RCoid Pro - Remote Control

About this app

Remote Control for Android - create your own universal remote control and take it always with you.

Control contemporary all your equipment like tv, radio, receiver, light control, rgb led strip, reflex camera, air handling unit and many more without long loading time. The app provides smartphones with an infrared diode like Samsung Galaxy S5, S4, S4 Mini, Note 3, Tab 3, Medion Lifetab or HTC ONE as well as the JBMedia Light-Manager Air / Pro+ with Wifi-Bridge.

In order to be able to control the JBMedia Light Manager, it must already be set up completely and be accessible in the WLAN. Then you only have to enter the IP in RCoid and you can immediately assign all scenes or actuators to the remote control.
In addition, it is also possible to forward all IR signals from the RCoid database via WLAN to the JB MediaLight Manager and to send them from this device. Since the infrared transmission power of the JB-Media is stronger than that of the mobile phone, this increases the reliability controlling the devices. And narrative are now also mobile phones without infrared compatible to RCoid.

I work on a databank for RCoid-remote controls. Try, if an existing file work with your equipment. Often remote-controls from the same or sometimes also from a different producer are compatible with other equipment.

Alternativ you can create your own IR remote control. You can decide the shape, the size, the rotation and the color of the buttons. The necessary IR-codes can you find in the internet.
i.e. http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes, http://irdb.globalcache.com/Home/Database, http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/codes/ or http://irdb.tk/find/
You are supported with IR-code-generators for RC5, RC6 and LIRC-Files(without mention of a protocoll).

If you didn‘t find a compatible file for your device or if you need help creating your widgets, please contact us at [e-mail]. We would be pleased to help you.

Ratings and reviews

I picked up an older Harmon Kardon receiver for $20 at Goodwill. Unfortunately it did not come with a remote and much of its features can only be accessed through the remote. Solution: I loaded this app onto my Samsung Tab 3 ( it has an IR Blaster) , found the receiver in the app's library and it works perfectly! Really pleased and grateful for this app.

While the UI looks quite clunky and dated by now, it is probably the best remote app I have ever used. There are a lot of profiles out of the box and creating new ones is quite easy. These two advantages place it over the other IR apps for me. There have been no other apps that supported my soundbar as well as this one for example. If your phone does have an IR-Blaster this is in my opinion the best app to use.

This app is amazing. For any Audio/Video tech that has an IR blaster on their phone, it's one of the most useful apps out there. Only one I've found that lets you edit the codes and fully customize the layouts. Can even build macros into buttons. Great app!
