Just bought the Re for my iPhone and so far I’ve got the home theatre, my heating system and the TV in the guest suite all setup and running smoothly. NewKinetix seem to have come up trumps with their solution.

Infra red for iphones, what a novel idea. it’s a wonder no one thought of it before. Oh, wait, they did. Nearly every upper range phone and PDA came with IR as standard. Stupid part was you didn’t have to “connect” the two devices as you do in some bluetooth situations. Just point and send and the other device could accept or not.
And guess what some of these even had programs you could download and turn them into a remote for anything with IR. My T5 has controlled everything from the TV, [kids kept hiding the normal remote] to airconditioner remotes. then alas some 17yr old told me IR was gone and bluetooth was the way of the future. I’ve had more issues with bluetooth connections/devices than I ever had with IR. But thats probably just me!
