AliExpress's bargain under 1 euro that will be sold out

Home automation makes many household tasks more comfortable, from cleaning with smart vacuum cleaners that even empty themselves to lighting or cooking certain dishes. But one of the things that attracts the most attention from people is be able to control your TVfrom turning it on and off to the volume control.

There are currently many SmartTV models that allow voice control by having a built-in assistant, such as Alexa. However, many others do not have this function and, certainly, older models that do not have an advanced operating system either. But it is possible to control them if you have the appropriate device.

There are many universal remote controls that convert the infrared signal into a WiFi signal, allowing you to control the TV from your cell phone or from a voice assistant. What is not normal is to find them at such a low price. Only 0.99 dollars. And that doesn’t mean it’s not compatible with the best home automation apps.

The device can be configured and controlled via Tuya and Smart Life, two of the best-known applications for controlling the home. This avoids the need for a new app to control this device. This, yes, we would need a USB connection to plug it in

since it doesn’t come with a power adapter.

This device uses the 2.4 GHz network to communicate with the rest of the devices, it is therefore necessary to have a network with this frequency. Sometimes mixed 2.4-5 GHz networks are also valid, but not always. This is something that the application itself will indicate if necessary.

Mobile and controller connecting to device

Free Android

To be able to use it, you just have to select the type of television you have and, if it is not in the list, clone remote button by button

although it is not necessary to do it with all of them, only with those we use the most. For example with the main channels, volume and power.

In addition, this device allows you to control other devices that are in the same room, such as the air conditioning or a music or video player which also work by infrared. In this way it is possible to replace several commands with just one, the mobile one. But the most convenient thing is to use voice commands, so you don’t even need to look for your smartphone when you want to turn the TV or air conditioning on or off. Of course, for this you will need a smart speaker at home.
