Review on πŸ“‘ WiFi Infrared Universal Remote Control Hub - Smart IR Blaster for Smart Home Automation with Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT Compatibility by Mark Erandio

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's been 3 months and still working fine

Pretty easy setup if you're familiar with smartphone apps and Alexa configuration. It seems to have hundreds of different "profiles" to suit different TVs. Profiles map different infrared codes to different TV functions (e.g.: on, off, volume up, volume down, channel up, channel down, enter, etc.). However, after testing about 50 profiles (profiles are very easy to browse through), I couldn't find one that performed all functions perfectly. However, I was able to find a profile that definitely suited my needs. All I wanted was to be able to control my TV's power and volume - and it works like a charm. It even lets me use certain commands like "Alexa, turn the TV to 5" and that will increase the volume by 5. Pretty nice. I don't like big, bulky remotes that look ugly, require endless batteries and are easy to lose - so I went with these and I'm not disappointed. My only complaint is the general dissatisfaction with almost all "universal remotes". Products where the matching of certain characteristics is always difficult.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs
