the hub can connect till 8, unless if u buy the elite, then can go till 15
how does the IR repeater work? i connect one unit to the hub, and the other just put in another room? they will connect wirelessly?
each of these IR unit needs to have a power source right?


my current house 1.2k sqf nia, not those 6k sqf penthouse
Tried IFTTT, couldnt really get it to work wat i need
need to experiment more
the speed of it quite fast, i send a trigger from alexa to ifttt from there to philips hue, about 1 second or so
*
Only thing I don't like is the device limitation with harmony hubs
Not too sure if they would connect wirelessly automatically since I've just recently started reading about them
And for that reason I also bought broadlink rm pro since there's no limits to devices added

There are many smart home devices are running locally without connecting to cloud, and managed by smart phone, especially china brand wifi smart devices like tp-link, home automation solutions like wemo, openhab, home assitant, control4, vera all can work without cloud.
*
Hi, which one are you using now?
Openhab or home assistant easier to setup?

mine has just arrive, dont think will have time to fiddle with it

personally i do not have that really many device, but if it could work ideally in this manner i would be happy (all thru voice command)
living
1. tv
2. soundbar
3. exposure amp
4. PS4 (which doesnt work now i think) or wall mount fan
5. Kodi (if its possible)

room
1. tv
2. apple tv
3. wall mount fan

so max out about 8 items or so for my setup

broadlink seems interesting, may ask my fren to consider if he wanna set up smart home
the hub itself doesnt seem very expensive
and it seems like one for all instead of my setup
mine i need the pc to run 24/7 just to act as bridge to link alexa and vera

I'm not sure about vera, but with alexa you can install tasker on any android box and it can act as bridge and control broadlink

There's also home assistant app that you can install on raspberry pi board but it does require a bit more tinkering to configure properly with your existing devices.

If you only have ir devices (mostly with aircon/fan) you can just get the cheaper broadlink mini 3 (no rf).
I'm getting the broadlink pro since I might be planning to also get rf wall switches.
Particularly for 4 gang wall switch, since most wifi switch only has 1/2 gang only.

The broadlink TC RF wall plate doesn't require neutral line, just a live wire is good enough.

I have managed to integrate the broadlink RM Pro and RM Mini 3 to Alexa, the RM tasker app running on Android has feature to bridge Alexa and Broadlink eControl app, now I can use Alexa to voice control all broadlink devices cool2.gif
