- Does it work with iPhone?
- No. It is built for Android phones with USB-C and USB host (OTG) support. iPhones use a different connector and do not run the required apps.
- Do I need an app?
- Yes. The dongle only sends IR; a remote app on the phone supplies the codes and buttons. You will need to install one and pick your device brand.
- Will it control my air conditioner?
- Usually, if your AC brand is in the app's code library. AC units use many proprietary codes, so check your model in the app before relying on it.
- Can I charge the phone while using it?
- No. The adapter occupies the USB-C port, so charging and the remote cannot run at the same time.
- How far can it reach?
- The maker claims 26 to 49 feet within a 30-degree angle. In practice it works across a normal room when pointed toward the device.
- What is in the box?
- Just the IR adapter. No cable, plug or manual is included.
