The supplier lists it as a Tuya WiFi device with a learning function, powered at 5V. Easy Life Markets sells it as a single unit in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost home appliances with a remote still use \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Consumer_IR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003einfrared\u003c\/a\u003e, the invisible light a handset flashes at the front of the device. This hub does the same flashing, but it takes its orders over your home Wi-Fi. That means you can switch the air conditioner on from another room, set a timer for the TV, or stop hunting for a handset that has gone down the back of the sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × infrared remote control hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier's packing list names the unit only.

Infrared passes through it, and hubs of this shape send their signal in all directions so they do not have to be aimed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Learning Function\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA built-in code list never covers everything. Learning fills the gap. You point the original remote at the hub, press a button, and the hub records the code and stores it against a button in the app. It is slower than picking a brand from a list, because each button is taught one at a time, but it means an obscure fan, heater or older TV can still be added. You need the original remote in working order to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Can and Cannot Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfrared appliances only.\u003c\/strong\u003e If the original remote has to be pointed at the device, it is almost certainly infrared and is a candidate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Bluetooth or radio remotes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Many streaming sticks, some smart TVs' pointer remotes and most garage doors use radio and are outside what an infrared hub can do.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne room at a time.\u003c\/strong\u003e Infrared does not go through walls. The hub has to be in the same room as the appliances, with a reasonably clear view of them. For another room you need another hub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir conditioners are a special case.\u003c\/strong\u003e Their remotes send the whole state (mode, temperature, fan) with every press, which is why the app treats them differently from a TV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore You Buy: Three Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi band.\u003c\/strong\u003e The supplier does not state the band. Most hubs of this kind connect on 2.4 GHz only, so make sure your router offers a 2.4 GHz network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe app.\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing describes a Tuya device. Tuya-platform devices are normally added in the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app. The supplier's listing does not name the app, and it does not list any voice assistant support, so we do not claim any.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower.\u003c\/strong\u003e It needs 5V and should stay powered all the time.

Avoid shutting it inside a cabinet. If one appliance does not respond, move the hub before assuming the code is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It Suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople with several remotes on the coffee table, anyone who wants the air conditioner running before they get home, and households where a handset has been lost but the appliance still works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it replace the original remotes?\u003c\/strong\u003e For everyday buttons, yes.
