Broadlink RM2 can control home devices retransmiting IR and RF signals.
It connects to your home wifi network and has applications for smartphones to control all the ir and rf devices.
It’s, by the way, the cheapest way to control ACs TV home theater and cheaper RF light switchs with your phone, because it costs U$ 39,00 on the chinese website.
It would be great controling it with the smartthings hub app!
I understand that this is cheap. But why support a proprietary solution (assuming this is proprietary) when GC iTachs have an open API, and tools for recording IR signals to both the GC format and Pronto (the only things close to a standard for IR sequences). All that is required to send signals to an iTach is a TCP stream, so it should be fairly simple to support without having to reinvent the wheel.
I also bought it (RM2) about a month ago. Tried to get it working with SmartThings, but didn’t get that running. Their iOS app is quite bad by the way. And the timer I set for my vacuum robot is also pretty unreliable. I hope it will be more useful in the future, would be great to start the vacuum as soon as everybody leaves the house…
@Ivy_Growing My curtains are 433MHz by DOOYA which are a sub-brand of SOMFY.
I added the 433MHz remote to the RM2 by finding the built in curtain remote someone had already made with the nice curtain icon. I changed the button lables from Chinese to English and deleted all the unused buttons.
Then I used the learn function in the RM2 to overwrite the commands for my curtain tracks.
Thank you, @joylove. My RM-Pro doesn’t learn the Somfy RC. Either I have different standard of Somfy or the RM-Pro is defective.
UPD: The RM-Pro is OK. It can learn/repeat non-Somfy RF RC @433 MHz.
