## Description

Product Description          How many remote controls do you have in your family room? And how many are lost under couch cushions or otherwise misplaced? The UnityRemote from GEAR4 aims to remedy your remote woes by combining them all into one device--your iPhone or iPod touch. UnityRemote lets you use your iPhone's screen gestures to control multiple devices and have 360-degree room coverage, with no "dongle" required. Control everything--from TVs to hi-fis, Blu-ray players to digital TV boxes, or anything that has an infrared receiver--using a single device. UnityRemote replaces all your conventional remotes and gives you full wireless control of your devices using your iPhone or iPod touch. Click here for a larger image.How Does It Work?UnityRemote consists of two parts. The first is an app, which is downloaded for free from the Apple App Store. The second part is a small and sleek device that receives Bluetooth and transmits and receives infrared signals. iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads cannot currently send infrared signals, so this clever device receives a Bluetooth signal from the Apple device, and then sends an infrared command via five infrared transmitters to the device to be controlled.The transmitter/receiver is small and discreet, and is powered by AA batteries, with no need for a power outlet. You can place it anywhere in the room, wherever it's most convenient.How Is It Set Up?UnityRemote is a breeze to set up. After launching the app, users simply select the device to be controlled from a default list of manufacturers. If the device to control is not listed, UnityRemote can easily "learn" how to control it.Users can also set up "actions" for UnityRemote, to control multiple devices simultaneously. From one touch, users can turn on their TV, DVD player, digital TV box, and their home cinema sound system. Users can adjust the remote layout so that one remote layout has the buttons for multiple devices on the same screen, such as "Play" from the DVD player and volumes for the surround system.UnityRemote App FeaturesUnity's Main ScreenUnity is the main screen of UnityRemote. It shows the various combined remote layouts and "actions" you have set up. Press an "action" (e.g., "Watch Movie") to access the unified remote for a Blu-ray player, surround sound system, and TV, and launch a series of automated steps such as switching on all devices, setting the TV to a specific channel, or inputting and sending a "Play" command.Unity Actions (Detail Screen)This behind-the-scenes screen shows what you have programmed the "Watch Movie" action to do. In this example, by simply pressing "Watch Movie" on the main screen, three devices will automatically power on. You can add more steps like "Go to Channel 102" or "Press Play." The combinations are virtually infinite.The Unified Remote ScreenOnce you have selected an Action, the unified remote screen brings control over several devices into one screen. In this example, you can control the volume of your TV while you press "Play" on your Blu-ray player. All icons can be selected and rearranged to your preference.Set Up GesturesThe best thing about a touchscreen is not having to look at it to control your devices. Using gestures, you can swipe or tap your finger to control multiple devices. You could set sliding your finger to the left and right to control volume on the surround system and swiping up and down to control Play/Pause on the Blu-ray player. Double-tapping in the center could toggle Mute. It's up to you, and it's easy to set up.Unity DatabaseUnityRemote includes a wide database of devices. Simply pick the manufacturer in the list and the type of device (e.g., TV, DVD player, DMA player, etc.), and let the software help you set it up. If the manufacturer of your device isn't in the list, UnityRemote can "learn" new devices by pointing your original remote at it.What's in the BoxUnityRemote, three AA batteries, and user's manual (app is downloaded for free from the iTunes App Store).             From the Manufacturer          Control all of your home entertainment devices from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with UnityRemote. Designed to be the easiest universal remote you've ever used, UnityRemote controls virtually any electronic device with your Apple device's touchscreen. You can adjust volume, switch channels, or any other remote function with the swipe of a finger. Additionally, customizable Actions let you control multiple devices simultaneously. Easy to set up and completely wireless, UnityRemote makes all other remotes obsolete.

