Top 3 Buyer Questions
1. Will this work with my TV or AC brand?
The Homiio IR Controller supports 5,000+ brands including Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Midea, and Haier. Search your brand during setup — if found, all standard functions (power, volume, temperature, mode) are instantly available. If not found, use Learning Mode: point your existing remote at the Homiio device to teach it each button individually.
2. Can I control AC temperature and mode settings — not just power?
Yes. For air conditioners, the app replicates the full remote: power, mode (cool/heat/fan/dry/auto), temperature (1-degree increments, typically 16–30°C), fan speed, and swing. You can also set schedules: "Turn on AC to 22°C Cool Mode at 5:30 PM weekdays" via Homiio Automations.
3. Does this replace my physical remotes?
No — it supplements them. Your original remotes continue to work normally. The Homiio IR device transmits the same IR signals as your original remote. If the app or internet is unavailable, your physical remote always works as a backup.
Setup Guide (3 Steps)
Step 1: Plug into any USB adapter, place in the room with line-of-sight to your devices (IR bounces off walls).
Step 2: Open Homiio app, add the IR controller, select your device type, search your brand or use Learning Mode.
Step 3: Test all buttons in the app. Optionally link to Alexa or Google Home for voice commands.
FAQ
Q: Can one IR controller manage multiple devices?
A: Yes. Configure it for multiple devices (TV, AC, fan) in the same room — each appears separately in the app.
Q: Does it work through walls?
A: No — IR requires line-of-sight or wall reflection. For a different room, use a second IR controller.
Q: Can I schedule my AC to turn on before I get home?
A: Yes. Use Homiio Automations to set time-based on/off schedules with specific temperature and mode settings.
