e-Remote Broadlink RM-Pro

[shacboi]

Hi shacboi, you are using livolo switches too? May I know how did you get the switch to connect to RM pro or RM pro+?

Hi freemanuk,

Go get the livolo physical remote rmt04.

Pair ur switches to the remote buttons.

Goto rm pro app and create user defined buttons and learn the remote buttons.

That's it!

Hi shacboi,
Thanks for your reply. So i guess the problem lies with the remote control, I was using RMT-02.

For rm pro app, I am using ihc instead of e-control, as I am using Alexa's "routine" function, so that I don't need a rm bridge. Does this matter with the connection between livolo and rm pro+?

Hi freemanuk,

RMT-02 is just a 4 buttons remote, how many LIVOLO switch u having ?

lets assume u have only 1 livolo 1 gang switch, the rmt02 remote pair to ur livolo switch, button 'A' is to toggle on/off.... button 'D' is ALL OFF.

then u let RM PRO learn the button via IHC app, ''tv template'' ON button to the button 'A' of remote.

ask Alexa to discover devices, create a Routine and add ur this newly discovered item in the routine, call out ur routine it should work.

u can test by pressing the ihc app , to see if rm pro correctly learnt the code.
if it is ok, den after Alexa discovered the device, it shouldnt be any issue already.

Hi shacboi,
Yes my RMT-02 has 4 buttons and my livolo is a 1-gang switch. I am using tv template via ihc app for my rm pro+.

1. When I pair rmt02 with livolo swicth, both work.
2. When I pair rmt02 with rm pro+, rm pro+ cannot detect rmt02. I thought my rm pro+ was faulty.
3. When I pair a different remote (for my LED strip) with rm pro+, both work and of course I was able to complete with ihc, device discovery and alex rountines stages for voice command (this one works perfectly througout).

What's wrong with my Attempt 2? What couldn't my rm pro+ detect and learn from my rmt02? Very strange.

Hi there, when learning the button try press the remote very near to rm pro. If nvr detect just keep trying for few times, shld be fine.

I do hav learning issue wit sumof my other remotes, dats how i overcome it btw.

No luck, tried your suggestion, tried re-setting the rm pro+, tried paring with many other remotes. Only the remote for my LED strip is able to be detected by my rm pro+. Think I got a lemon. Sigh.

Hi there, one last thing u can try if havent, before u click 'learn single' you try 'sweep frequency' after that then press learn single, and click on ur remote button beside the rm pro a few times to see if it learns correctly ?

Woohoo! The sweep frequency works in e-control! But how to bring that to ihc? I am getting excited now.

 

[Lord_Kang]

Can broadlink rm pro control the fan speed??

 

[shacboi]

for IHC i cannot rembr if it has the sweep freq function ? No ? then you hav to try ur luck letting it learn the signal i guess.

 

[shacboi]

Can broadlink rm pro control the fan speed??

if ur fan remote can be learn by rm pro, then answer is yes.

for my Fanco iCon model, the fan speed are 'low / medium / high' , so i just create user-defined buttons and let it learn the all 3 buttons, and rename the buttons accordingly.

Singapore electricity is 220/240 50hz
The Broadlink TC2 I bought says 170-250V 50hz/60hz on the box.
Safe to use right?

As long within the range is fine i guess.. So far no issue with China & US appliances and devices

Hello need some help, installed the one gang switch with no issues but for this two gang one in my living room got some issues.
My current switch has 6 wires.
i used a test pen and only one of it has electricity (One of the L1's)
There's also one cable that connects both L1's together (kinda like a link bridge)
so it seems i've got 3 wires that go to two of my lights. and i'm not sure what or how i can place them in my broadlink switch which only has L, L1, L3.

It would seem that one of the 3 cables is a slave of sorts. because when it isn't plugged in, i cant turn on the lights in all my other rooms.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, when i open up my 2gang and 3gang mechanical switches, i too face similar issue as u.

There is this bridging wire between my two Live wires. I guess the current is pass thru this bridge to other Live wire so that it can power up other switches in bedroom for example.

So watever u do, just rembr to retain the current 'linkages' between the switches. What I did is to connect both the Live wires in L hole, and i can remove the bridge wire since now both Live wire touches in the same L hole on the switch.

U mentioned u hav another bridging wire between your two loads? Not sure if i read correctly, if dats the case u just put the separate wires to respective load holes(your L1 & l3 according to pic) and then the bridge wire to connect both loads as per existing concept if it was connected like this in your mechanical switch? Then u can try it out. Not sure if u get what i mean.

Disclaimer: i trial and error my own switches and is not a professional electrician, if in doubt, best to get a professional. Safety first.

i also trialled and error until sky turn dark hahah. might just hire an electrician for one switch..

Hi! I am not an electrician either, but I also did up TC2 switches by myself recently. Like what shacboi has mentioned, the wire that connects the other gang switch needs to go together with live wire into L1, else the rest of the switches will not power up. It happened to me while i was fixing two side by side switches as well

The extra wires part I am not sure. either you have one switch that turns up 2 lights or was there a 2 way switch mechanism ? TC2 does not allow 2 way switches, I had to deactivate one of my original 2 way corridor light into 1 way. In doubt get an electrician, always make sure the electrical circuit breaker is off prior to any work.

I have a couple of Funry light switches and i'm trying to make my RM pro learn it, but i am not sure how to do it correctly. I do NOT have a physical remote for the switches. I cant seem to download the manufacturer's remote on the broadlink app either.
Right now, all i know is when i press and hold the switch, i'll start to hear 1 click, 2 clicks, 3 clicks and 4 clicks, i gathered that 2 clicks is ON, and 3 clicks is OFF.
Are you able to point me in the right direction as to which remote on the broadlink "e-remote" app i should use? or should i be creating my own?
Also, regarding the switches itself, which is the way to properly send out the signals when broadlink is learning? I do not have a remote control. I have managed to randomly download any remote i could find, and RM pro has learned to turn my switch ON/OFF, but it doesnt work very well. The off button doesnt work and i have to hit "ON" both to turn the switch on and off.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi mand1015,

understand FUNRY brand switches are supported by broadlink's e-Control app, therefore you should go to the e-Control app, choose 3rd party switch, and the brand FUNRY, select the respective gang switch and try to pair it.

Another way is using uploaded switch templates by other users, go to e-Control, ''add remote'' , at that page, on top-right corner you see the 'search' magnifying glass, click on it, type 'Funry' and you will see alot of funry templates.

So for example, to simplified things, 1-gang funry switch, so u download a 1-gang funry template. in the e-control app, you will see the on/off button.....
hold ur physical 1-gang switch till u hear a beep.... den u click on the on/off button in ur e-Control funry template, by right the RF signal fires out shld be captured by the physical switch and it will learn that ''that's'' the on/off button.

you can now try press the e-Control on/off button to see it ur physical funry switch is operating, if yes, then you have successfully paired it. Repeat these method to other 2-gang,3-gang switches....

Assumption: funry switch RF remote pairing is the same as most other switches.

if it doesnt work, you may consider getting funry physical remotes to do the pairing to the switches.
