⚡ At a Glance
- • Compatibility: IR support for most TVs, STBs, ACs and DVD players, plus 433MHz RF for some curtain motors and projectors
- • Best for: Homeowners wanting to centralise remotes, enable voice control and automate daily routines
- • Not ideal for: Homes using 5GHz-only routers, mesh networks, or RF rolling code devices
Handles infrared control and certain 433MHz RF signals while integrating with voice assistants and the BroadLink app. Requires 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and line-of-sight for IR operation.
Control Most Entertainment and Home Devices, with IR and 433MHz RF learning
Infrared learning captures the majority of TV, set-top box, air conditioner and DVD remote codes, while 433MHz RF supports fixed-code signals from curtain motors, projectors and some switches. RF rolling code systems cannot be learned or controlled.
Consolidate several remotes into one app and reduce the number of handheld controls around the house.
Automate Routines and Voice Control, with BroadLink app and Alexa/Google integration
The hub connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for remote access, scene creation and scheduled timers through the BroadLink app, and links to Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT by enabling the BroadLink skill and linking accounts. The latest app version is required for Alexa compatibility.
Schedule on/off actions, run multi-device scenes and use voice commands to control entertainment and climate appliances, even when away from home.
Practical Setup and Siting, with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and line-of-sight IR
Operation requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and is not compatible with 5GHz networks or some mesh router setups, while infrared signals need direct line of sight to controlled devices. The hub accepts a USB temperature and humidity sensor (sold separately) and needs a 5V 1A power adapter.
Place the hub centrally and visibly for reliable IR reach, check router compatibility before installation, and add the external sensor if room climate monitoring is needed.
