There are a few good Android apps that will convert your phone into a universal remote, but that's not the only thing you'll need. For your Android to properly talk to your devices, you'll need to install an IR blaster. This will allow your smartphone to send signals to your devices properly.

Apparently, one of the best universal remotes around, the AnyMote app, can control over 800,000 different devices, even that old DVD player you might have as part of your home theater. The one drawback is that this app will not work on Sony smartphones. This app is not free, and last I checked it was $6.99. You can also connect AnyMote to your WiFi and use it as a:

• Sonos remote
• Samsung Smart TV remote
• Sharp Smart TV remote
• Philips Smart TV remote
• LIFX and Philips Hue remote
• Kodi / XBMC remote

Activating Smart Controls on TV without internet. When I Try, it says I must down load conditions, and except?

Hi Frank. I just Installed a Samsung Smart TV, and a older Pioneer Stereo system, CD, and DVD in our camper in the mountains. I don't have internet there, and may be a while before getting. I'm having Problems using my Samsung Note 5 as a Hotspot to activate account on the TV. It connects to the internet, and seems to be plenty fast, but evidently to slow to complete download. TV won't let me use a lot of the smart features till the download, and agreement is fulfilled through Samsung. I would actually like to use the TV remote to Control these components. Any Advice ? Thanks in advance for your time, Dave. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. According to the instructions I read, A Note 3 will work with the IR Blaster, but the Note 5 wasn't listed as being compatible for the IR Blaster App. And I really don't won't my phone to be the only remote that operates the TV, and other components anyway, if I can get around it.
