Tuanzi R02 Type-C Smartphone IR Remote Controller Adapter for Android Smart Phone Mini Infrared Universal Control All in One Air Conditioner/TV/DVD/STB Black

Very bad device, not working

This product is very perfect and works very well and it doesn't have any issues.

I was hesitant to buy this because of so many options on the market. But I'm really glad I got this one! Packaging: Minimalistic but well packaged. - It came with a small owners manual with a QR code to download the ZAZa app. - Comes with the IR remote - Includes nice Silicone sleeve (for storage and cannot be used while device is being used) - Includes small key ring for the silicone sleeve Product: I found out very nice. Made out of aluminium and feels sturdy. The end has a little IR blaster and LED indicator to let you know when it's functioning. APP/compatibility: I found setup quite quick. Downloaded the Zaza app and just plugged it in. Pairing was quite easy with my old Sharp 42inch tv from the mid 2000s. I was apprehensive as the old galaxy s4 (built in IR blaster) that I was using as a remote didn't work very well with the tv. I had to download several apps and try different modes to get it to work with the tv. This APP worked great with the TV. 100% compatibility. Better than other apps I was using on the S4 (which died last week). I then moved downstairs to try on my parents brand new Samsung Q65 TV. Setup worked alright. That T.V. Has audio commands via the remote that obviously weren't compatible with the Zaza app. But that's okay. I wasn't expecting it to. Also tried our media rooms Toshiba TV with Amazon fire built in. That one worked great! Only thing is the back button didn't work. So I'd give it 98% compatibility. Along with the Toshiba TV we have a Bose lifestyle system from the early/mid2000s that also paired up fairly well. App concerns: because of some reviews I read calling out the app for questionable things. I removed permissions from the app. As well as made it so the app cannot run in the background. I have used this on both my galaxy S8 and Google pixel 2. Both work great with it. Highly recommend!!!

I bought this IR blaster so that I could use my iPhone as a universal remote when staying in hotels that have the TVs locked out and those that use "Clean remotes" (those white/teal colored remotes that are easier to keep clean but have few buttons) that lack an input button (for if you want to use the TV to connect to a game console, laptop, phone/tablet, etc.). If you unplug the ethernet cable on the back of those (most common these days) you can unlock features but the Clean remote will not longer work, so you need a universal remote. Rather than buy and carry around one or more remotes (so that you don't have to program a Samsung vs a LG TV for instance), you can get this IR blaster and use your phone instead. This one has a lightning port for iPhone use and the USB-C one is for other Android device use. You do need to download an app that seems pretty safe/legit from the app store, but once you do you can easily search for the device/TV and basically if you use the configuration for any TV of the same brand it should work (e.g. if you select a Samsung TV of any model it will probably work with whatever Samsung TV you try it on), which is good because it's not always possible to find the exact TV model. Only quibble is that I couldn't get the rotate/reverse function to work, which would flip the app orientation so that you can point the IR blaster end at the TV and the remote buttons on the screen will be facing the right way. I couldn't get it to work but even so it's a great, cheap little device that will be very handy when I travel (or at home).

Works well, like intended
