I've got 2x Meross IR controllers that both unexpectedly decided to stop turning on (at the same time?), so im looking for a replacement.

Just thought id check if anyone has any experiences with these cheap Tuya Smart controllers that are on ebay?
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/165945825076

The blurb claims it can do IR, RF and Bluetooth, which i find hard to believe. Assuming the bluetooth is a mistake, the RF controller has caught my attention - most notably because my understanding is I could then automate the motor on my front gate, as it's mimicking a clicker… The other RF appliance in my house is a motorised projector screen and it would be neat to automate this.

If, by some small chance, the bluetooth is not a mistake, would anyone know if Tuya could easily control an Amazon Fire Stick?

Part of me suspects the cheap price is too good to be true and i should just get Broadlink controllers from Amazon, but it's a leap in price, and we all love a bargain..

So, any advice most welcomed. thank you.

    I don't think any of these do bluetooth control outside of just communicating with the phone app.

    RF control will depend on whether it properly supports the way your remote encodes the command. Whether it's a fixed command or rolling code, and whether they're setup to support that particular manufacturers method of rolling code. That and the frequency, but most of those remotes will be at 433mhz anyway.

    It would be nice to hear from someone who has bought one as opposed to people like me who has not. Perhaps the Bluetooth is Bluetooth mesh (similar but different to ZigBee). I have bought a ZigBee Tuya hub for about $15. It has been working faultlessly for over 2 years. Prior to purchasing it I googled it and watched some YouTube videos.

    The Mirabella genio is Tuya. Reading this might help

      Thanks for that and the link to the older thread too.
