Just one big flaw
Fairly straightforward to set up, and works surprisingly well on my aircon and home theatre.
However, there are two things that knock off a couple of stars. First is that a service has to be running to connect to the device, and that must be on (in my case) an Android phone and running all the time. If I'm not home it doesn't work, and timed commands are useless. I got around this by installing Android on a VM on a server I have running at home and that does the job nicely.
The other problem is when learning IR commands there is only five seconds to get from your phone to pick up the remote you are trying to learn, point it at the top of the Black Bean and press the right buttons. When you get there in time it works well, but with the Black Bean installed up high it can be quite difficult and very annoying. It really needs two people.
