Our take on the Mini Smartphone IR Remote Controller Adapter Type-C Universal Smart IR Controller

This is a tiny aluminum-alloy IR blaster that plugs into a phone's USB-C port and turns it into a universal remote through the Zaza Remote app. It weighs under 4 grams and works at roughly 8 to 10 meters, so it covers a living room or bedroom. It suits people who want one remote for a TV, set-top box, air conditioner or fan without hunting for the original. Compared with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth hubs, it is cheaper and simpler but needs line of sight and the phone attached, and it only works as well as the app's device database.

Questions and answers

Does it work with iPhones?
Only the Lightning version fits iPhones; the Type-C version is for USB-C Android phones and newer iPhones. Check your port before ordering.
Do I need to download an app?
Yes. It runs through the Zaza Remote app, which holds the device codes and sends the commands. Without the app the adapter does nothing.
Can it control an air conditioner?
Yes, for brands in the app's database. AC codes are common, but check your brand and model in the app first.
Does it need batteries or charging?
No. It draws power from the phone's port, so there is nothing to charge.
What is the working range?
About 8 to 10 meters in open line of sight. Walls and corners cut that down, so aim it at the appliance.
Can it learn commands from an old remote?
Some app versions support learning, but it is not guaranteed for every device. Confirm support for your model before relying on it.
