## Description

**Fan Remote** lets you control your ceiling and table fans directly from your Android phone, eliminating the need for a physical remote. If you've misplaced your original fan remote controller, this app offers a convenient replacement by utilizing your device's built-in IR blaster to send commands.

Please note, the app only works on devices equipped with an IR receiver hardware. Once set up, Fan Remote functions just like your original fan remote, allowing you to easily adjust fan speed and power without any hassle.
