Our take on the Ocustar IR Universal Remote Control Adapter for Phone, [MFi Certified] Smart IR Blaster for TV-AC-DVD-STB Compatible with Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, LG and More, Work with iOS-Android (USB-C)

The Ocustar IR Universal Remote Adapter is a small USB-C dongle that turns a phone into an infrared remote for TVs, air conditioners, set-top boxes, DVD players and other IR devices. It is MFi certified, so it works with iPhones and iPads as well as Android phones, and it pairs with the Ocrustar Remote app. It suits people who have lost a remote or want one app for several rooms. Against built-in IR blasters and Wi-Fi hubs, it is limited to line of sight and needs the phone plugged in, but it is simpler and more portable than a hub.
