BroadLink RM-Pro is an e-Remote Control that can turn your iOS / Android mobile phone into a True Universal Remote Control. The BroadLink RM Pro / RM Mini 3 can connect to your home Wi-Fi router through a one-step setup process. RM Pro / RM Mini 3 can then be positioned anywhere in the house, but keep in mind IR Signal can travel only if the devices are in the line of sight. These devices can control by the “e-Control” or the “Intelligent Home Center” app which is available on iOS and android. If you are techie Android user, then “Broadlink RM Plugin” is something that will really impress you. We will share more about the plugin later.
Broadlink RM Pro vs. RM Mini 3
Similarities:
- Support System: IOS 7.0 + or Android 4.0+
- Compatible with both iPhone and Android phones/ Tabs / Pads.
- Support Wifi 2.4GHz b/g/n: Yes.
- Both Supports IR Function.
- Working temperature: 0~50 degrees.
Difference:
- BroadLink RM pro supports both IR and RF functions (432.5MHz-436.3MHz). If your home has products that support RF functions, RM Pro is the best match. Most Cars even can be unlocked/ locked using RM Pro.
- BroadLink RM mini 3 only supports IR functions.
Since RM Pro has advanced features, and we advise you to purchase it instead of getting the Mini 3. The e-Control App allows the BroadLink RM-Pro to fully utilize its built-in technology, which includes seven infrared LED’s and two RF transmitters that provide 360-degree transmission coverage. The RMPro will control all infrared controlled devices in its line of sight including every equipment that surrounds it. The RM-Pro will control the TV’s, Audio Systems, DVD/ Blu-ray Players, Projector, Air Conditioners and all IR devices whose remotes are available from the e-Control App’s cloud code library. Even if the remote that you required not listed in could, still you have the freedom to manually learn the button by button using the existing remote controller.
Also, Broadlink E-Control App supports 15 built-in remote controls. The BroadLink RMPro also features two RF transmitter/receivers which work on the commonly used 433MHz and 315MHz frequencies. RF Option in RMpro allows the control of all appliances throughout the house; remote controls work on either of those frequencies. Typically, remote-controlled light switches, remote controlled RF sockets, portable Air Conditioners units, fans, and many other appliances work on these frequencies. Through simple manually cloning of the original remote control’s buttons to those of the e-Remote’s user-defined remote controls, you can control your devices from your phone. Once configured you have the freedom to control your home devices and appliances using the mobile phone over the cellular network from anywhere in the world. With the built-in timer, the RM-Pro can switch on/off any appliance at pre-scheduled times.
