Features & Capabilities

irplus WAVE - Infrared Remote is a unique Chrome extension designed for users who want to send custom infrared commands using a self-made IR blaster connected through the audio port or A2DP-Bluetooth on their phone or tablet. Unlike traditional IR apps that require integrated IR blasters, this tool empowers you to build your own hardware and control your devices seamlessly.

Please note that this app is intended only for users who have constructed their own IR blaster following the provided guide at irplus remote guide. If your device already includes an integrated IR blaster, the original irplus app is recommended. Incorrect wiring can damage your device, so use caution and only proceed if you have technical know-how. For any questions or assistance, the developer is available via email.

Harness the power of custom infrared remote control with irplus WAVE and enjoy flexibility like never before!

User Reviews

Overall sentiment is positive: many users say it works well, is easy to use, and has a nicer interface than rivals, especially for DIY setups using an IR LED in the mic jack. However, performance is device-dependent and ranges widely; some phones show only short or no range. Code support is limited and not all remotes (notably Philips) work, with requests for learning/uploading codes and a brute-force mode for unknown devices. Despite gaps, it remains a favored choice among Android IR remote apps.

Pros

Generally works well on many devices and at a reasonable distance
Easy to use with a nicer interface than rival apps
Uses an IR LED in the microphone jack, enabling a simple DIY hardware setup
Popular for DIY remotes and compatibility with homemade IR transmitters

Cons

Device compatibility varies by phone; some devices show very short or no IR range
Code coverage is limited and not all remotes (e.g., Philips) work; few community codes
Lacks learning/uploading of custom remote codes and a brute-force option for unknown devices
In some cases IR is transmitted but no control is possible yet
