e-Remote Broadlink RM-Pro

[Theychosenone]

Hi all,

I have a question on Broadlink integration to Acorn Fans.
I'm using the Acorn fantasia fan, and after spending hours figuring out the learning of the RF, I found for each programmed button, I cannot just program it to a specific function (e.g. light on/off only, or fan speed only), but the button signal will send a group of function settings (e.g. light on PLUS fan speed etc). Am I doing the programming correctly?

I do realize the the Acorn remote power button actually remembers and send a last status signal, similar to aircons.

Also, the light color button on the Acorn remote behaves weirdly. If I program the light color button signal to 1 smart button on Broadlink, it doesn't work at all.
But if I program the remote light color button's first press signal to 1 smart button, then the remote light color button's 2nd press signal to a 2nd smart button, and then when testing I alternate between pressing the 1st and 2nd smart button on Broadlink, then it will work. It seems to me the Acorn remote's light color button sends an alternating signal for every press.. Anyone having the same experience? Any workarounds for this problem?

Thank you.

Anyone knows why telling it to turn off the fan in a room affects the other rooms as well? They all are in different bedrooms. Same thing as google side.

Are the fans using RF? if yes and the same then could be on the same frequency

I had purchased their MSK1 (Gateway + Door Sensor) some time back. It stopped working.

Can’t even get the gateway kit to be reinstalled. Their UI don’t even have taht model anymore.

Anyone else having the same issues?

Any idea why my buttons work erratically via rf learning? It works about 2 times out of 6 times.

Also, when i use the function to detetmine rf frequency of my remotr, i get a different frequency everytime (433.87 to 433.95 range). Is this normal?

Might be your remote is more secure and uses rolling code instead of fixed RF code?

Anyone encountered issue on Google home when trying to adjust fan speed?

I used to be able to ask the fan to change fan speed by saying "set bedroom fan speed to 2". Now it just tells me it doesn't understand..

Anyone managed to make RM4 Pro work with Singtel TV DVR Set Top Box (Tatung STB-3002)?

No issue with ir learning the Singtel remote with my cheap MeLE F10 Deluxe universal remote and RM4P. However, only RM4P unable to remote control this box after learning. I even placed the RM4P right before the set top to make sure it's not a distance issue. RM4P has no issue with LG TV and Samsung Soundbar though.

This is like a deal breaker because there's no point of getting RM4 Pro if one device cannot be controlled.

Is there other blaster that will work with it?

Edit 1: For some reason, today after I reset the RM4P and then readded set top box but this time choosing Tatung then learn the ir remote since no model available for selection, only power button could be used after programming. Earlier one straight from learning still the same don't work. Oddly random Singtel ones from user library also have some with power button working only and some with some buttons too e.g. ch and vol up working but not the downs. Seems like a bug more than incompatibility.

Edit 2: Found one that works quite well except double presses on left, down and 3 and 6. Wondering how did this user even get them to work in the first place. Really wish the number key works so can program channels.

I noticed for my Rm4Pro if I block the back of the device ( using like potted plants or boxes) it somehow works better and more reliable.

Does anyone observe same behavior ?

does doing that somehow ‘extends’ the range ? It’s for RF device By the way
