Broadlink Connect
Your Broadlink remotes and plugs: the buttons you learn from your own remotes, macros, plugs on and off, and the sensor's readings. All on your own network.
A built-in widget in EdgeOS, the desktop widget app for Windows 10 and 11. Put it on any monitor or on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE, at any size, next to your other widgets. It's part of EdgeOS Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.
