With more and more smart home devices entering the market, homeowners need a way to centralize control. The universal remote, often seen only as a remote for a home theater system, is now being integrated into a smart home system, making it possible to control all home devices with just one control. The universal remote control can send signals to control traditional infrared signal control devices.
Integrating these signals into a smart home system, homeowners can use a single remote to adjust settings for everything from TVs to heating. “Integrating a universal remote control into a smart home system is a necessary step in the evolution of smart home technology,” said a representative of a home automation system company.
“This makes it easier for homeowners to control their devices while reducing the hassle of having multiple remotes.” By managing all devices with one remote, homeowners can also create custom “scenes” to adjust the settings of multiple devices at once.
For example, a “movie night” scene could dim the lights, turn on the TV, and lower the volume on everything except the stereo. Universal remotes have come a long way, but they’re still an essential part of smart home technology.
