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.

Can be a bit difficult to set up if you're not to tech savvy, see first you have to download an app and connect it to your WI-FI. Then let it discover the device and then go to a sub-page in the app to add the devices you want to control via brand. Next thing you have to do for it to work with Alexa Echo, you have to add it to ALEXA'S TALENTS ( actually once you download the app thats the first thing you want to do.) All that being said and done though, once it's setup, works flawlessly. I've got 3 one on living room that controls all my electronics, bedroom and wife's office/ den.

So far it works just great. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and haven't had any issues. I coupled it was a Merkury 4 port smart plug so I could easily turn on/off the kids' TV in the basement. The smart plug is needed so I know that the TV is off, as the IR signal can either turn the TV on or off (this is common for most TV remotes and isn't a fault of the device). My TV, a Vizio that is at least 12 years old, was already known by the device, so setup was simple. There are hundreds of preset devices in the software. So I would assume that most IR controlled devices would work just as easily. The box came with a brown gunk on it (no clue what it was) but the actual controller was in good condition. It integrates well with the Smart Life app. To use it in Google Home, you will need to set up smart automation in Smart Life. One of the other reviews details how to do it and was very helpful. Overall I am happy with it so far.

Tried to connect it to a 2018 Friedrich split unit. No luck whatsoever. It would not read the remote. Then tried it with a Diakin split unit. Better luck this time. However, Alexa reads it as a "thermometer". I can set a timer with Smart Life. Alexa will need a routine. Alexa's controls are more limited then in SL. I was able to rename the device in Alexa but not in SL. Voice commands in Alexa are a little tricky to get right. Overall, for 1/3 the price of other IR devices, I can live with it.
