It is becoming more and more common to see smart devices differentiated from smartphones in our homes. We have smart TVs, smart displays, and most of all smart speakers.
Both Google and Amazon have achieved great penetration in our homes with the Amazon Echo and Google Nest, formerly Google Home.
But there is still a long way to go for all of the devices we use with infrared remote controls, such as somewhat older televisions and air conditioners.
How to control a TV or air conditioner with Google HomeWe teach you to control any TV, air conditioner or device that uses infrared with the Google speaker, the Google Home.
A few months ago we told you how you could control these devices from your favorite voice assistant, from your mobile or the speakers. Now we bring you an offer for a similar device, but three times cheaper.
How the infrared remote control works
What this device does is connect to our Wifi network to be able to receive orders from our mobile.
In the device itself, these commands are converted into infrared rays emissions like those that would come out of a remote control. In this way, an action can be programmed to be carried out from the mobile and that, using the device as a bridge, is executed on another non-intelligent device.
For this we will use the Smart Life app, one of the most popular home automation in the Android eosystem.
In addition, as it is compatible with voice assistants, we can configure each device to be controlled by voice. We can put the air conditioning, the TV, change the channel …
Of course, we will have to program each of these actions, but once the voice control is done it will be comfortable and quite fast.
The price of this device is about 26 euros in a normal way but the offer that we bring you leaves it in 8.04 euros, a 66% discount.
