Broadlink RM Pro Installation Setup

[@capsmith5876]

Thanks... My RM2 did not come with instructions. You have shown me what I need to know.

[@igadgeting5431]

Cap Smith so glad you found it useful. Thanks!

[@andreamitchell4758]

can you please help me, i have a question that i need answered quickly i need to re enter the log in credentials for the device so how do i do it and will it mess up my current setup at all if i do? what happened is that i found out that my 2.4ghz band on my router had a space at the end of the SSID and it was causing problems for some clients so i had to remove the hidden space at the end of the SSID but now all my 2.4ghz clients will not connect because they see it as a new different SSID ,so i need to enter the new ssid

[@greggday2011]

Great. Thank you for the quick response. You helped me make up my mind.

[@trevorkilkenny8178]

HI, do you know how to add a remote that is not found when you search for it? Thank you

[@zeeraak]

nice video but still bit too complicated to understand it would be nice if you could explain it from scratch learning of IR remote how its programmed in to the Broadlink and the same for RF Remotes

[@dronexfun8469]

please forgive my ignorance but it looks like you are just replacing the t.v. remote with a smart phone. is there any way to control my samsung smart t.v. through alexa? i think i would need a device that i could control with alexa that points an ir beam directly at my t.v. i hope that made sense. thanks a million.

[@joelwilson9890]

I am having a problem getting my Xfinity set top box programmed. I can turn the box on and adjust the volume but not change channels? It will not learn channel up ro down? any suggestions.

[@rafaelfernandesmuniz8573]

I need to reconfigure wifi.. How do i do it ?

[@Bania1988]

iGadgeting Hey. I got one question. Is it possible to connect broadlink with lightswich whithout tradicional remote controller? Becouse when you have broadlink, you don't need remote, and buying remote only for connect with broadling doesn't make any sense :-D . Waiting for response :)

[@greggday2011]

I liked your video; easy to understand and a good presentation. Just need some more information. I am looking to buy something to control my stereo system (IR Remote) in my basement while I am in my sunroom upstairs. Probably 40' away and through concrete walls. I also have an existing remote lighting and security system (RF Remotes.) Will this work, even though the actual device is in the basement, with the RF remotes? Is there a list of branded IR & RF devices this system will work with? Thank you

[@igadgeting5431]

Thank you for your comment. To control IR devices the RM Pro needs to have a clear visibility of the device being controlled. Make sure Wifi is accessible from the basement so you can communicate with it from anywhere even from outside your home. Regarding RF devices my RM Pro can control them from several rooms away. I find its range much longer and stronger than the actual remote of my RF devices. It works with most of the RF devices I have such as home plugs but it didn't work with my Hormann Garage door.

[@slamdolphin]

This RM Pro is amazing. I have had one for almost a year now, and I use it (all in one room) for my Air Conditioning, TV, Projector, Smart Blu Ray Player, Surround sound system, CD Stereo, and perhaps most importantly:10 different RF Outlets. These outlets are like 5 bucks each (you can get a set on amazon for cheap), and essentially you can turn your outlets into smart outlets for cheap! Broadlink is really missing out on the potential they have with this product. I have fumbled around with the app and while it works for me, it honestly sucks and would not survive in the mass market. Broadlink needs to step up and work to get this partnered with Homekit for Apple or Amazon Alexa, and clean up their app too. This thing would me MASSIVELY successful if they pull this off. This goes for around 35 on Amazon, and a 5 pack of RF outlets is 25. So for 60$ total you have a hub and 5 outlets, where a normal smart outlet is $25-30 a piece, without the hub. I have reached out to Broadlink Support but they seem to not be very proactive on this project which is a shame.

[@thebatu89]

Hi, so I'm pretty new to using broadlink. For the RF outlets that you mention, do you have to like pair them with the hub or something?

[@idabbleintech4207]

they won't work with the Rm Mini 3, you have to get to get the Rm Pro/2. Then in the app you click add remote, and click RCS. Then you stand next to your Rm 2 with the RF remote that came with your outlets and add them into the app, so the app 'learns' them so it can repeat them

[@slamdolphin]

the Rm 2 is the "hub"

[@Tangcmin]

Hi, Do you know the is the range for Infrared?

