Broadlink RM mini3 Universal WiFi / IR Remote Controller

I gave the product 4 stars because it is an amazing device for such a great price. It works well with my TV, my air-cond, my fan and my audio amp. The selection of devices is quite extensive and if it is not listed, you can program your own device through the IR learning feature.
However, Alexa can only work if you select to add Lamps and Television. Adding in the other modes will not be detected by Alexa. If Broadlink fixes this, I will give it 5 stars. That said, you can trick Alexa to operate any device if you add the device as a TV or Lamp and edit it later. The shipping packaging leaves much to be desired.
My package arrived in pretty bad shape and upon taking the product out of the box, it appeared to be broken as the top was off the product. See video attached. However, although the item was damaged and the top keeps falling off, I have decided to keep it rather than return it fro an exchange as the functionality of the device seems to be good. I just have to glue the top back. Pretty bad shipping packaging. See the pictures to see the condition the box arrived in. Took some really hard knocks and the device could have been broken in pieces.
The product is great value and I will highly recommend the purchase.

The universal WIFI /IR Remote Controller is very useful. Installation and configuration are simple and fast. You have to simply connect the remote controller to power plug and configure, using the appropriate APP, the WI-FI network to connect. The APP is very well done and it's localized in english, so don't worry if you don't speak chinese. Configuring you devices is a matter of minutes. The IR controller can "learn" your remotes, so, select what type of remote you want to configure and start teaching the controller pointing the device in its direction and pressing buttons when requested by the app. There are some "templates" for virtual controller. For example, TV remote has an own template simulating a standard and universal tv controller. You can also define scenes with your IR controlled devices. For example, turn on TV and air conditioner 1 at the same time.

Suggestion

No predefined profiles for common devices and brands. A bunch of preconfigured devices just in the set top box category.

L'ho appena ricevuto e ho avuto un pò di difficoltà a metterlo parzialmente in funzione. Prima di tutto non si capisce quale è l'app che bisogna installare. Dopo 2 giorni di ricerche e consigli contradditori su Internet, alla fine l'app giusta era IHC foe EU, che però non voleva saperne di connettersi con il broadlink a causa della rete che riconosceva a 5Ghz, mentre lui funziona con quella a 2.4. In realtà il mio router è dual band, ma mentre gli altri dispositivi connessi, pur appoggiandosi anch'essi sulla banda 2.4, davano un warning poi su connettevano, l'IHC impedisce di proseguire con la connessione. Alla fine ho trovato un congegno di rete 2.4 e ho potuto connettermi e mettere in rete l'RM Mini 3. L'ho usato per il momento per far funzionare la mia TV. Con l'apposito skill, adesso la controllo con Alexa. Poi ho tentato di far funzionare una seconda TV, ma questa volta la magia non mi è riuscita. Tenterò ancora, ma dò 4 stelle, perchè la TV, con qualche problemino, funziona e perchè la recensione bisognerebbe farla dopo un pò..

Установил его сразу. Приложение не имеет большого количества предконфигурированных пультов дистанционного управления, и некоторые шаблоны также слишком ограничены, но оно изучает каждый ключ с каждого пульта, который у меня есть. Обратите внимание, что вы используете правильное (в моем случае EU) приложение, так как другие не будут ссылаться на Alexa и Google Home. Вся настройка работает. В моем случае я могу только включать и выключать телевизор и устанавливать приставки с помощью Alexa и Google. Используя приложение, вы также можете включать и выключать эти устройства, но будьте внимательны, если ваш телевизор уже выключен, снова нажмите кнопку «выключить» в приложении, чтобы мой телевизор включился. В целом, это дополнительная помощь в случае, если я не могу найти правильный пульт. За эти деньги я, безусловно, могу порекомендовать его.
