Control your TV and all other appliances with SureMote – an ideal FREE Universal Remote Control App

Tekoia Ltd. develops Smart Universal Remote (SURe) solutions for digital media, smart appliances, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Today’s remote control devices are based on outdated technology, are difficult to use, and are frequently lost or broken. They do not allow advanced communications between appliance vendors, users and smart appliances.

First Easy-to-Use Smart Universal Remote App with Infrared to Control Smart and Legacy Appliances

First mobile app that lets users easily control complex multimedia systems including multiple appliances with just one click

SureMote is a FREE Universal Remote Control App for all of your digital media appliances and systems. SureMote uses the built-in Infrared (IR) Blaster in Samsung Galaxy and HTC One Smartphone’s. SureMote cures the headache of dealing with multiple old-fashioned hardware remotes.

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 allows easy creation of appliance systems that enable you to control a group of appliances with a single click.

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.

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.

SureMote Universal Remote App

One of the most exciting announcements at WWDC 2014 was the iHome Kit feature in iOS 8, which will allow iPhone owners to use their device as a remote to control the smart home. But if you don’t want to wait for Apple to release the iOS 8 update this fall there is an Android app available now in the Google PlayStore that does many of the things iHome Kit will.

As a tech writer, I get to see products that are in development that companies plan to release in the months or years to come.

A couple years ago, I saw a company that was trying to develop an app that would turn your smartphone into a remote control for your television. I was underwhelmed.

Tekoia has done it. Android Smartphone into a universal remote controller

SureMote is their universal remote app that works with both Wi-Fi and infrared that debuts at Computex in Taiwan.

The great things about this app:

Ever wanted to be able to control absolutely everything from your phone? SureMote could be the app for you.

Developed by Israeli company Tekoia, SureMote will let you control smart TVs, media streamers, robot vaccum cleaners, smart heaters, air-conditioning units and other devices that are becoming part of the increasingly expanding Internet of Things.

The app can communicate with devices via WiFi and infrared (IR), meaning it should be able to control non-smart legacy devices too.

Tekoia’s SureMote is a universal remote app that can control smart media streaming and legacy devices that use Wi-Fi or infrared (IR) capability from a single interface.

The company, which hails from Ramat Gan in Israel, plans to demo the app at Computex in Taipai, Taiwan next month, controlling an LG Smart TV for second screen capability, along with an Apple TV, and the iRobot Roomba vacuum. It features a user interface with standard remote keyboard, mouse, gyro, and voice.
