I had a problem. There’s a ductless air conditioning and heating unit in the back of my house that I would always forget to turn off, so I wanted something that I could use to control it from my smartphone and even automate so it would automatically send an “off” commend every evening. I also didn’t want to spend $100+ on a Logitech Harmony device to get it done. I did a bunch of research and ended up with the VigoRise Universal IR Remote. It works shockingly well for a $17 box from a no-name brand, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to control devices like TVs, cable boxes, DVD players, Blu-ray players, air conditioners, or anything else that uses a normal infrared remote. It’s awesome!
