Exceptional review from a REAL user. Seems like this isn't being set up just to demo it. Clear and concise and Thank you very very much for taking so much time to edit the video to keep it flowing so well. I'm going to subscribe :)

Painstakingly done video. It explains all the basics. Thanks for simplifying the learning curve for us. Thinking of buying one 👍

Hello Russell... first off, thanks for taking the time to prepare this video and share your experience of this device - appreciated and 'thumbs up'... I live in the UK and I am steadily expanding my smart home - started with Phillips Hue bulbs, added Sonoff's, Nest thermostat and more recently, Logitech Harmony for controlling audio/visual (IR) devices. The Broadlink RM Pro+ might be a great way to control my garage roller door and kitchen cabinet lights (RF). Everything is currently voice controlled via Amazon Alexa... any advice appreciated...

Hi from Turkey :)
Thank you for reviewing, that helped me a lot.

You should include the Lenovo Smart Display with Google Assistant as well! Awesome new gadget that Lenovo and Google made, the screen adds so much more features to the assistant than any other smart home device. I would consider my house a smart home, since I'm using the Lenovo Smart Display as like a main console, and have other Google devices connected to it. You should definitely make a review about it!

Thanks Russell for the review. I just order it couple of mins ago, and i'm eager to get in my hands. But also, I bought it with a wall swich from Broadlink ;) Take a look to that as well. Cheers

great video! had no clue this thing existed.

Have you managed to add this into Apple shortcuts? or do you just operate with the standard APP

The iPhone app also works via the internet outside your home WiFi, so the comment is wrong. The RM Pro has the RF and IR blaster. If you only need IR control get the RM Mini 3 device which is smaller and much cheaper (US$10-15).

Do I need two of these if I have to control devices in two rooms ? Like my AC in bedroom and TV in living room ??

Russel, nice video, I liked it a lot :)

I use IHC for my Blackbean (RM mini 3). It is great that you can also use an Alexa enabled device on it.

Nice review. Are you still using the Broadlink? Do you still like it?

I would like to have my receiver, streaming device and Xbox in a closet. I think this would work since the Broadlink uses Wifi from the phone/tablet to the actual Broadlink device. However, I'm not sure how to control the TV if the Broadlink is in the closet with the rest of the devices. Any ideas?

Very clear and nice review, thank you !

[ed.t.hansen]

why have this to depend on local phone vs. phone over the internet-router via a cloud device controller. ?

[mohammadalhusseny]

Can you use it to another room have romote or only one open room

[roymillar]

Have you tested running macros with Alexa I can’t get on and off to work but I can get 1 or the other to work I think it’s more an Alexa prob as in she cant find the off op. Any ideas

[flexxylexxy]

doe it work with satellite decoder and can it work through electronics in other rooms (i.e. through wall)?

[redshirtmodels]

Great video. It would be great to see this used/setup with an Echo Dot.
