I have WAY too many remotes for all my lighting and such so I'm going to try one of these. I'm looking at the BestCon RM4C pro (a sub-brand of BroadLink). It's only $30, hope it doesn't suck.

Yes, such a great way to connect your old devices :) Let me know how that model works!

instead of creating a script and using that in a automation i just use the action call service then select remote: send command. The only problem i have is remembering all the commands i created in order to send them. I suppose i could write them all down in notepad or something but were is the fun in that. 😁 I use it to control my TV of course but also use it to control some cheap IR candles and my fireplace insert i bought that just came with a cheap remote control. Using a singled smart plug to monitor the energy through put on the fireplace so i can tell when its on or off, also have some HA helper toggles so can turn it on/off with google assistant when i want to. Use a toggle helper for the candles so i can do the same with them as well.

Great video - thank you. Do you have any recommendations for cost effective NZ wifi power switches and NZ ready power strips with individual wifi controlled sockets? I'm looking for power monitoring on both options. Next video? Thanks in advance!

If you have already taught the RM4 Pro a bunch of devices and commands in its own app, is there any way to avoid all that relearning?

Hi Tom, no unfortunately there is no way to transfer the stored codes in the RM4 to Home Assistant :(

Really thanks for this video but I have a question about it, how does this help us? I mean what is the aggregated value of doing this in HA and last but not least is it possible to know the actual temperature on the air-conditioning?

Thank you for your feedback. I find it really useful, especially to remember to turn off the AC when everyone leaves the home. No, I have not found a way to actually received data back from the AC unit like set temperature.

Try the Bond Bridge, much simpler setup.

@eyhtwozed2606 it is a tiny remote with a coin battery has on off up down. The broadlink learns the code so it does send ir. The logitech repeater also flashes when the remote is pressed.
