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

[attachmentid=8432667]

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

How many did you get and how long have they been working so far?
Also, how long is the command line?
Does it sound like 'Alexa, tell broadlink switch to turn/off lights' or is it shorter?
Btw, is it a 1 way/2 way communication for switch?
Last review I read mentioned that it's 1 way, like if you turn it off the app didn't update the last current on/off condition

I think they see where it from. Rather the price.

So far so good for me. Some is even over RM500. But never kena.

Don't no how they choose to tax.

They don't reimburse for that?
Lazada does that for import purchase if you're charged any

then have to add postage and taxes, i think better to get from Lazada (no need pay postage, or taxes)
sometimes can even get further discounts

the switch cannot do dimming right?

No tax, just postage (rm13 for 1st kg, then rm6 for next 0.5kg)
Not sore about that, mostly on/off

I've read on that one.
But the control is a bit different since don't have dedicated on/off button like other normal rf remote control

1 guy tried using with broadlink but it didn't work properly.
You can search for it on YouTube, forgot which link

I bought 2 x two gang switch, each cost ~ RM40, just install recently so I can't confirm it is reliable or not
each button in the Broadlink e-control app has an entry in the RM tasker, you can create a macro to combine multiple button actions, then, you can create a Alexa device contain the macro, let say I create movie macro which to turn on TV and amplifier, and I create Alexa device name in RM tasker call Watch Movie, then, you can talk to Alexa like

"Alexa, turn on Watch Movie", Alexa will automatically execute the movie macro actions

Broadlink TC is 1 way communication, just like other IR devices. z-wave, zigbee, wifi are mostly 2 ways communication

Thanks for the feedback

I thought it was also wifi switch, that explains it
Your broadlink also in the same room like switch right? How's the rf signal coverage?

my switch is just 5 meters away from the broadlink hub, so signal is good.
