BroadLink Customer Insights

1. But, whoever's idea it was to only allow 7 remote buttons, max, on the screen cuz the rest of it is taken up by a giant pointless icon of the device that you can not change or get rid of, and one last button to access the rest of the buttons, should be fired.Works. Kinda weak item description Edit: To reply to dev, just put more effort into the descriptions of what each text field and radio button actually does.

2. Just an average app is all.The app did not find my remote device on my 2.4ghz wifi and i had to first connect to its own wifi then back to mine then it worked.

3. Now voice controls work for my ac again!Very good with affordable accessories! It works as expected and is easy to set up using the remotes from the original devices.

4. It does turn on when I run the scene within the app, which is too many clicks.Will not connect to 2.4Ghz WiFi.

5. After they told me that I would have to use scenes I pointed out that I had been controlling the service with voice controls for months without needing to have a scene for each button.

6. The advanced things on a HT AVR remote are a little harder to use, but work.

7. It asks everytime I open the app.It's a real pain to connect to wifi but when you finally do, it's great.

8. Allows me to make "smart plugs" out of dumb remote plugs which is much cheaper.

9. Setting up a device is often frustrating because it doesn't always work, but sometimes will.

10. The most annoying thing, is that this Broadlink app sees my Roku TV on the Wifi network and keeps asking me to add it.

11. I cant find any way to make it display the temp in Fahrenheit.I'm holding back one star for a huge design flaw, but otherwise it's a great app.
