Techie Review - Remote Controls

Good build quality unit, works well with a few functions. Voice control and recognition in Alexa. *** Audio hardware voice control was not supported. know. Not intending to use my voice to control the volume, just wanting to turn it on, I set up my Yamaha receiver as a TV and went through the automatic setup - (didn't work) after being asked to try a bunch of codes off by repeatedly pressing the power button in the app until it works. After learning this, I named it "Audio" and after that the Alexa app was able to recognize it. The app is my biggest problem. The first is the number of permissions you must agree to. NOTHING of functionality is required to make phone calls, access my photos, contacts and personal files. This software pretty much has admin access to your phone. Second, do something about Chingrish. the translations were semi-azzian at best. Aside from these issues, the device works [btw, after installing it, I edited all the phone's permissions and blocked their admin rights. ] you have to agree to this crap just to install the app. don't take advantage of it.

Pros
  • Audio & Video Accessories
Cons
  • Not Bad
