Chad's Final "Smart Home" Gadget For August.

had's second and final 'Cheap Smart Home Gadget' is the FA Broadlink Black Bean Smart Home Wifi Remote IR Controller. 

Here's what Amazon says about it: How many remote controls do you have in your family room? And how many are lost under couch cushions or otherwise misplaced? BroadLink RM Mini Wi-Fi Universal Remote integrate all your IR (Compared with RMPRO-US, it canceled RF function) controlled devices into one APP in your smart phone, it uses USB cable to connect with power. Easy set up, one key to one button easy training process to transfer all functions to APP. Automatic codes update from cloud, automatic device matching without learning. Voice control supported, open your TV, air condition, DVD etc. by speaking to RM Mini 3 through APP! Automatic device matching without learning , iOS/Android app control from anywhere.Real time control, intelligent trigers. $25.99 

 

And Chad's take? Chad found this FA Broadlink Black Bean Smart Home Wifi Remote IR Controller device a lot better than the Flic. He said the app wasn't buggy, that it had a huge data base of device codes, and that it was endlessly configurable. You should watch this week's show to get all the details about this device. It uses a cable to connect to power, but that didn't bother Chad. As a matter of fact he said this gadget really wasn't crappy at all. But he did point out that there are several devices that look like the one he purchased, but he wasn't sure if they were all capable of doing the job his did. So he recommends buying the one he bought, which is here:
