The BroadLink RM4 Mini is a small, cheap Wi-Fi infrared blaster, and for a Dubai bedroom or studio with one wall-mounted split and a TV it is the lowest-cost way to get app, timer and Alexa control. It is infrared only, so it has no radio for curtain motors. That is the main difference from the RM4 Pro. The Mini sits on a shelf or dresser, sends infrared in all directions up to about 8 metres, and copies your AC remote from BroadLink's cloud library or by learning its buttons. Any split with an infrared handheld remote works. It cannot control chilled-water fan coil units run by wired wall thermostats, which most district-cooled tower apartments have, or ducted and VRF systems on wired controllers. There is no sensor inside and no power adapter in the box. Buy the RM4 mini S set with the HTS2 USB cable if you want the AC to switch on when a room passes a set temperature. Compared with the Sensibo Air or tado, it costs a fraction of the price and also runs your TV. Its AC control is basic, though. It sends commands without knowing whether they worked, has no smart comfort mode and no native Apple Home. It is a good fit for maid's rooms, kids' rooms, holiday lets and tenants on a tight budget. For a master bedroom where steady overnight comfort matters, a Sensibo is the better tool.

The RM4 Mini suits rooms with a wall-mounted split and a handheld infrared remote, which covers most villa bedrooms, maid's rooms and older apartments. If your apartment has a wired wall thermostat and chilled water from Empower or Emicool, the fan coil has no infrared receiver, and this will not control it. Ducted and VRF units on wired panels are the same. The box has only a USB cable, so plug it into any UK 5V 1A USB charger. BroadLink rates it to 50°C, so keep it inside, not on a sunny sill. Infrared does not pass through walls, so each room needs its own unit. Because commands are one-way, a family using the normal remote will leave the app out of step. For holiday homes it is a cheap way to switch off ACs left running between guests.
BroadLink in the UAE. Chinese maker of Wi-Fi infrared and RF remote hubs that control split ACs, TVs and other remote-controlled devices from an app or voice assistant. Sold in the UAE through BroadLink's own seller on Amazon.ae. The hubs ship without a power adapter, so any UK 5V USB charger is needed.
