[APP][Pro] Broadlink App

And u made a request for this alr?

I understandā€¦ Let me know if I can test something for you!

RM3 mini have a few variants they call it ā€œBlackā€ and ā€œRedā€. Official Homey app store only support ā€œBlackā€ hardware version. Hence @Pieterv123 out of good will created Broadlinkred initially for support RM3 mini red and further added RM4 mini.

Ah, thx!
I got the wrong one then. Took the latest version number. But got a black colour.
Thx!

Mind u: even the red ones are black!

Hmmm, now I am confused (again :sweat_smile:).
I saw some red ones on Google.

How do I distinguish which one I have then?

If u cannot add it to the e-control app then u have the red bean. If u can add it itā€™s the black version. In Homey apps u get an error with something like ā€œstrange device found, 5f36ā€ for the red bean version.

I could add it to both the BroadlinkRed app as to the official app from the Homey Store.

The e-control (Android) app complain it it designed for an older Android version. It hasnā€™t been updated since 2018 too, according to the Android Appstore.
Already had the BroadLink Android app which is functioning fine.

Any other way to distinguish the two?

I have another variant 27DE, it this should be consider red too, hope @Pieterv123 able to add this too. :roll_eyes:

Is it working?

This is mineā€¦
Can we tell something out of this pic?

I have two variant of ā€œredā€ 27DE and ā€œredā€ 5f36 have same label sticker similar as yours, except one with missing CE & FCC ID

I donā€™t have a ā€œblackā€ one to compare.

Physically both called ā€œBlack/Redā€ are all black in color, cant tell.

If i have ā€œblackā€ one, probably will tear down the 3 variants to compare the chipset. :thinking:

I will try next week, but just add it as unknown. Should work too, I think

Try to add it in the orginal app and you will see the variant

oh btwā€¦ you should hide the barcode if you want to be anonymity :smiley:

Editedā€¦ :slight_smile:

Just to share with the community with better understanding:
Both are RM3 mini , physically black in body.
But this RM3 mini aka known ā€œRedā€ variants
Left : 5F36 for sale outside China market (CE label)
Right : 27DE for sale in mainland China (e Label)

Both 27DE &5F36 only compatible with new BroadLink Application.

Where would I be able to see it then?
Donā€™t see it in the Homey Store App and not in the Android Broadlink appā€¦ :confused:

Using the Official Homey app store - Broadlink App, try add your RM3 mini.
If it successful, it is the ā€œBlackā€ else there will be an error such as **"Found another device: unknown (XXXX) ** "

Then it must be the black version, since it shows up as a known deviceā€¦
Thx
