed the on and the off and now it too gives us a nice light when we sit on the couch at night watching a movie or a show. I also don't have to remember to shut it off as it is automated to do so. Now I am looking at other things I can automate with the IR remote. If you are into automation and like this kind of tinkering this is something you should look into getting.

For some reason Broadlink has several apps in the (Android) app store. It's not intuitively obvious which to use for the RM Mini 3 or any Universal Remote. *** Use the Intelligent Home Center (IHC) app. *** With this device and app you can create what it calls "scenes" which are a series of remote commands like "home button" + "right button" + "enter button". If you can execute a series of remote button clicks to do something you can make a scene of it. On my Samsung (RU9000), "home+right+enter" is "switch to xbox" and "home+right+right+enter" is "switch to Roku". All of that is warm up testing. My ultimate plan is to use this in with my mother's TV and Spectrum cable box to be able to change inputs, volume, and channels when I visit next month. She constantly loses remotes, can't see the buttons, or lacks the finger strength to use these stupid cable company remotes. She can talk to Alexa though. However, since cable boxes are generally crap and all work a little differently, I don't know if it'll work. I'll update later. One tip: If you use the wrong app and create scenes in it, then delete all of them before moving to the IHC app. The Alexa skill saw scenes created from both apps and did not work until found all of them, deleted them and recreated them only in the IHC app. * Update 9/20/23 * Works OK with the Spectrum cable box. Scenes can be used to do a complex function with some occasional slip ups. For example a scene "fast forward button, wait 20 seconds, play button" will usually work, but sometimes instead of play the cable box will go to slow motion. That is probably because the cable box is interpreting the play button signal as two play button signals in a row. Another example is a scene that inputs a channel number will sometimes miss or double a number. Generally works well though.
