Mobile as Remote Control

[desertwind]

I've heard that there's some application from which mobile can be used as a remote control for IR devices like television etc., any idea on that ?

NB: I've a Nokia 7250i in my hand.

[khandu]

yes the software is called IR remote.. u need a symbian phone and IR in ur phone..

If you have 7250i and it does contains infrared the youmight be able to control you TV.But infrared is not sufficient...You also need a symbian 60 or higher phone cause you will need to install IRremote. You can download it from ---

He means that you can get by illegal ways...

Yeah,.. Psiloc makes good IR software..
Its pretty hard to crack(some wierd unified liscencing thing that installs some 4 components in ur phone).
But the problem with iR remote is that u need to be pretty close to the Unit to make it work.. (doesnt have the range of a normal remote for obvious reasons.., Coz IR port on phone is designed for close range data transfer, not brightest LED units).

on other side of the world you can go li'l bit retro using relays with MCU!!!

all types of remote controls for any type of appliances are real benficial for us couch potatoes...it gives us another reason not to get off our butt..there is a remote control for tv remote control for ac...and other stuff....and i've heard that some of our politicians are controlled via remote control
