Universal Remote Controls

The FLPR Universal Remote has Over 80,000 Preprogrammed Codes

— September 21, 2013 — Tech
If you’ve lost the remote between the deep cushions of the sofa again, fear not, the FLPR Universal Remote by New Potato Technologies for many of Apple’s latest products is able to control TVs, cable and satellite boxes, CD and DVD players, blu ray players, receivers, lights and more.

In total, the remote comes pre-programmed with over 80,000 remote control codes that are frequently updated to recognize new IR codes through the App Store. Once the FLPR Universal Remote, which is connected through the iPhone’s dock at the base, is inserted, simple, customizable skins with their own style of buttons control the various functions that a normal remote could.

Once the preset IR codes are installed, each one can be named and personalized so as to correctly configure each function to the corresponding device. The device uses less than 1 mA, so the iPhone’s battery remains largely unaffected.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Integration - The integration of universal remote controls with smart home devices creates opportunities for seamless control and automation of various functions.
2. Customizable User Interfaces - The trend of customizable skins and buttons on universal remote controls allows for personalized user experiences and easy navigation.
3. Continuous Updates - Frequent updates to recognize new IR codes on universal remote controls ensure compatibility with the latest devices and technologies.
Industry Implications

2. Home Automation - The home automation industry can capitalize on the trend of customizable user interfaces to create user-friendly and intuitive control systems for smart homes.
3. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can benefit from continuous updates in universal remote controls to provide consumers with seamless control over various entertainment devices and services.
