As people continue to embrace Bluetooth products, the trend for wireless gadgets is set to grow – whether that’s home security systems or even TVs, according to TV accessory supplier One For All.
The company has unveiled its new flagship remote control; the new One For All Smart Control is designed for people who want a universal remote but fight shy of a complicated set up. One For All says it has tackled this with a Bluetooth Smart operated easy-to-use app, for either Android smartphones or iPhone 4S and later models, allowing consumers to set up devices in less than 30 seconds with three simple steps – or by using One For All’s SimpleSet system.
The new Smart Control remote includes a ’Smart activities’ function that controls all of a consumer’s AV equipment, including its macro function where it performs several commands in a sequence (turn on x, change y and play z). It also has a ‘learning’ function incorporated to ensure 100% compatibility with all AV equipment, One For All adds.
The remote controls up to eight devices including a consumer’s TV, satellite, DVD, amplifier, media player, games consoles and so on, and boasts an ultra wide angle IR feature and a new ‘find my remote’ buzzer, operated through the mobile app, to tell you where it is.
The new One For All Smart Control URC 7980 is compatible with more than 7,000 brands and 335,000 models, the company says.
The control is available directly from One For All, as well as Argos online, Amazon and other online retailers.
