The IR universal remote control allows traditional IR-based appliances to be connected and controlled through Wi-Fi communication and IR remote control. With the smart IR remote control and app, you can easily control IR-based appliances such as the air conditioner (AC), TV, and set-top box anywhere and anytime. Before coming home, you can set the air conditioner to a perfect temperature on the app and enjoy a cozy home life when arriving home.

Solution Benefits
DIY learning
This function enables you to control devices even when they lack remote control codes.
Learning-based match
Without selecting a brand, the IR remote control can learn remote buttons to match the remote codes in the cloud library.
Voice control
You can use third-party voice assistants, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Tmall Genie, and Baidu DuerOS, to control multiple types of linked devices.
Scene linkage
The scenes and automation set in the app can trigger a series of smart devices. For example, when the temperature sensor detects that the indoor temperature exceeds a set value, the AC will be turned on to cool the room down.
IR empowerment
You can empower sockets, lights, sensors, appliances across different categories to have IR capabilities. Support general MCU integration and SDK development.
Solution Functions
