Finally, a way to turn your smartphone into a universal remote
What do your television, air conditioner, cable box, and ceiling fan all have in common? They can soon all be controlled through the smartphone in your pocket.
The KlikR Universal Remote Control provides a welcome respite from remote mayhem by combining every remote you need into the one device you use every day: Your smartphone.
To downsize your remote collection into one master KlikR setup, attach the coin-sized dongle to any appliance you want to control with the KlikR app. From there, a customizable control panel shows you what’s connected and allows you to sort through at will, and control them with your voice.
KlikR will also pause or mute any background noise when you receive a phone call, and archive your settings in the event you lose your phone.
Reinvent your home electronics and appliance setup with KlikR for just $19.99.