[@tjvincenzi3695]

What's the difference between a anymote and a broad Link?

[@albeshri]

Hi. Did you notice any delay in the response ? And what if you have more than 1 wifi network? Any bridging issues??

[@kapitantiago7861]

Is there any way that you can preserve all your remote settings once you changed the password of your wifi after successfully connected it into the previous wifi password?

[@eldroto2]

Hey! Thanks for this Video! Is it possible to rename Socket1-4 to custom names?

[@JLIinternational]

Thanks for the very informative vid. I have 2 wall (ductless) AC units at my house. They both use the same remote (meaning they will both respond to either remote). I assume I need to have a boardlink in each room to control each AC unit? How does Iphone app handle 2 different boarlink RM? Can you make a separate icon on iphone for each RM? Also, I have several houses. How does one program all these RM from different homes on one iphone? Thanks.

[@ArylSky]

Hi, thanks for your comment. I only have one device but I checked the setting to see what's available. You can set several Broadlink RM Pro in the same app. I don't think you can have multiple icons on the iPhone's home screen. However you can switch between multiple devices from the app itself. Devices like air conditioners need a Broadlink RM Pro in the same room they are in since the remote's signal works with infra red which cannot pass through walls. As when having more than one home I suggest giving each Broadlink RM Pro a meaningful name to indicate in which house they are and in which room to make it easier to switch between them. I hope that you will find this information useful.

[@rrrrrrrr290]

@JLIinternational yes you will need a boardlink box in each room as the box needs line of sight to the aircon to be able to turn it on and off

[@madihael-nagar2829]

hi...thanx for the video...it was really helpful...but I have a question...for instance, if i have two identical air conditioners at the same room and I added each remote separately....does each remote works separately too????

[@igadgeting5431]

Madiha El-nagar if the air conditioners work with the same remote and the RM Pro is in line of sight with each air conditioner it will control them at the same time.

[@madihael-nagar2829]

Thank you for your quick response So I guess they will work separately if I added each remote in a different icon?

[@igadgeting5431]

Madiha El-nagar if the air conditioners are the same brand and model, work with the same remote and are in the same room they will work together. You can't control them separately. Not even if you set two different icons, they will still work together.

[@sanojvarghese]

Hi, Is it possible to control an RF based TV remote with Broadlink. Basically a changhong TV with an RF remote ..

[@igadgeting5431]

sanoj varghese Hi, I use RF plugs and they work great, it depends on the frequency it uses.

[@AliG.G]

thanks for the video. i was wondering can you access your devices remotely outside of local wifi? For example can you access your home devices from work?

[@igadgeting5431]

Ali G yes you can access it from any other wifi (assuming that it is not too restricted) and ever from your mobile data. You don't have to be connected on the same wifi network

[@micky9229]

Wow I think I will buy one. Only £22.99 on ebay UK. Cheers

[@Alikaleshinka]

Hi, I can't control my e-remote out of home , not from the place where I have wifi and not by 3-4 G, may be you know what's the problem? I always see the massage : the device is offline. And an other problem -the device can't learn most of remote controls

[@andreamitchell4758]

i have the exact same problem, you can update the FW of the device and it will learn the remotes but i still can't make it work away from home at all

[@miguelmount7821]

What is the difference between the IM PRO + IR+RF Control and the RM + 433 MHz. Do I need an Android phone to set up, or may I use an iPhone? I am a quadriplegic and want to control a 2010 Sony Bravia TV and a 2011 Sony Blu ray system and some smart bulbs (in the USA). Thanks!

[@ArylSky]

Hi, I am not sure what the difference is between those two. You can use an iPhone to set it up just like I did. You can easily control your TV and Blu-ray system with this as long as you have the original remote control to set it up the first time. I am not sure about the smart bulbs as it depends mostly about the manufacturer. I have recently changed my bulbs to Philips Hue and I use Apple's Homekit and ask Siri to control them. Hope I was of any help. Sincerely iGadgeting

[@greekgh0st]

hello. nice video. What lights switch do you use?

