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).

Ratings and reviews

One of the finest remote control app I have ever used... Although it doesn't come with built in remote library, downloading desired remote is pretty easy. The App directly take you to download page. (may not find the exact model of equipment you have. but, download the nearest equivalent. it works..!) Even I can edit the remote to my personal preference. In the downloaded file for my Philips home theatre, I didn't find some functions. I have imported data from some other file... Fantastic.....

almost excellent free version you can make very stylish remotes, have several side by side, edit /reformat existing ones and more. I got tired of using the PACE remotes for New Zealand 'my Sky' so made my own with RCoid. I uploaded it so here's hoping it makes it to the database fellow Kiwi or PACE users. .. suggestions for development. . swipe to change pages or a button you can add instead of just the bottom dots. also the ability to add/create new elements... and add fonts like windings etc

Extremely effective application for supported phones. People do not understand that your phone should have an IR transmitter in order to be used as remote. The app is EXTREME in compatible ones!
