swt61 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Is anyone aware of an app that will turn my Galaxy Note 10.1 into a stereo remote control ala Logitech Harmony? It sure would be handy.
CarlSeibert Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Does that tablet have an IR transmitter? The subject is suddenly interesting because I just read the the new Galaxy S4 phone does and indeed has a remote control app. Which means that an app to turn off annoying televisions in public places can't be far behind. Imagine being able to zap TVs in restaurants as easily as blasting aliens in the original Space Invaders. The mind boggles. There are apps to control most music servers from phones and tablets via WiFi but that's probably not what you're looking for. 1
swt61 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Posted March 18, 2013 I think it does Carl. It's on top next to the Micro SD slot. That's what made me think it possible. Would be very handy for me.
Nebby Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah, samsung lists " Integrated IR blaster" on their spec sheet.
morphsci Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 I love Roomie Remote on the iPad. Unfortunately it is IOS only. It is so powerful and flexible I am thinking of buying a few older generation iPod touches to replace every other remote in the house.
Dash Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) My Samsung tablet had it preinstalled. It was also available on the website for download. http://www.samsung.com/us/article/turn-your-tv-on-to-a-galaxy-of-remote-possibilities Edited March 19, 2013 by Dash
swt61 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Posted March 19, 2013 Mine has that pre-installed as well, but it's only for TV. I want to control all my audio gear.
Dusty Chalk Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 I want to go into a sports bar and turn all their channels to E! at once. Or perhaps Lifetime.

Dusty Chalk Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 Dangblastit, the Nexus 10 doesn't have IR. I'll have to see if there's a wireless option.
morphsci Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 You don't need IR with the Beacon. Phoneblet --BT--> Beacon --IR--> HT Components
