The Smart Solution to the Lost Remote Control ­– It’ll Blow You Away

Picture this: it’s Sunday night and the kids are in bed. You finish some last minute work on your smartphone, when your partner tells you The Walking Dead is about to start.

You press, “send,” and turn your attention to your TV.

“Where’s the remote honey?” you ask as you approach the couch.

“I don’t know. Last time I saw the remote, it was on the coffee table.”

There are only 3 minutes until The Walking Dead is on, so both of you fumble around trying to find this cursed remote control.

Eighteen minutes later, after a disappointing start to your relaxing evening, you find your lost remote control hidden in the closet of all places.

SureMote Controls AC Security and Home Automation

Tekoia’s Android app allows users to control the connected home using IR and WiFi connectivity.

SureMote Controls AC, Security and Other Home Automation FeaturesThere are a lot of universal remote controls out there—including apps that can turn your favorite portable into a remote. However, most of these are designed for controlling one thing or even just your AV setup. Tekoia is hoping to make the SureMote app stand out by adding in a few home automation capabilities.

The SureMote app was recently updated to add in control of IR-operated air conditioners and WiFi-enabled security cameras. This means that you can use the app to cool down a room’s temperature before you arrive home from work or check in on a camera’s live video feed and pan-tilt-zoom to get a better peek at your house.

SureMote – a FREE Universal Remote Control App

SNNLive spoke with Viktor Ariel, CEO of Tekoia Ltd., a private company, at The Israel Conference 2014 in Los Angeles, CA.

With SureMote, you have one free, simple, intuitive universal remote that uses IR Blaster and runs on Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note and HTC One smartphones. SureMote has an extensive database of IR appliances and smart TVs such as Samsung TV, LG TV, Sony TV, Apple TV, Western Digital Streamer and many others. It runs on Android devices now, but Tekoia is working on adding the ability to control Wi-Fi devices and also a version for iPhone is in development.

SureMote introduces the concept of the appliance “system”, which is a group of appliances that can be controlled simultaneously. This allows turning the system ON/OFF with the single power button leading to the “one-button” remote solution.

SureMote is always FREE and supported by graphical advertising which appears in a dedicated screen area and does not interfere with universal remote operation. However, if you really dislike ads, there is a subscription option to an ad-free version. We have a strict privacy policy (see the web site link below) and no sign-in is required to operate the software.

SureMote – Free Universal Remote app features:

1. Simple universal remote user interfaceUniversal Remote Download

SureMote app for Android aims to make your Smartphone the only Universal Remote

Most of the top tier smartphones come with an IR blaster, which means you can control your home theater system. That sounds great, but the apps that OEMs offer are still quite limited. For example, you can’t create activities (or macros) that allow you to turn on several devices with the proper inputs/outputs with one button. You also can’t control any devices that have WiFi control such as certain smart TVs and media players. Well SureMote might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Universal controller for LG TV

The SureMote app by Tekoia will finally allow you to remove all those extra remotes from your coffee table. It will not only utilize the IR blaster on your phone, but it will also communicate with devices via WiFi. This not only brings your complete entertainment center to the palm of your hands, but also other appliances and home automation setups.

Setup is a breeze as well. Like most universal remotes, SureMote will have a database of just about every IR compatible device ever made. Just punch in your brands and model numbers and you will be good to go. WiFi device compatibility is still a work in progress. For starters, SureMote works with LG smart TVs, but they will be adding more models very soon.
