By doing this, you can make any IR controlled appliance "smart". As an added bonus, this device can also give you accurate temperature and humidity readouts. You have to use the Broadlink app to connect this device to your wifi network. The broadlink app is a little finicky and doesn't seem to work on some devices. I tried initially on an iphone and it didn't work. When I tried it on an android phone, it instantly recognized the device and I was able to set it up. You can use the Broadlink app to learn IR codes from your existing remote and then blast them out on command through the app. The IR LED seems to be very strong and it always triggers my A/C. The device has not gone offline or dropped Wifi connection in a couple of weeks. It reconnected back to wifi seamlessly after a power outage once. Broadlink has several similar devices and this one seems to be the best value for money. It is also very small and can be discretely hidden behind a cabinet or other furniture. The real trick is to pair this device with a home assistant setup. That way, you can automate a lot of dumb devices around the house. Review: Useful IR blaster gave new life to older AV equipment - This device brought missing functionality to some older A/V equipment that doesn't always play nicely with smart devices. Previously I had to keep 2 remotes out to access the sleep timer, and to turn on/off my surround receiver. I appreciate the added functionality of the temperature/humidity sensor. The Broadlink app works fine to get started, although I have moved to using the integration with Home Assistant. ## Features - 【All-in-One Smart Remote Hub】RM5plus is our 5th-generation universal smart remote for controlling over 5,000 infrared appliances—TVs, air conditioners, fans, set-top boxes and more. Supports IR-controlled devices at 38KHz only. Not compatible with RF, Bluetooth, or any non-IR 38KHz protocols. Declutter your space and enjoy seamless smart control throughout your home. - 【Remote Control from Anywhere】Connect via Wi-Fi (2.4GHz only; not compatible with 5GHz or mesh routers) and control all your infrared appliances remotely using the BroadLink app. Wi-Fi SSID and password must be under 32 characters, otherwise connection will fail. Turn on the air conditioner before arriving home or switch off devices when you're out—ideal for comfort and energy saving. - 【Hands-Free Voice Control】Compatible with Alexa and Google Home. Use voice commands to control your TV, change channels or adjust your AC. Voice control is available for preset functions in the BroadLink app; buttons learned manually cannot be directly recognized by third-party devices. Enjoy the ease of hands-free control and smarter living. - 【Smart Scenes, Scheduling & Automation】Set up one-touch scenes for daily routines—like Movie Night to power on your TV, speakers and DVD player together. Create ‘Leave Home’ mode to turn off all appliances in one tap. Automate timers to optimise comfort and energy use. - 【Manual IR Learning with “UserDefine”】Can’t find your device in the BroadLink database? Use the “UserDefine” panel to manually learn and store commands from your original remote—ideal for older or uncommon IR devices. Note: RM5plus works via infrared signals, which require direct line-of-sight and do not pass through walls or furniture. For best performance, use it in the same room as your appliances. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0F8Q4B5ZB | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,952 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #2,640 in Remote Controls (Electronics) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (630) | | Date First Available | May 9, 2025 | | Item Weight | 3.56 ounces | | Item model number | RM5 plus | | Manufacturer | Hangzhou BroadLink Technology Co., Ltd. | | Package Dimensions | 3.35 x 2.64 x 2.05 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Broadlink - **Color:** black/silver - **Compatible Devices:** Air Conditioner - **Max Number of Supported Devices:** 10 - **Special Feature:** Universal ## Images ![RM5plus Universal Infrared Remote, Voice Control with Alexa & Google Home, Wi-Fi Smart Home Hub for TV, AC and Audio (IR 38KHz), 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Only - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nJe9nTY7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device, slightly tricky setup process *by A***R on December 18, 2024* This device essentially replicates any IR remote that you have lying around.

Previously I had to keep 2 remotes out to access the sleep timer, and to turn on/off my surround receiver. I appreciate the added functionality of the temperature/humidity sensor.

Everytime it says the device says it is connected, after a short time it comes back with 'failed to set up device.' My wifi network was on the 2.4 ghz band. The instructions included are simple quick setup, but have no trouble shooting or detailed information on what to do. Second day, I was planning to return the device, but decided to try setting it up again. I have the eero wifi mesh, this time, I didn't set my network to 2.4ghz only, I also didn't turn off my phones cellular data. What I did do was turn off the wap 3 in the eero app, which I didn't think to try the day before. It worked. The device set up right away. After it is set up, you can turn the wap 3 back on. No issues now at all. It is working good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/740835027-rm5plus-universal-infrared-remote-voice-control-with-alexa-and-google](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/740835027-rm5plus-universal-infrared-remote-voice-control-with-alexa-and-google) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
