Sorry there is no option available for your appliance.
Please choose “Learn remote” to create a remote, tap the buttons on the original remote to let the RM4 mini learn the commands. Then you will be able to control the appliance after learning.
Is my appliance compatible with the RM4mini?
RM4mini supports IR 38KHz control devices, does not support Bluetooth or RF. Please check the manual of your appliance or consult the manufacturer to confirm.
How to tell if my remote is infrared or Bluetooth
1) Infrared remote has an infrared emitter (crystal head) on the top of itself, you need to point the emitter at the device when use it;
2) Bluetooth remote does not have an infrared emitter, and it usually needs to be matched before first use.
It can’t control my IR device stably, what should I do?
The IR signal can’t go through the wall, please check and make sure the device is close to your appliance and there is no obstacle in between.

Works great for my needs
I bought two of these to remotely control infrared heaters used as backup/supplemental heat at my house. They were relatively simple to set up using the app and while the heater was not in the remote database, the unit learned the remote with no problem. Since the remote is the same for both heaters, it only had to learn it once and I set up the second remote with the profile I saved in the app. I also like being able to monitor room temperatures so I can turn on and off the heaters remotely as needed. This is a much better solution than a smart plug which I wanted to avoid since itâs safer to plug heaters directly into the outlet.

Exceeded expectations.
Setup was easy. The TV codes were found, a stereo wasn’t, but all the original remotes were available to teach any needed codes. Now before I even ordered this device, a few weeks ago I’d previously tested possible locations I’d place this device when I received it. I’d assumed that I’d need to place reflective items strategically to bounce IR to the equipment. Everywhere I held the original TV remote, the signal didn’t reach the TV, so I definitely wasn’t expecting the device to do better. Forward to now, I try to confirm that the signal would not reach from the device to the TV (as the device is definitely not nearly in front of the TV), but the TV fired up on the first go. The stereo was more picky, so I set a glass jar near the device for refraction, and that did the trick. Automations are a breeze to set up, and from simple timers to IFTTT, it’s all there. I’m amazed how small the device is, and the build quality seems top-notch. You’ll need a USB-A power source/charger, but many of us have plenty of those. I definitely would (and will) recommend this to anyone.

Hard to set up…
Tried for 6 hours.Everytime it says the device says it is connected, after a short time it comes back with ‘failed to set up device.’My wifi network was on the 2.4 ghz band.The instructions included are simple quick setup, but have no trouble shooting or detailed information on what to do.Second day, I was planning to return the device, but decided to try setting it up again. I have the eero wifi mesh, this time, I didn’t set my network to 2.4ghz only, I also didn’t turn off my phones cellular data.What I did do was turn off the wap 3 in the eero app, which I didn’t think to try the day before. It worked. The device set up right away.After it is set up, you can turn the wap 3 back on.No issues now at all. It is working good.

