Picked up a pretty cool toy for Christmas. IR remote that uses your phone to control all your electronics. No more remotes for me. You can program a ton of different options. The app knows all your device functions based on brand and model #. You can also program gestures by swiping your screen up down left right and tap. Pretty damn cool [emoji106]

TEll me more... We have a LOGITECH RF/IR remote for my inlaws surround/SetTopBox/TV/DVD player which works pretty slick...
Im not familiar with what your talking about... A separate device that works in conjunction with your phone OR is there built in IR functionality on IPHONES??? Im a smart phone TARD...
It uses your wifi but then IR to the devices. No remote at all. iPhone or droid smartphone I believe
My son was saying that the IPHONES do have some IR something or other built into the phone (under the mesh speaker / mic cover) going back to his 4S...Quote:

SO I get it back on track, they jack it up, my 12 yr old daugher fixes it for them, they jack it up, my son fixes it for them, they jack it up, my wife who is technically challenged fixes it for them...
Other than not being geriatric people proof, it works slick but I do like the sound of your Harmony set up :) I will check it out...
This uses wifi so it doesn't need RF
What's the model number?

At $400 the logitech is pretty sweet, as long as you can keep it out of the hands of geriatrics... :omg:Quote:
