Can google home give a command to this device to turn off a certain device in 30mins for example?

Dont think so at the moment but you can create a scene in IHC app with timer delay and activate it using google home.

Remove all wires at the back , close back the front panel at the front, can touch touch abit to ground off the capacitor charges . Then let connect back the wires , screw back the switch . Remember must put back the front touch panel. Wait for 3 mins before turn on the main at the circuit board

Thanks for the advice! do you mean i have to take out all the wires from the switch for 5 mins before connecting them back?

or if i were to switch off the main MCB and turn back on again that will work?

Try using IFTTT to do that see can do that

I havent plunged in to buy the device yet. If it has no timer function the I'll probably hold off for the moment.

Just sharing, i'm using a google home, with Home-Assistant https://www.home-assistant.io/ with RM-pro+. Able to control everything that uses IR and RF, without creating any scenes in IHC app since the syncing is with Home Assistant and Google Home, instead of Google Home with IHC app.

Don't understand.
Where is your home assistant installed? On raspberry pi?

Is there any guide you used in sitting up? Seems quite complex to set it up.

I had to google a lot. Basically you will need a raspberry pi to install your home assistant. This will be your hub. Then link your RM Pro to the home assistant and set up your devices, most of the time by learning the IR/RF remotes. Then, from Google Home app, under home control add the Home Assistant account. You can then control your devices using voice.. it will relay to HA and then to RM Pro.

It is simpler to use IHC app and google assistant compare to home assistant on raspberry pi. The IHC app and google assistant have stablised recently. No more "handshake" issue.

Agree, but I find it a bit unfriendly with Google Home (or maybe just me). I have to create a scene in IHC for it to appear in Google Home app, even just to on/off a device. Or am I doing it wrong?

Anyway, with home assistant, I have the option to customize it and have sequence of events including delays.. and even control my living room PC which is connected to my TV... so I can just tell Google, I want to watch from my computer and it will turn on my computer, turn on my TV, switch straight to HDMI1, and turn on my receiver, switch to HDMI1 also..

Just ordered a RM Pro + and Blackbean with Echo dot from Lazada.

Is Alexa and IHC integration working fine in Singapore at the moment? (Open to using Google Home Mini also since Starhub bundles one with their broadband plan now)

Looking forward to setting up my Fanco fan, TV and other IR/RF stuff to work with voice control.

I got myself a pi as well, and had a hard time installing homeassistant. gave up in the end. Just not a coder and very hard to understand the language.

Does your raspberry pi have to be turned on and connected to your laptop 24hr a day for your home automation? or do you just need to power up and wifi enable it?

i followed the instructions given on the website to install on the SD card. Then just added the line to add broadlink in configuration.yaml.

My raspeberry pi is usb powered by my router.. so both is always on and always connected to my wifi.

Depending on the compatiblity of the devices. Recently there was a 'handshake' issue between broadlink ihc app and google but it have been resolved.

I was on home assistant 6 mths ago before i port over to ihc app. Both are good devices but home assistant requires a little more knowledge on coding and programming. Nevertheless more and more home automation devices are coming into the market now. To me which ever setup we do, if it is practical and suited to our daily lifestyle, that will be the best setup for us.

Thanks! Spent many hours trying just to install the HA on my pi.. anyways I think will just stick to IHC App..

Is your fanco fan on rf? My samaire on rf but remote control after removing batteries do not see the rf click buttons.

I believe its RF, but I'm still renovating my place so I can't answer you yet.
