Hello everybody.
Yesterday my Smartenit harmony p2 stopped responding to Alexa. I tried everything but I could not log into it. So I decided to start all over. Deleted the app. Downloaded the app. Try to login many time.Always got message to try latter. Tried to setup a new account. Same sort of response.
So decided to contact Smartenit support few times. Always went on answering machine. Then I tried to contact, administration, then sales. Always machine says leave a message will call you as soon possible. Tried talking to operator. No answer.
I am beginning to believe that company is out of man power or out of business. Either way I am stuck with devices the don’t work with Alexa.
Can any one of you help me resolve the issue. Would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks..

Yes seems like they closed. Last time I was able to use it was this past Sunday night. No warning or anything,  called all their numbers no answer.

See my reply in the other thread about using the Broadlink RM4 Pro as a replacement for the Harmony.

Hi Brobin

This device dont believe will work with X10 devices and or set schedules etc. like the Smartenit Harmony P2? Need it to also have remote access from Android  etc.

I've been using the Broadlink RM pro  for several years to control x10 via Alexa for several years. Since it is a IR/RF s
transmitter device you need a x10 transceiver like the CM15A.  The Broadlink RM has several apps & skills which have been released over the years. 
There are several threads in the forums on using the Broadlink so I'm sure you can do anything x10 with it and a CM15A.

The Rm pro is now up to version 4 available on Amazon I use the original.
Make sure it is not the mini as it only does IR, also if it doesn't specify the RF frequencies it works with ask. This one specifys  the frequencies https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096TXWMPV?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

Hello everyone
I got broadLink RM4C, today. Spent lot of time trying to connect the app with the device on my iPhone.
Some how it would not work. Then I decided to use iPad and it connected by itself. I did.t have to do any thing.
Now need your help to connect to X10 devices. How do I do that. I don’t see what to connect to. Please help.
Thanks.

brobin

You bought the Broadlink RM4C? You need the Broadlink RM4PRO
I think the C is only IR and does not support RF.

As mentioned above, this is what you need:

Brobin I just opened the site you sent and it says out of stock and don’t know when it will be available.
There are many other with the same name. Could you please check if others are the same. Thank you.
