Sorry…

Actually it was a personal app (modifications), which I made public.  
For the moment no updates are planned.

You could try homebridge or home assistant.

Or beg Athom to finally implement IR and RF properly, as it is built in. (And an argument for a lot of people to buy Homey)

Hello,  
I’ve just bought the RM 4 Pro but it’s only IR in the Homey app.  
Normally it should handle IR & RF.

So I have tried to add RM 4 PRO + too. But when I click to “Learn IR command” or “RF” nothing is happened except the sound of the Homey to say “press …”  
I press the remote but nothing…  
When I test with the broadlink app, the remote is found directly

Somebody has already this issue ?

Thanks in advance

Hey @Xavier_Bovi you have to instal the ohter Broadlink app from the community store and than IR works but not RF.

A little how to:  
Install the [Homey Community Store app](https://store.homey.community/hcs).  
Keep an eye on your Firewall(s), if you don’t see any further response within a minute. Because then there seems to be a bit too much blocking…  
Then check if the HCS app is installed via …More\>Settings\>Apps  
If yes, log in to the HCS  
Install the Broadlink app  
Make sure that the “INSTALL” button is green (the HCS app must be running on Homey + logged in to the HCS

Maybe, maybe if you go here  
[https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices)  
And enter the name of the Broadlink device at the search bar.  
All (for us) available device data will be returned.

Could I please get some advice - I’m considering a Broadlink device (moving from Harmony), but my amp is in a cabinet - I can’t be the only ne with this setup and most devices like Harmony / FireTV cube seem to come with an extender, but I don’t seem to see any option for this on the Broadlink devices

That said, I can’t seem to find anywhere that lays out the differences between all the devices so maybe I’m missing something - anyone here dealing with the same?

Thanks

At that price the Broadlink TV Mate comes to roughly the same - do multiple devices work nicely in their ecosystem?

If you mean Homey cloud / bridge by that: impossible.  
Broadlink needs local wifi access.

@Peter_Kawa oh shit, I thought that the communication between the plugs and homey were done through broadlinks backend since they need that to work? I read that the way to get them to work was to pair them with the app they were sold with and then add them to homey.

> I recently bought the Homey v2. And wanted to pair my WiFi smart plug from Clas Ohlson. But couldn’t find a app on Homey for it. After some more research about the WiFi plug, i found out that it was originally a Broadlink plug and was branded to Clas Ohlson. So the solution to pair it with my homey was to: Configure the WiFi plug with the “CO Home” app. Find the IP of the WiFi plug trough the router. The WiFi plug will come up with a name like “BROADLINK\_OUTLET”. Download Broadlink app on th…

Did I misinterpret the mechanics?

They do use the “cloud”, but the connection is local
