Bring compatible infrared-controlled appliances into a phone-based control setup. This Wi-Fi IR hub lists Smart Life and Tuya app support, command learning and integrations with Alexa and Google Assistant.
A television, air conditioner and audio system can leave several remotes on the table. An IR hub offers a route to consolidate supported commands in an app, with learned commands available where the supplied database does not fit. Position it where its infrared signals can reach the actual appliances, then test the functions you want to use before putting the original remotes away.
Smart Life or Tuya app control offers a place for compatible IR commands from several appliances. Check each model and function rather than assuming a large database automatically supports every remote feature.
02
Learn commands when supported
The DIY learning feature is described for appliances outside the database. That gives you another setup option using a suitable original IR remote, although some signal types or functions may still be unsupported.
03
Add a supported voice route
Alexa and Google Assistant integration is listed for compatible commands. After configuration, selected controls may be available by voice as well as the app, subject to account, service and device support.
