For example, setting the sleep timer in our bedroom takes several seconds before it sets it. Downstairs the volume and input switching is slower than normal. ### 4/5 — In the dark! *2026-07-14, version 1.7.67* Used the BroadLink to control some motorize Allen & Roth shades. Works fine. Look forward to connecting more devices in the future. ### 4/5 — Excellent automation tool *2026-05-30, version 1.7.67* This tool has been great for automating my entertainment center. There are sometimes issues where automations fail, but upon retry they always succeed. ### 1/5 — Absolute trash *2026-05-24, version 1.7.67* Impossible to even set up an RM4 Mini due to the extremely flawed app. Device and company are notorious for setup problems. Throwing this thing in the trash and avoiding the brand forever. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-05-21, version 1.7.67* What I’ve been looking for to control all devices in one entertainment room ### 1/5 — iOS 26.5 Iphone 16 pro max *2026-05-19, version 1.7.67* Not working well on iOS 26.5 Iphone 16 pro max.

Awful product. ### 1/5 — Unable to find its own device. *2026-07-14, version 1.7.67* I’m a fairly tech savvy person. I’ve built my own computers and installed countless devices to my networks over the years. This device is one of the few that has left me frustrated with a raging headache. Apparently other people aren’t having the same issue so maybe I got a bad device but I don’t care. I’m sending it back to Amazon. This was a waste of my time. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-06-30, version 1.7.67* The first light connected. Next 2 stopped blinking but didn’t connect.

Not good ### 1/5 — Nothing works with this *2026-06-19, version 1.7.67* Terrible.. Tried fans, TV, blinds.. nothing works with it.
