I’m using the RM4 Pro to control Fanco fans via RF in 3 rooms, no issues.
Was still new to smart home back then which was 6 years ago.
If I were to redo the RF control part, I’ll probably look at Tuya ecosystem options.

For Mitsubishi Aircon control, read the earlier posts, best to avoid using IR to control.

Is Broadcom rm4 pro still the best to control non smart fanco rito fans and Mitsubishi air cons?

Is one RM4 pro sufficient for standard bto 4 room flat?

Not worth to me.

I just use a universal Tuya IR + RF hub.

Good enough for me.

What do you use to enable remote access for Home Assistant ?

Nabu Casa cloud ? Cloudflare / Tailscale ?

Recently got some Tuya zigbee switch, seems like there is pretty good advancement. Even non-neutral switch can serve as router as well, kind of surprise.

I think their quality has improved over the years.

My 40-50 Tuya devices are working well after 1+ year.

Only 1 switch casualty so far. Managed to get replacement from Smatrul.
