The main reason I bought it was because I have an Inventor A/C without Wi-Fi that I wanted to be able to control and schedule to turn on at specific times in the bedroom during the night.
Also, as an extra feature for some IR devices that are not smart (TV, fans). And all of this to be connected to my Google Home.
If your A/C is in the program's "library," everything is fine. But from what I discovered, the "Inventor" company does not have the Broadlink program in its library, and there was an option to use it as a smart device, to program the A/C's functions one by one.
For example, [turn on device + 27 degrees + heat + 1 level of air intensity], which was all one button.
If I wanted it to go to 28 degrees, I had to create a new command [turn on device + 28 degrees + heat + 1 level of air intensity], and so on for all the degrees and other modes (Cool).
All of this is because the A/C remote control sends a unique code to the machine every time you change something, like the temperature, mode, or air intensity. This makes it difficult to program compared to a TV where each button is separate!
The other option is to try different companies to see if their remote control is compatible and avoid all these problems.
Luckily, I found the first compatible company with Inventor, which is "Midea."
Now, in the case of the TV, there is a button in the program that says CH (channels), where you can program each channel of the TV one by one and add a photo as the button's logo, such as Ant1, Mega... which, in my opinion, is convenient so that we don't have to search for each channel one by one until we find the desired one.
The negative aspect of the TV is that because the ON and OFF buttons are the same, if you are not there to see the TV, you don't know if you turned it off or not in order to turn it off remotely. In contrast, with the A/C, the OFF and ON are separate functions, so you can remotely turn it off if you are not sure if it is already off, just by pressing OFF on your phone, and nothing will happen if it is already off because it will remain off!
In general, it is worth the money if you want to make your devices smart in a very affordable way (17.19 €) and control them with voice commands or from your phone.
I am considering buying another one for the living room for my other devices.