UnityRemote's advanced user interface uses your Apple device's easy-to-use touchscreen for cutting-edge functionality. Change channels, adjust volume, and pause TV with standard tap and swipe gestures. Gestures are programmable as well--simply assign specific devices and commands to your movements. Customizable Actions Allow Simultaneous Control of Multiple DevicesUnityRemote's app-based functionality allows for full customization of your remote. Program what you want buttons to do, assign gestures to specific actions, and customize what you want to see on-screen. Creating Actions allows you to control multiple items simultaneously. For example, turn on your TV, DVD player, and stereo, select the right channel, and start playing a DVD all with the push of a single button. Several different devices can be controlled by one onscreen interface, allowing you to control video playback and amplifier volume without having to switch control screens. Auto-connect time even enables you to set UnityRemote to wake up and shut down at certain times of the day.Up to eight different Apple devices can be paired with a UnityRemote, so you don't have to rely on one person's device. Only one device can be in control at a time however, so there won't be any channel-changing wars. Wireless and DiscreetUnityRemote runs on three AA batteries, so there are never any power cords to worry about. There is also no dongle required, so there's no need to plug anything into your Apple device before you can use it.Compatible with iPhone, iPod, and iPadUnityRemote is compatible with iPhone (3GS and 4G), iPod touch (3G and 4G), and iPad (1G and 2G).What's in the BoxUnityRemote, three AA batteries, and user manual.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gear 4 Does a 10 by 10 on the Unity Remote. Six out of 5 stars!
*by D***N on March 2, 2011*

Out of the box and within 30 minutes I had my entire home theatre system up and running on my IPhone. SIX components all fully controlled from my IPhone. In one word ... INCREDIBLE! Gear 4 has released me from Remote Control Hell. Thank you Gear 4, thank you.I have no hesitation what so ever in recommending this product. Easy to download the app from the ITunes store, easy to configure and set up the various devices, easy to tailor the remotes to your own tastes AND once you have the configuration setup on one IPhone you can transfer the configuration to as many other IPhones, IPads or IPods as you want. Again, Incredible.I have the Unity remote app installed on each family member's IPhone and on our IPad. All work flawlessly!The manual was easy to read and setting up the Unity Remote app to operate the devices was very intuitive and easy to follow.This thing is a bargain at twice the price.Six Stars out of five, right across the board.I have read other reviews that talked about the remote turning off when the IPhone/ IPad / IPod go out of range and then having to turn it back on when you come back in the room later. This I find to not be an inconvenience at all. Well worth the power savings on the battery life. One flick of the button and seconds later you have full control of your home theatre system. LOVE IT!

### ⭐ Great idea, software too buggy to be useful
*by E***R on February 5, 2011*

While the concept is great, the system suffers from too many bugs to be useful:- Bugs you can live with:- Does not reconnect smoothly to iPhone as advertised, you have to go into the iPhone Bluetooth settings every time you start to use it.- Many mislabeled keys in default key maps. You can fix these one at a time, but it is tedious.- "Standard" action templates (e.g. "watch TV") don't work (at least for any of my equipment). You have to create custom templates instead.- "Use device" setting when creating a creating a custom template is buggy: this option is supposed to make it easy to specify which devices should be powered on for an action. However, the option sends a "toggle power on/off" rather than a "power on" command. The workaround is to not use this setting, instead manually enter "power on" actions for each device.- Bug that is a deal-breaker:- The iPhone UnityRemote app constantly crashes. It crashes when programming, it crashes simply when being used. (Yes, I reinstalled the latest version of the software as of 2/5/2011.) After successfully defining certain actions, executing them would consistently crash in the same way -- a screen saying "cleaning up" appears with a spinning ball and hangs forever.After putting many hours into attempting to use my UnityRemote, I've put it away, until some future day (if it ever arrives) when the software works!

### ⭐⭐ Not very useful
*by A***N on August 22, 2011*

I tried to use this for a few weeks with an iPod Touch and an iPad and found that there two main problems. One is that the battery life on the iPod Touch/iPad plummets when using the device, such that I couldn't make it though a full day of normal use.The second problem was the deal-breaker for me. The programmers have chosen to display only nine buttons on any given screen, so I was having to constantly spend time switching through multiple screens to perform a task that required only a single button push on my Logitech One remote.Even worse, the app has an iPad-specific app that still only has nine huge buttons on the 10" screen, when there is room for several dozen.I took the battery out of the device and it now sits on a shelf being a decorative paperweight. If the manufacturer revises the software to allow more buttons on a screen, I may revisit the usefulness of the product. Nice idea, unsatisfactory execution.Update: Database of devices is very limited. I have an HDMI switcher that isn't in their database, and all attempts to have the device learn the codes for switching inputs have met with failure. My Logitech remote learned the codes in seconds. So the device is still a paperweight.I'm not sure this device is being supported any more.
