Smart remote

[autumn mica]

I am really looking for a device that can mimmik a remote, i had found and bought the switchbot hub. BUT it doesnt work with bluetooth remotes (wich it doesnt state in description), and i think this one is bluetooth. (DD-2700, for window blinds) and i just cant find an alternative. someone have suggestions?

oh sorry ur a admin, didnt wanna tag you

No worries! Doing a quick search says that the frequency used is 433 MHz. A Broadlink RM4 Pro might work, but can't say it for sure...

As I'm not using your device myself

The Broadlink works perfectly with Home Assistant too

OMG thank you so much

shiii thats a lot of money xD

i think it doesnt work :/

it might just not exist?

i mean i cuild just buy 2 switch pressers, and stick em to the remote

[fallow depot]

But I don't think your remote works with Bluetooth tho... It uses 433 MHz, so it's probably RF

I'm not sure where you're from but there are some from €20 already, doing a quick searc

Because we all use different currencies, I converted the currency used in the message.

€20 is around £17.3 and around $20.68

Shuildnt the switchbot hub work then?

Nah i am dutch.. but i saw one for 20 too yeah

[fallow depot]

I think this hub can only handle bluetooth and wifi

[autumn mica]

mmmh okay

I think you are wrong here switchbot works with IR remotes infact most of the hubs do but yeah they may not work with BT remotes . I have switchbot hub but unfortunately no BT remotes to mimick

[fallow depot]

The product details are only showing something about Bluetooth and nothing about RF nor IR... So I assumed it doesn't support it

[tribal juniper]

Yeah i have one of those hubs and have configured my dumb AC and TV remotes via switchbot . Unfortunately not able to configure those in my HA as switch not currently supports only physical devices not virtual ones

[fallow depot]

Thanks for the information! It's such a shame that the product details are so limited

[fallow depot]

Is it IR or RF?

[tribal juniper]

The AC one is IR not sure about the tv i think it supports both ir And BT

[fallow depot]

Gotcha, I think the remote @autumn mica uses has RF

So it still would make sense why it isn't working 😅

[tribal juniper]

Yeah I am curious do consumer devices these days come with RF,
