What is IR Remote?
IR Remote is an app that turns your phone into a universal remote control for your home appliances and electronics. It allows you to control devices that use infrared signals, such as TVs, air conditioners, stereo systems, DVD players, and more.
The app works by using your phone's camera to capture and learn the infrared signals from your existing physical remotes. Once configured, you can use your phone to control all your devices that would normally require multiple remote controls. It has an easy-to-use graphical interface that lets you organize your remotes into customized groups and pages.
Key features of IR Remote include:
- Works as a universal replacement for nearly any infrared remote control
- Learns infrared signals from your existing remote controls
- Creates unlimited customizable remote pages for different rooms or device types
- Allows adding macros to perform sequence of remote actions with one tap
- Requires no additional hardware other than your phone's built-in infrared transmitter
Some extra perks are home screen widgets for quick access, the ability to share remote setups with other users, support for voice commands, and custom themes/layout options. Overall, IR Remote takes the convenience of universal remotes to the next level by using your smartphone.
