IR Blaster Remote

Universal IR Remote for Android IR Blaster is an Android application for creating, managing, and transmitting infrared (IR) signals through multiple output methods, including a device’s built-in IR emitter, supported USB IR dongles, and audio-to-IR LED adapters.

The app enables users to build fully custom remotes, discover unknown IR codes through guided brute-force tools, and seamlessly manage IR configurations. It also supports importing IR signals from Flipper Zero .ir files, IRPLUS .irplus / XML files, and LIRC .conf / .cfg / .lirc files, making it easy to reuse and adapt existing IR libraries across devices.

It also includes a GitHub Store for browsing compatible IR files directly from GitHub repositories and importing them into the app without manually downloading and moving files first. For supported USB learning dongles, Learning Mode can capture a signal from a physical remote, preview it, and save it into a new or existing remote.

IR Blaster is designed to be flexible, hardware-agnostic, and user-friendly, while remaining powerful enough for advanced users who need precise control over IR protocols and signal timing.

Overview

- Multiple transmit paths (no built‑in IR required): - Internal (ConsumerIrManager) when the device has a hardware IR emitter - USB IR dongle (with discovery, permission, and bulk transfers) - Audio IR (mono 1‑LED or stereo anti‑phase 2‑LED adapters) - Rich protocol support and a raw‑signal mode for precise mark/space patterns - Import/export of remotes, including Flipper Zero .ir, IRPLUS .irplus / XML, LIRC .conf / .cfg / .lirc files, JSON backups, and direct GitHub browsing/import - Learning Mode for supported USB learning dongles, with capture, preview, replay, and save flows

Tip: At least one transmit path must be available (Internal, USB, or Audio). A built‑in IR blaster is not required if you use a USB dongle or audio adapter.

Features

- Custom Remote Commands: Create and manage remotes using protocol encoders or raw IR patterns. - Signal Tester (IR Finder / Infrared Bruteforcer): Systematically try protocol/code variations to discover working signals. - Transmitter Selection & Auto Switch: - Choose Internal, USB, Audio (1 LED), or Audio (2 LEDs) under Settings > IR Transmitter. - Optional Auto Switch uses USB when a supported dongle is attached, otherwise Internal (disabled if Audio is selected). - Import/Export & Maintenance (Settings > Remotes): - Import JSON backups, Flipper Zero .ir, IRPLUS .irplus / XML (beta), and LIRC .conf / .cfg / .lirc (beta) files - Browse compatible files from GitHub repositories in GitHub Store and import them directly into the app - Export remotes to Downloads - Restore the built‑in demo remote - Delete all remotes - Learning Mode (Settings > Learning Mode): - Use a supported USB learning dongle to capture a button from a physical remote - Preview the learned signal, replay it, and save it into a new or existing remote - GitHub Store for browsing GitHub repositories and importing compatible IR files directly.
