BroadLink HTS2 Temperature & Humidity Sensor USB Cable for RM4 Pro / RM4 Mini
Enhance your BroadLink smart home setup with the Abhir-online BroadLink HTS2 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Accessory. This innovative device uniquely integrates a highly accurate temperature and humidity sensor directly in-line on a USB power cable. Designed for seamless integration, it replaces the standard USB cable for your BroadLink RM4 Pro or RM4 Mini universal remote, providing real-time environmental data directly to your BroadLink app.
The HTS2 features a compact, discreet design. Simply connect it between your RM4 mini/Pro and a USB power adapter (DC5V/1A). If your RM4 device is already configured, the temperature and humidity readings for the sensor's location will automatically appear in the BroadLink app's control panel for that RM4 device. For new RM4 setups, just use the HTS2 cable from the start and follow the in-app wizard.
While current functionality focuses on displaying temperature (0°C~50°C) and humidity in the app, BroadLink is actively working on future updates to enable linkage functions, such as triggering air conditioners or allowing Alexa to announce readings. This user-friendly, plug-and-play sensor cable is a testament to innovative smart home solutions, making environmental monitoring accessible and effortless through Abhir-online.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: What devices is the HTS2 sensor cable compatible with?
A1: The HTS2 is specifically designed for and only works with BroadLink RM4 Pro and BroadLink RM4 Mini universal remotes. It is NOT compatible with RM mini3, RM Pro+, BestCon RM4C mini, or other models.
Q2: How do I see the temperature and humidity readings?
A2: Once the HTS2 cable is connected to your RM4 Pro or RM4 Mini and a power adapter, the temperature and humidity readings will be displayed within the BroadLink app on your smartphone, on the control panel for that specific RM4 device.
Q3: Can this sensor trigger my air conditioner or other appliances?
A3: Currently, the HTS2 sensor primarily displays temperature and humidity data in the app. BroadLink has stated that linkage functions (like triggering an AC based on temperature) are planned for future software/firmware updates.
Q4: Does this replace the original USB cable for my RM4 Mini/Pro?
A4: Yes, the HTS2 cable functions as both the power cable for your RM4 Mini/Pro and integrates the temperature/humidity sensor. You use it instead of the standard USB cable that came with your RM4 device.
Q5: Does this sensor work with Google Home or Alexa?
A5: The HTS2 itself displays data in the BroadLink app. While your RM4 Pro/Mini can work with Google Home and Alexa for controlling other devices, the ability for Google Home/Alexa to directly announce the HTS2's temperature/humidity readings is a planned future feature by BroadLink, not yet active.
