Problem Description
Your Broadlink RM4 Pro is not learning IR commands from your TV remote, not capturing RF signals, or learned commands are not controlling your devices.
Common Causes
- Remote battery too low for strong signal
- Wrong learning mode selected
- Device positioned incorrectly during learning
- RF device uses unsupported frequency
- WiFi connection issues
Solutions
1. Setup for IR Learning
- Open Broadlink app
- Select your RM4 Pro device
- Tap Add Remote then Learn
- Choose IR for infrared devices
2. Proper Learning Technique
- Use fresh batteries in original remote
- Point remote directly at RM4 Pro from 2-3 inches
- Press button firmly for 1-2 seconds
- Wait for confirmation before next button
3. Setup for RF Learning
- Select RF instead of IR when adding remote
- Choose the frequency if known (315MHz or 433MHz)
- RM4 Pro supports both common RF frequencies
- Hold RF remote very close during learning
4. Test Learned Commands
- After learning, test each command
- Point RM4 Pro toward the device you want to control
- Ensure no obstructions for IR signals
- RF commands work through walls
5. Use Cloud Database
- Instead of learning, try cloud remotes
- Search for your device brand and model
- Download pre-made remote profile
- Test if commands work
6. Check Device Position
- IR requires line of sight to controlled device
- Place RM4 Pro where it can see all your IR devices
- Consider IR extender cables for hidden placement
7. Reconnect WiFi
- If device shows offline, reset WiFi
- Press reset button for 5 seconds
- LED will flash for setup mode
- Reconnect in Broadlink app
When to Contact Support
Contact Broadlink Support if the device will not enter learning mode, LED shows error codes, or RF learning fails on all devices.
