Broadlink RM-MAX Universal Smart Home Hub

Broadlink RM-MAX – Universal IR + RF Smart Hub

This is the device that makes your AC, TV, fan, audio system, and any 433 MHz RF device controllable from your phone. It learns the IR signals from your existing remotes – point the remote at the RM-MAX, press a button, and the hub now mimics it.

The result: one tiny puck on your TV stand replaces every remote in your house. Schedule them, group them into scenes (“Movie Night” = AC to 22°C, TV on, lights dim), or control by voice through Alexa or Google.

Why people buy it

• Make your dumb AC smart. 99% of Lebanese ACs are infrared-controlled – the RM-MAX learns your AC’s remote and now you can turn it on from outside the house. Walk into a cool room every evening.
• Bring old Chinese RF switches into the smart era. If you have those 433 MHz wireless switches around the house, the RM-MAX talks to them too – no need to replace them.
• Replace 6 remotes with one app. TV, AC, audio receiver, fan, projector, set-top box – all in one place.
• Works locally even when Wi-Fi is down. Scenes and automations stored on the RM-MAX keep running without internet.

Key Features

• IR (38 kHz) – learns and mimics any infrared remote: AC, TV, fan, projector, audio, set-top box.
• RF (433 MHz) – talks to older RF switches, garage door remotes, motorized curtains, alarm systems.
• BLE quick pairing – first-time setup is faster via Bluetooth.
• Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) for app control from anywhere.
• Broadlink app on iOS + Android.
• Alexa + Google Home voice control.
• Scenes + routines – “Good Morning” turns on AC + lights + opens curtains in one tap.
• Local storage – automations run even without internet.

💡 Pro Tip: Place the RM-MAX in line of sight to your AC unit (it sends IR signals like a remote). Then create a scene called “Coming Home” that turns the AC on 15 minutes before you usually arrive. By the time you walk in, the room is already cool. Set it once and forget it – works every weekday at 6 PM.
