I’ve been controlling my shutter motors with my Broadlink RF Pro for a couple of years with a 99% success rate. Very occasionally one motor might not receive a command - no big deal. But over the past few weeks it has become terrible. I’m lucky if I get a 30% success rate when sending RF commands to the 15 motors around the house. Each room has its own RF remote to control the shutters and those work fine, so that rules out the motors themselves.
Have there been any changes to the Broadlink integration, or does anyone have any ideas why it’s suddenly so bad? It’s the original RM Pro. I’ve just bought a new RM Pro 4 and, as a last resort, will re-learn all the RF codes, but it’s a very time-consuming process and I just can’t understand why it’s become so inconsistent.
Yes, I’ve restarted the RM Pro a few times and also moved it to a different location as a test, but I had the same result, so I moved it back to its original position. I’ve also replaced the USB power supply. I use the IR on the RM Pro to turn on my projector, and that seems to be pretty reliable.
The way I learned the commands was by pairing each shutter motor to a single remote control. The remote has a “control all” button, so I just learned that “control all” button for each room rather than learning each individual shutter motor, and that worked well for the past couple of years.
I only bought the RM Pro 4 because I was out of ideas trying to fix it. I haven’t had time to set it up yet - all I’ve done is add it to Home Assistant. If it were interference, I would expect the remote controls I use for each room to have the same issue, as they’re sending the same RF commands, and they appear to be fine.
I think my last resort is to relearn the RF commands using the new RM Pro 4 and see if that works.
