Which one should you buy?

For most people the TP-Link Tapo H110 at around 42 dollars is the smart IR blaster to buy - Matter-certified, the best-rated pick here at 4.4 stars, controlling 18 device types across more than 8,000 brands, and doubling as a hub for Tapo sensors. The LinknLink eRemote HA at around 24 dollars is the budget way in and the Home Assistant favourite. The BroadLink RM4 Mini at around 40 dollars is the time-served classic - just buy the RM4, not the discontinued RM Mini3 that still lurks in listings. The SwitchBot Hub Mini at around 51 dollars is the pick for the wider SwitchBot ecosystem, the BroadLink RM4 Pro at around 60 dollars is the only one that adds 433MHz RF for blinds and ceiling fans, and the SofaBaton X1S at around 288 dollars puts real buttons back in a home-theatre hand.
