- Does it work with an iPhone?
- Yes, but you need the Lightning version for iPhones; the USB-C version fits USB-C phones and tablets. The listing also mentions Micro-USB for older Android phones.
- Do I need to install an app?
- Yes. The adapter has no controls of its own, so all setup and button presses go through a companion app on your phone.
- Will it control my air conditioner?
- Usually yes if the AC uses a standard infrared remote at 38kHz or 56kHz. Check that your brand and model appear in the app's device list before buying.
- Does it need batteries or charging?
- No. It draws power from the phone's port, so there is nothing to charge.
- Can I use my phone while it is plugged in?
- You can, but the adapter occupies the charging port, so you cannot charge at the same time. It also adds a small protrusion at the bottom of the phone.
- What is the difference between the USB-C, Lightning and Micro-USB versions?
- Only the plug differs; the infrared hardware and app are the same. Pick the one that matches your phone's port.
