Have linked my BroadLink to Google home.

However it does not seem to switch on or off the ceiling fan lights via voice command on Google nest mini

No issues with siri though

I have no problem controlling my ceiling fan (via broadlink) with Google Home.
Did you link "ihc" or "broadlink" (blue B icon) in Google Home?

I used broadlink app. Never used ihc before.

I can switch on and off my ceiling fan with Google home. It’s the ceiling light that I can’t seem to switch on or off. Previously done it via BroadLink app and there’s no issue.

When I issue voice command via Google home to switch on the ceiling fan light,it says it is not set up yet

Is your Ceiling Fan Light showed up in your Google Home app?

Only your Ceiling Fan is in Google Home, the light is not.
How you setup the light in Broadlink? Is it based on IR or RF or wifi?
One thing you could try is: unlink your Broadlink from your Google Home (so that your Ceiling Fan is no longer in Google Home) then re-link the Broadlink to your Google Home (you should see your Ceiling Fan and, hopefully, the Light).
If all fail, then you screenshot the Light in your Broadlink app so that we could help further.

Try to create a scene on your broadlink for on light and off light. Then on Google home you should be able to create a routine and set the command to activate the respective scene in your broadlink..

I’m using a similar set up as yours- a ceiling fan with a built-in lights and RF remote control. When you tell Google Home to turn on fan, it will only turn on the “on” button on your IHC/Broadlink app as you have screenshot. Google Home can only turn on or turn off the fan, it is unable to turn on your fan light.

So if you want to turn on the lights, you have to create a scene like another brother has explained and then crease a new routine under Google Home.

Alternatively, you can create another lamp on IHC/Broadlink app, and set it to learn the RF for on and off for your fan lights, then place it on whichever room you want on the Google Home app, say for example, living room. So when you say, turn on living room lights, it will turn on that particular lamp. But do take note- if you have multiple lamps placed in the living room, Google Home will turn on all the lamps in that particular room.

I think it's easier for those who are buying new fans to just get one supported by Smartlife. Less hassle, can consider PO Eco and other brands.

Hi to all, new here and i want to ask

I have already installed a broadlink RM4 mini and another one Broadlink RM4pro RF433mhz+IR device and I turn on and off air conditioners and TV set and I also have room temperature and humidity information.

1. It is true that broadlink can detect some door window sensors 433mhz? The Sonoff SW1 RF? (I tried this but i failed). Any other brands and types ?

2. If this is valid, I want the broadlink to turn off the air conditioner when someone opening a contact. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Are you using Broadlink app? If so, search for it in your Tmall app:

If you use ihc app, then you have to search as below:

Which method did you use? The scene method?

Thanks elon and sellun!

It worked.

May I know how about turning off the light? Cause the on and off button is the same

I just have to voice out the same command right ?

Then you can create two routines- one for when you say “turn on fan lights”, another for “turn off fan lights.” Both routines will activate the same scene, but then you can have Google assistant reply “turning on fan lights” and “turning off fan lights” respectively.

One tip- your command to activate the scene, try to make the last word plural instead of singular i.e. lights instead of light. Google assistant response better to plural.

Yes the scenes/routines method

Thanks for the plural tip.

I’ve tried creating two routines but it does not seem to work.

Not sure if it’s my fan remote.. it has three different lightings and I will press once to switch it on, once more to switch it off and once more to switch to another lighting.

It's likely the on/off/switch is all using the same RF signal.. it's the controller on the light controlling base on the sequence of signal. So different routine doesn't matter as you still need to follow the sequence of the controller.
