e-Remote Broadlink RM-Pro

[thelalaman]

i have the same problem, only On & Off.
And cant get it to learn my Mitsubishi AC at all.

I have the same problem too. Until I chose the option “no remote unit” and let the broadlink scan for the AC. You can give it a try.

Okay, need some background in case I reply you with the wrong information. On the IHC app, you are using what template for the remote? Lightbulb or user defined or?

I am using lightbulb cause I can’t get it to work using user defined.

Oic. How does it scan for the AC?

I’ve been using eTouch for 6 months plus and so far, so good (touch wood). It checks all your boxes- 3 gang maximum, no neutral wire, no need for capacitor. I suggest you buy it from the Broadlink distributor on Carousell- she does exchanges in case the product breaks down prematurely like your TC2 switches.

I had the tc2 switch for slightly more than a year. A Few became faulty within a year and I got them exchanged under warranty. I did not buy them through carousell but now it's after a year so I guess can only get replacement. It's the quality issue that I am not happy about it.

Where did you get your etouch and any other reliable brands to recommend?

Chanced upon this Broadlink device...wondering if it can help link my gate remote control to Google Home.

Currently using Google Home Hub with Nest Video door bell.

For my main gate, my contractor says its a hard wire connection basically to trigger the lock/unlocking of the front gate OR its a radio frequency.

If it uses a standard PT2262 433Mhz or 315Mhz codes, it should work. But again, that's dangerous isn't it? That will also mean if I can capture your RF codes, I can unlock your gate.

I see, it’s good that you manage to get them exchanged. Personally I’ve only used eTouch before so it works fine for me, no issues since day of installation (TOUCH WOOD). I am using a total of 6 eTouch switches in my house- mostly 2 and 3 gang. I bought them from this lady called Desiree on Carousell- she’s the distributor for Broadlink Singapore. I bought a couple of SP2, SC1, RM Pro and alarm kit from her too. Her items are not the cheapest (you can certainly find better prices online after CC discount or flash sale etc), but her service has been unbeatable for the additional 10-20% more I’ve paid.

Until today, more than six months later, she still replies my queries promptly and she was the one who updated me on the app issue with IHC on iOS recently.

Perhaps you can drop her a PM on Carousell with regards to the current market on smart switches as I’m out of the game on that aspect.

I am using lightbulb cause I can’t get it to work using user defined.

Okay, so this was how I set up my KDK fan remote control. For context, it was done back in May this year and has served me well the past six months. Since it is an IR remote control, I first created the remote template using Lamp on IHC, but it only has two buttons- on and off. The Google Home app can only sense lamps from the Broadlink Smart Home app under Home Control. So, when I tell my GHM or GA on my iPhone to turn on or off the fan, it will directly execute the command as if it is a lamp. Do note I did not assign my fan to any room.

Now to control fan speed, I created a user-defined remote on the IHC app and let it learn the different IR codes. There are altogether 9 fan speeds and other timer/mode functions etc- I only picked a total of 3 fan speeds to save on my user-defined remote in IHC- high, medium, low. Medium is actually my default “ON” fan speed. I do not use the rest of the functions.

This is what it looks like, which I haven’t opened since May. I only use voice to control my fan, and if it’s not responding like last month when there was a problem with IHC app on iOS, I use e-Control instead, NEVER IHC.

Then I’ll go to my IHC and under scenes, create a scene for high fan speed and another for the low fan speed.

At this point, I’m all set. I can tell GHM to turn on the fan (medium speed), activate FAN SPEED HIGH, activate FAN SPEED LOW or turn off the fan. If you want to sound cool in front of your friends & family and not say the word activate, then you can go to your GH app, under routines and create custom commands to your liking.

And viola!

I'm using livolo switch since feb 2017. Consist a mixture of 1, 2 & 3 gang one way switches. Total installed 7 of it with some as spare. Mine bought from livolo official store from TaoBao and it is without Neutral.

So far all still works fine except for 1 of the 1 gang switch where the blue backlit light during off mode has gone off. Once switch on, the red backlit light still works. No concern to me. However, do note that it requires the capacitor for lower wattage LED to prevent flickering.

I will be getting ceiling fan with lights, so would like to check in this case do i need 2 gang switch? Or one gang is enough to control the fan and the lights.

And also would like to ask for the Yoogee switch i just ask my contractor to replace my current switch from my BTO and so long as i am about to switch them on and off using my finger i should be able to connect them to RM Pro right? Or do i need any special wiring or so?

To add on my contractor told me that now all BTO have 3 wire with consist of the Live, earth and neutral.

I saw Newegg selling for S$130 with $30 off for Black Friday, free shipping. Not sure if it’s cheaper than your deal though.

Can anyone help by teaching me how to setup rm pro plus with android phone? My old one up the lorry. Recent just bought a few to install across the house. Followed all 3 steps, normal configuration mode, ap mode scan bar code mode. All don’t work in both e-control or ihc app. In my router I can see the remotes by their IP address and MAC id. But the app just refuse to complete setup. Check any extra steps I never do? Spend a few day trying to setup and it’s frustrating. Any shifu can shed some lights?

Having the same issue here.
Done the standard method, then the AP method and the scan bar code... all not working, can't setup both RM Pro+ and Mini 3...
Both phone and devices are on 2.4GHz wifi (b/g band only)...

 

[Aditshar]

Try setting it up on e-control app. Update the rm pro and mini 3 from e-control app. That should do the trick.

Thanks, managed to setup RM Pro+ in IHC. Strange thing is, the firmware update didn't update to any newer version, but does the trick...

You will not see the eTouch on your IHC Wall switch RF because the eTouch is not exactly a “smart” switch, it’s more of a RF switch, so you got to pair it with a RF remote control first (say for a one gang eTouch, frequency A for turning on and frequency B for turning off the switch), then bring your RF remote control next to your RM pro and let it learn the two frequencies the way you do for your fan, TV, soundbar, blinds etc on the user defined template. Then from there, as per my previous post on the KDK fan, create one scene for turning on the switch and another for turning it off. After that, hook it up with your Broadlink Smart Home skill and your GHM or AED should be able to see the scene and activate it using your voice.

This may sound complicated and tedious at first glance, but with practice, you should be about to “transfer” the frequency from your eTouch to your RM pro in under 2 minutes for each gang. And do it once, do it thorough- the convenience and time saving you get to enjoy is infinite (or until the eTouch burns out, whichever comes first).

Router is Synology 2600ac isp is MyRepublic. No problem with the previous spoil rm pro+. Now problem in setting up the current one

What router and ISP are you using?
