Smart IR Remote Control,All in One IR Blaster Control, Universal WiFi Infrared Remote Control for TV DVD Air Conditioner STB etc,Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant

I got my IR-only devices working with google home voice commands. I had to do a lot of not-quite-intuitive things to get everything to work:1) My manufacturer was not in the very limited list so i had to map each button purely manually. But the buttons registered fast!2)on linking to google home the devices show up but arent quite functional as on/off options. This actually makes sense as the devices dont have a on/off status to report. A dead-end!!3)you need to set up- "Scene automation" in this device's app as prep for-4) inside google home you'll need to set up Routines there that call the scenes you made in the app.But this is all clever and necessary to ger a simple IR devices to work.

The media could not be loaded. ** Instructions for adding any button to an Alexa routine at the bottom of my review **PROS- able to be added to Alexa routines- small and sleek- able to control devices spread all over the room- uses standard usb-c (cable included)- my devices were already in the database- can add buttons not in the databaseCONS- none, but it would be nice to add the device straight to the Alexa app, and control all functions straight from the routines menu, but I don’t think any IR device can do this yet.OVERVIEWWOW, this device is awesome, especially when you consider the price. I was surprised by how small the device is (I attached a size comparison with a pen). Setup was pretty easy, I just followed the instructions in the manual, and then connected the smart life skill to use the device with Alexa.MY USE CASEI have this controlling 3 devices: projector, TV, and soundbar. My goal in getting this was to easily transition between using my PS4 while sitting at my desk on my TV, to laying in bed on my projector, and vice versa. This worked out perfectly by using an Alexa routine (see attached video). I was a little worried that a device like this would only emit IR in one direction, similar to a remote, however, it was able to reach 3 devices on separate sides of the room. Amazing! I even pushed it behind my TV and it still works.INSTRUCTIONS TO ADD ANY BUTTON TO AN ALEXA ROUTINEI highly recommend you screenshot this section for later if you intend on using Alexa routines with this product.1. Setup the device as shown in the manual2. Add your device to the smart life app, most devices are already in their database, if it isn’t, choose the most similar device.3. Once the device is added, open the remote for it. If there’s a button that you want that’s not included with the default remote, add a custom button. This will have you point your remote towards the device and hold the button to add, works perfectly.4. Once all the buttons that you want are on the remote in the smart life app, then go to the smart tab in the smart life app and click on the tap-to-run menu. Here you’ll have to create a tap-to-run task for each function that you would like Alexa to receive.5. Once you have all the tap-to-run tasks working within the smart life app, go to the Alexa app, and search for the smart life skill and connect it to your account.6. In the Alexa app, go to the devices tab, click the “+” in the upper right hand corner, tap add device, then scroll to the bottom and tap other. This will pull in all the tap-to-run tasks into Alexa. Alexa will recognize them as scenes, therefore, you will find them in the scenes menu.7. Now you’re ready to create your Alexa routine like normal and just add the appropriate scene to your routine.** if you found this helpful please let me know by clicking ‘helpful’ **

I use this to control my Home Theater projector and receiver. Sometimes when I ask google to turn on or off a device it will say it's not available. That means this device is mysteriously offline or not responding.I haven't done any packet captures to see what's going on with it. Instead I bought a $5 smart plug and if the blaster is offline I'll just power cycle the smart plug. When the blaster comes back online, it works just fine.Fun little tech and you can do a lot with it if you want to get creative. Setup is kinda silly sometimes but you'll get it if you read the steps ppl have provided in their reviews!

Works just as expected. Range is acceptable

Tried with Samsung and Vizio devices. Both should be supported, especially the Samsung. All autodiscovery options never got more than 20% of the buttons to work. Had to manually program each button. Scenes (One-Touch) were a pain to set up in the poor interface. Even then, 90% of the time trying to use one-touch failed with a non-descript error. When it didn't fail with an error, it still only turned the TV once out of 40 tries. Finally, Amazon failed to recognize as devices. After 2 hours and many tries, I did get one device to be recognized, but no verbal commands actually worked. Hardware connected easily and registered all IR signals. It was the supporting software that's horrid. So technically did all it advertised; only with 10% accuracy and effectiveness.

Extremely impressed. Wait for a further review.

I was hoping this IR Blaster would help me control and automate my newest TV and one that was a little over year old. I returned the items because the best it could do with Alexa was to turn on/off the TVs. I have a Fire/Toshiba RV and a TCL 85" TV (December purchase). I attempted to use the LEARN function on mutliple devices and it would not learn from wither of my remotes.Pros:* Decent app* There are a lot of pre-established devices but none of them worked properly.Cons:* Amazon Fire/Toshiba TV-- Only thing I could get to work was turning the TV off/on and changing the volums-- Could not get it to navigate up/down the Fire TV menu* TCL Q series-- I could only get Alexa to turn the TV on/off-- I could only use the app to act as a remote controller* Overall-- Instructions provided are difficult to follow-- You have to provide a power block and longer cable to use the device unless you have a power source within two feet of where you place the device.* Learn function - I could not get it to learn any functions from my remotesI'm returning the devices because it's not worth the price to only be able to use it to turn on/off my TVs. I never got around to trying to control my sound system since it would not control the TVs.
