Turn your phone into an infrared remote for RGB LED strips. No Wi-Fi, no hub.
Your phone already has the hardware to run your lights. RGB Remote Control uses the built-in infrared emitter to talk to RGB LED strips directly — the same way the little plastic remote in your drawer does, only you never lose your phone under the sofa.
No account. No pairing. No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no hub, no cloud. Point and press.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Power your strip on and off
• Step brightness up and down
• Jump straight to red, green, blue or white
• Pick from 16 preset colours across the full spectrum
• Run the built-in FLASH, STROBE, FADE and SMOOTH effects
• Switch between the 24-key and the 44-key remote layouts
TWO REMOTES, ONE APP
Most RGB strips ship with either a 24-key or a 44-key infrared remote. Both layouts are built in, drawn button-for-button like the real thing, so you already know where everything is. Tap the swap icon in the top bar to move between them.
BUILT ON THE NEC PROTOCOL
The app transmits standard NEC infrared codes — the protocol used by the overwhelming majority of RGB LED strip controllers, light bars, TV backlight kits and ambient strips sold today. If your strip came with a small white or black IR remote, there is a very good chance it will just work.
MADE TO FEEL RIGHT
• A dark ambient interface that stays out of the way in a dim room
• Optional click sound on every command
• Optional haptic feedback on every command
• Everything reachable with one thumb
NO ADS, IF YOU WANT
The app is free and supported by a small banner. A one-time in-app purchase removes it permanently.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL — PLEASE READ
This app needs a physical infrared (IR) blaster in your phone. It cannot work without one, and no app can add one in software.
Many Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, Samsung, Huawei, Honor, TCL, Vivo and Realme models include an IR blaster — it is the small dark window on the top edge of the phone. If your device does not have one, the app will tell you as soon as you open it.
Also worth knowing:
• Infrared is line-of-sight. Aim the top edge of the phone at your strip's controller box.
• Range is typically a few metres, just like the original remote.
• Some strips use a different protocol than NEC and will not respond.
PRIVACY
The app does not collect your personal data, does not need an account, and works entirely offline.
