I got my IR-only devices working with google home voice commands. I had to do a lot of not-quite-intuitive things to get everything to work: 1) My manufacturer was not in the very limited list so i had to map each button purely manually. But the buttons registered fast! 2)on linking to google home the devices show up but arent quite functional as on/off options. This actually makes sense as the devices dont have a on/off status to report. A dead-end!! 3)you need to set up- "Scene automation" in this device's app as prep for- 4) inside google home you'll need to set up Routines there that call the scenes you made in the app. But this is all clever and necessary to ger a simple IR devices to work.

4 stars is mainly because of the smart life app. Starting with the good, as another person said, this is what harmony should be, and I can't agree more. Price wise is unreal this things works better than ir blasters that cost 2 and 4 times more than it. I tried a broadlink mini and then a harmony hub before trying and loving this one. It has enough devices in it that most everything is in there that you would need. It's small but it works really well. Integration into alexa is the main reason as to why I like this one so much. Harmony's integration is simply terrible and the broadlink mini I never even got on my wifi. I really like automation you can do in the smart life app for multi commands on multiple devices that get picked up by alexa as scenes. I got the one with temp and humidity because why not, and it's really accurate. The ifttt I played with and works fine, but don't intend to use it much. The cons on this device starts with the smart life app in general. I personally don't like it because it feels cluttered. You can't group things and I have a several devices in it now like lights and switches along with two of these ir's now and all the remotes that I set up in the ir. So it's an eye sore of an app with all the devices and remotes on the front page. Personally I prefer structure so it's a con for me anyway. Roku isn't an available device you can select in the setup and the DIY/Custom learning function is painfully irratating. You click the button to learn then it just randomly goes away, after a couple tries it will finally stay up and try to learn the button. Best advice, if you are using that is just keep trying to add it over and over and over again until it finally works and adds because it eventually will. Regarding roku ultra's, you are out of luck on the ok button fully working. Roku in general integrates ok into alexa but has some issues mainly with prime video and voice commands. The blaster was able to learn the ok button but it doesn't work when it's in prime video for some reason through the blaster, I can use the learned one in the main menu and it works in netflix and a couple other apps though which was weird. Best guess is the ok button is sending multiple commands and the blaster is only picking up one. I have an older universal remote that the roku ok button works fine on also, but never could get the ir blaster to learn what the universal remote was sending at all.

I bought this to be able to turn on my AC when I am on my way home. The setup was somewhat difficult but after a few tries it works. First, the manual says to hold the reset button for 5 seconds but it's more like 15 seconds. When adding a device, it doesn't seem you can choose a model model number so I had to use the 4th iteration for my Hisense AC. The first didn't operate it, the second worked but any button pressed toggled power, the second didn't operate it then the fourth worked. I still don't understand how to add additional buttons but it does have buttons for power, temp and fan speed. The worse part is it forces my AC to Celsius but I have it tied to Alexa so I can ask the change the temp in Fahrenheit which it does but in decimal like 75.2 for 76 degrees since it's actually using Celsius. I have attempted to hook the Smart Life app to IFTTT but it appears the device is not supported. Actually none of my devices in Smart Life are showing up. All good though since it is working fine with Alexa. The only major negative issue is that while my AC might be on, both Alexa and Smart Life show it to be off so while away, it might appear to be off so when turning it on via this device it actually turns it off. I had to physically power off my AC to make it match the remote. This has happened twice for some reason. Not sure what to do about this except maybe setup a cheap camera to visually see if t is on or off.

Using this little puck to control my tv and integrate it into my alexa routines. So far so good. Setup was simple, and using advice here in the reviews I have been able to power on/off my tv and select inputs between chromecast and PC by voice with alexa and google home. Hey google, show my chromecast. Pretty slick. I also very much appreciate the use of usb c. Its a small thing, but it means the manufacturers are finally getting with the times. Couple of things I would like to see changed: Temperature is only available in the app, and defaults to celsius. Should be available to voice assistant, and allow to default to fahrenheit. Remember TV power state. You can ask to turn your device on or off but both commands basically send the same signal on my Samsung. This becomes an issue when you for example ask alexa to turn off the living room, and the tv is already off, it will turn on. Not a huge deal, but would be nice to have persistent device state. Otherwise this thing is great, and the range is fantastic. I have it on a shelf behind some decorations, across the room from my tv and it still works everytime.