[@igadgeting5431]

I use ILumos light switch

[@zero80473]

i have a question i have a automatic window open and IR radiator changer is it possable to program it for them easy?

[@igadgeting5431]

zero80473 if they work with an IR remote control of Radio Frequency I think they would work, though I can't be sure since I don't know what they are exactly.

[@thebatu89]

What's the range on this? Is there like detachable RF transmitter cable that helps to extend the coverage?

[@igadgeting5431]

It has a pretty good range, mine works through 5 stone walls along a distance of about 15 metres

[@niravniel561]

Hi, can you tell me if your lights has dimmer option and if it can be done via the broadlink as well ? or just turn the lights off or On with no dimmer option

[@igadgeting5431]

Nir Avniel hi, my light switch does not have an option for dimming, however if it can be controlled via the remote I believe you can use the broadlink to control it.

[@andreamitchell4758]

can you tell me how to get this piece of shit to work away from home , it never works every time the e-control app says "the device is offline please check your network connection" it works fine on wifi but as soon as i switch off wifi and switch to LTE it does not work just says it is offline , i am logged in and i tried deleting the app and reinstalling several times and it does not work at all ,very disappointed in this product

[@harveytwyman]

I have an "IP Conflict" with the Broadlink RM Pro 2. It clashes with my TP-Link TL-WPA4220 Wifi Extenders. Any Ideas?

[@PunisherSA5000]

Yes, reserve a static address for the broadlink device in your wifi router. You can try this link: www.tp-link.com/us/faq-182.html

[@MsSparky2004]

Some info useful but needing both hands is a given for most devices.

[@dimmes]

1 power on reset press 2 3 When led blink quickly open apps on my Android device .. but I have to be connected to a wifi ? What ? Or do I need to manually enter a network ??how does the smartphone to communicate with remote rm ? rm as does remote connect to my wifi ???

[@igadgeting5431]

Connect to the wifi you want to use from your smartphone and then search for the RM Pro and it should locate it and it will start using the same wifi as well

[@skawashkar]

Is it possible to run 2 air-conditioners to run as pre scheduled on a rotational basis?

[@igadgeting5431]

If both air conditioners work with the same remote and are in the same room, I don't think you can control them separately.

[@skawashkar]

Any other products which are capable of doing it?

[@isaachenry2874]

please do i need an additional router for the wifi to work, or does the device has an hotspot my phone can connect

[@igadgeting5431]

It needs to connect to your existing wifi network which is connected to the internet for it to work.

[@evolve2survive324]

can i set up broadlink with my television without the tv remote ( lost it) ? plz be detailed in your response !

[@kriss1313]

Not clear if that is your home wifi or broadlink wifi (as AP)

[@ArylSky]

I did not connect to the AP. I was connected to my home wifi all the time

[@mauriziofederici]

well done...nice video

[@Req8zz]

شنو فايدة الجهاز ؟

[@Bonez888]

For some reason I keep getting an error message when trying to connect to wifi

[@ckev18]

Does it accept any remote code or it needs to learn all the devices?

[@igadgeting5431]

You can download a remote settings from the application. However it can also learn remote codes from your original remote

[@kochanipachayakasamesup8619]

very good

[@ibrahimaconde7485]

i want use ir its possible thanks

[@igadgeting5431]

Welcome to visit our Amazon store: www.amazon.com/shops/BroadLink

[@slamdolphin]

Will the RmPro work with Apple HOMEkit in the future?

[@BroadLinkInternational]

Yes, but before RM PRO, we will let SP3 smart plug work with Homekit first.

[@ArylSky]

Broadlink DNA that would be a great addition to the broadlink RMPro as it is a great device however I'd really would like to use it with HomeKit

[@peterwhittaker9353]

Seriously Broadlink you need to add proper IFTTT.com and Amazon Echo support!!!!

Hey man, just a follow-up: I managed to get the RMPro to be voiced controlled through Google Now. I am using a Galaxy s3 to do the processing an act as the 'Google Home' to control anything my Broadlink can' you can find the necessary software on the Play store (Im an iPhone guy but I found this old droid lying around'