Thanks to this, now controlling my AC and my TV with Google Home voice commands
So far — I just got this two days ago — I’m very pleased. I had initially tried to save $10 by buying a somewhat similar device made by a sweet company whose name starts with an H and ends in two ll’s, but I was never able to get it to pair with my WiFi, and sent it back. This Broadlink IR blaster paired — eventually, after numerous tries, perhaps due to my ineptness — with my phone and with my home WiFi (note, I had to go instruct my WiFi to separate the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands first; the Broadlink uses 2.4Ghz). That was the hard part, everything since then has been pretty easy. First I found a location in my living room where the IR blaster would have “line of sight” both to my tv and to my AC unit’s IR receiver. Then I set it up to control my five-year-old LG OLED tv, which is smart and great, but does not have Google built in. This required selecting the LG magic remote from Broadlink’s list of tv’s. Immediately I had full control of the tv from the app. Next, I added my Mitsubishi heat pump/AC to the Broadlink IR blaster by trying a couple of available choices. This was not so straightforward and I had to use the (very clear) instructions in the Broadlink app to use my Mitsubishi’s remote to teach the IR blaster the necessary IR codes by selecting a function (e.g., turn on) and then pressing the appropriate button on the remote. It took me about 10 minutes to “program” the IR blaster in this fashion. Then I added, or paired, Broadlink with Google Home, and since then have been happily using Google voice commands to turn on, turn off, mute and unmute, etc., my tv. I have not tried controlling my AC/heat pump this way because mostly I try to leave that alone to do its job (but, see below). I had purchased the Broadlink RM4 Mini bundle that comes with a temperature and humidity sensor, and so these values show up in the app. Also, if I ask Google what those values are, it tells me — but it insists on telling me the temperature in Centigrade, in spite of my having chosen Farenheit during setup. I sent Broadlink support an email about this and overnight, in less than six hours, received this reply: “We are sorry that currently the temperature value is only supported with Celsius degrees. The temperature scale setting in BroadLink app only changes the temperature display in app after calculation, but the actual value sent to the BroadLink server is still Celsius. In this case, the value sent to GH server is also Celsius.” Now, I really like my Mitsubishi ac/heat pump, but it only uses an IR remote for control, meaning you have to use it within line of sight. Last night, however, I set up the Broadlink app to tell the RM4 Mini to instruct the AC to turn off at 9:30 pm and to turn back on again at sunrise this morning — and both of these instructions were executed perfectly! This is great, because I often forget to turn the ac off before I come upstairs at night, and now it’s set on “automatic”. I know, I could set up a similar timer using the Mitsubishi’s remote, but I think this way is easier. Also, using the Broadlink app or a Google voice command, I could turn the AC off/on from upstairs, which I can’t do with the Mitsubishi’s remote. In sum, so far I am very pleased with the RM4 Mini and the Broadlink app, which give me simultaneous control over my living room tv and AC. (Make sure you have a spare 5V power cube if you order this bundle because it does not come with one.)

Setup is very difficult, limited control options
The setup was very difficult with my dual band router. I eventually had to disable the 5GHz SSID broadcast, and switch the authentication to WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] from only WPA2-PSK [AES]. Also had to reboot the router, and forget then relearn the phone connection. Never had to do this with other 2.4GHz only devices.The remote functions are also VERY basic as it can only do simple momentary button presses, no hold, double click, or delays are available in the routines. Annoying since the heater I’m using it with needs a double press of the power button to turn off.

Better Than The Alexa/IFTTT Combo Ever Was!
With Alexa and IFTTT parting ways, I was looking for a new home automation method for Alexa. It’s just as well, since IFTTT commands thru Alexa would fail half the time. The RM4 Mini does more than IFTTT ever did, responses are faster and integration is cleaner. Easy setup and much more control of my TV that I had before. And it’s so cute!

I use it with home assistant to control various things. It works great and the humidity sensor is pretty accurate.

Con cable de alimentación de 50 cm aprox. de longitud. Use el control remoto para TV Samsung 2016, agrego modelo y en automático me obtiene los botones del control. Asà tambien con un control universal para un minicomponente Sony modelo 2002 y para un TV box Android ZTE de “televisión de paga”. Tiene buen alcance el infrarrojo, no es necesario que este frente al equipo a controlar. Sensor de temperatura y humedad tiene buena lectura para uso interior de casa, usarlo con Alexa lo detecta muy bien. No unico malo que no se actualiza los botones de controles para una TV Sony X85 modelo 2021 y Receptor Denon S760H modelo 2021 para estos equipos tuve que configurar manualmente algunos botones porque no funcionaba el control por default, para poder controlar mejor los equipos debido a que se abren par de ventanas para llegar el boton a usar. Si quieres configurar el control remoto con otro router wifi (otra casa con internet), se tiene que dar reset al RM4 y volver a configurar, pero si usas una bocina Alexa no sera necesario volver a configurar la bocina esa queda guardada con el skill de BroadLink. Para usar el control remoto deben estar conectados en la misma red local todos los equipos y tu celular.
