Ideal upgrade for smart homes. My old Xiomi has a built in IR blaster that allowed me to control many devices from my device.
This is increasingly rare in newer phones so the next best option is a IR blaster that we connect to via wifi – this is even more flexible as any phone with the appropriate app can control the devices around the room or even house. Below are some notes I have on this.
