BroadLink RM4 Mini vs Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR

The BroadLink RM4 Mini is the stronger overall pick, coming in cheaper and with the better owner rating for basic infrared remote duty. The Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR only wins on sensors, so it remains the better fit if you specifically want temperature-based automation.

The sensor. The Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR has a built-in temperature and humidity sensor that the BroadLink RM4 Mini lacks entirely, letting it trigger an AC or fan once the room passes a chosen temperature. Take that away and the two behave as very similar IR blasters.

Yes. Both the BroadLink RM4 Mini and the Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR are 2.4GHz WiFi-only, infrared-only devices that work with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, with no Apple HomeKit or Samsung SmartThings support on either one.

Not on its own. It has no built-in temperature or humidity sensor, so any temperature-based automation would need a separate sensor. The Moes Temp/Humidity Monitor with IR includes that sensor natively, which is its main advantage over the BroadLink RM4 Mini.

Buyers who just need to control TVs, ACs and other infrared devices as affordably as possible, without needing a built-in room sensor.

Buyers who want their IR control tied to the room's own temperature and humidity readings, and are willing to pay a bit more and accept a lower owner rating for that feature.
