- Does it work with iPhone?
- No. It is a USB-C adapter made for Android phones. iPhones use Lightning or USB-C but lack the IR app support this relies on.
- Do I need an app?
- Yes. The adapter has no buttons or screen of its own, so you install a compatible IR remote app and pick your device brand and model from its codes.
- How far can it reach?
- About 10 meters, and the signal needs a clear line of sight to the device. It will not pass through walls.
- Can it control more than one device?
- It can send codes for many device types, but it works with one device at a time. You switch devices in the app rather than pressing a physical input button.
- Does it need charging?
- No. It draws power from the phone's USB-C port, so there is no battery to charge.
- Will it fit a phone case?
- It is very small, but a thick case or a recessed port can block the plug. You may need to remove the case.
