Smart IR remote for home automation

The NEO wireless infrared remote brings app and voice control to existing infrared appliances such as air conditioners, televisions and fans. It connects to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network using the 802.11 b/g/n protocol and works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Xiaoai, Xiaodu and TM Genie speakers. The built-in code library supports major brands including Gree, Midea, Haier, Oaks and Hisense, while a learning function lets you teach commands from any other infrared handset. No hub is required; the device joins the home network directly.

Mains-powered with 360° coverage

The unit draws 5 V at 1 A from a USB supply, consuming a maximum of 0.55 W and 110 mA in normal use. It emits infrared signals at 38 to 56 kHz across a 360° horizontal angle with a stated range of 7 metres, so placement behind a TV or on a shelf does not require line-of-sight aiming. Because it is powered continuously from a USB adapter, there are no batteries to replace and no sleep delays when issuing a command.

Learning mode expands device support

The DIY learning feature captures signals from original remotes, letting the unit control any infrared device even if its brand is not in the pre-loaded library. Once learned, those commands are available through the same app and voice interfaces as the built-in codes. The USB power input means the remote can stay hidden near a wall socket or TV USB port, keeping the installation tidy while maintaining permanent readiness for voice or app triggers.

Questions about this item

How is the USB-powered IR blaster installed, and which step do users often miss?

Plug the unit into a 5 V 1 A USB port, connect it to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network via the app, then add each appliance by selecting its brand from the built-in IR library or using the DIY learning function; the step often missed is teaching custom codes for devices not in the default library.

What maintenance or replacement will this Wi-Fi IR remote need over time?

The device has no batteries or moving parts, so routine maintenance is limited to keeping the USB power source and Wi-Fi router operational; if the power adapter fails, replace it with another 5 V 1 A supply.

What is the first limitation you hit when blasting IR commands continuously across a large room?

The infrared signal reaches 7 metres with a 360° horizontal spread at 38–56 kHz, so the first limit is distance — devices farther than 7 m or blocked by walls will not receive commands.
