Review:
The BroadLink RM4 pro Smart Remote and Sensor Cable Set is a great device that allows you to control both IR and RF controlled appliances with your smartphone. It has a large IR database that covers 98% of IR remote functions and can learn your remote controller if the appliance model is not available. It also supports external sensors and can be integrated with Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT for hands-free voice control. With the ability to create multiple timers and scenes, families can share the remote with each other via invite and join function in the app. However, it only works on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and does not support RF rolling code control or learning.

FAQ
Q: Does this device work with the capability of reading an IR remote?
A: Yes, it could learn and remember the IR signals from the original remotes.
Q: Is there a hand control that would work with it? Don't want to drive my home theater entirely by phone or voice.
A: No, everything is done from your phone. Setup is done and also the controls are on the app. I will say I use it with Amazon Alexa so you can just ask Alexa to turn on or off whatever devices you program.
Q: Do I need an IR blaster cord for it or not?
A: No, the RM4 pro S could learn the buttons from the physical IR remote controls directly.
Q: ¿Puede abrirse un portón con este control?
A: Hola, leí que sí se puede, pero para tu seguridad puedes hacer esa pregunta al vendedor.
Q: Does the BroadLink Pro work with iPhones?
A: Yes, you can use it with iPhones.
