Instructions for use: 1. Visit this link: http://app.elksmart.com/ 2. You will find images and additional guidance in the package. For Android device instructions: Step 1): Look for and install the “Remote” Elk App. Step 2): Enable the “OTG” feature in the settings. Step 3): Launch the app and plug this remote into your phone. Step 4): Connect and pair your devices. Step 5): You’re all set: begin managing your home devices.
For Android devices: 1. Verify whether the phone supports OTG functionality, as some models require manual activation. 2. Ensure that the phone case is not obstructing the connection. 3. The code base must be compatible; if it doesn’t match, normal operation is not possible. 4. If there is no reaction after trying multiple code bases, it indicates that the infrared remote control code for this model is not included in the software. Please reach out to customer support for assistance.

The instructions sent with device have a qcode that says you use it to download the app. The qcode takes you to a page that says to get the app from play store. There is another set of instructions on the same page that says to download zazaremote from play store. There is no zazaremote on play store. Lots of others that come up with a search for it but none with that name. I am not going to download a dozen apps until I find one that works.Tried to send feedback to seller but it keeps erroring out. I won’t buy anything from this company again.
Drew –
Works beautifully. Can even learn new codes from your current remote
jason h. –
I guess this works because it works on a TV to turn it off. It doesn’t work on any of my remotes for LED lights or air conditioner.that is what i bought it for. I tried tons of apps
Micah and Tina –
I hate it that Android phones rarely has infrared remote options. This fix the problem. Just wish the keychain wasn’t so flimsy.
Bryan –
It works with no problems!
Midwest F. –
It works I just really wish my phone had it built in like my old phone. It’s kind of a pain to have to look for this little fob when I went to use it as a remote but that’s not this device’s fault I’m just complaining about my phone. this device does work great and I like the features the app works great. Nice job.
M. Benedetti –
The app is Universal TV Remote-ZaZa Remote. Within 4 guesses it figured out exactly what device I was trying to control.
Paul S. –
unfortunately this was just bad…It was packaged nice, but worked on NOTHING.I downloaded the app, found my TV added the code and tried it…Nope on to the next code, still nothing. OKay, at this point I tried it on over 10 things in my house…It worked on none of them. sounds cool, but did not work as stated.I’ll be adding it to a white elephant gift so others too can be disappointed in this product as well.
Jim –
Brand new phone doesn’t recognize it. Poor user instructions. Bad app advice. I wish I could rate this zero stars. I want a refund.
Benjy Adolphe –
It does the job well. As long as you have a good app. I suggest Zaza remote for Android. I’d prefer the hook thing directly attached to the device rather than having a little case for it
Diego Angel (Colombia) –
Es un dispositivo pequeño y discreto. Lo estoy usando con Una Note 10+ y funciona perfectamente. El software apropiado es Zaxa Remote que esta disponible en el Google Play. Tiene la posibilidad de encontrar el control remoto de tus dispositivos o emparejar las funciones de tus dispositivos. Lo recomiendo!!
Patricia –
The hardware works fine. But there is no good software to use with it on Android phones. That makes it pointless to purchase.
jonathan martinez cruz –
Thanks
SenanMD –
I use it @ work where all remotes for AC was disappeared.
matthew –
Doesn’t work for anything I tried it on , full of a bunch of ads just to get various remotes
Jonathan –
Sirve para todo tipo de dispositivos tv, aire acondicionado decodificador… etc .muy recomendsdo
John Linsday –
Got this for my dad, he got it to work with AC, projector and TV, he is very happy now.
DrWolfnstine13 –
Forces you to use a crappy Chinese as app, that is suspicious as hell. Do not buy!
William Allan Tack –
Product works as indicated and is a convenience to have, HOWEVER;This is the second unit I’ve purchased and lost because the retaining loop that attaches to be secured has failed resulting in loss.For $20 you’d think they’d come up with a better method of securing this against loss.
Sergio –
I tested it right after it arrived and it was pretty simple to getting working after installing the Zaza app and plugging it to my Motorola phone. I was skeptical due to some negative reviews but it was a hassle-free 2-minute period of testing
Jens D. –
Ich habe ca 10 Minuten gebraucht einen älteren Philips TV zu finden. Marke auswählen und dann mehrfach den Ausschalter mit unterschiedlichen Settings testen. Bei Erfolg bestätigen und weitere Tasten testen.Eine unbekannte Lampe war kniffliger, weil es nicht selbsterklärend ist. Am Ende funktioniert es genauso: 49x 1-3 Tasten drücken bis an der Lampe etwas passiert.Das einzige was fehlt ist die Möglichkeit, die Ergebnisse zu exportieren, damit man sie auf einem anderen Smartphone nutzen kann.Es ist mit Smartphone-Display aber deutlich einfacher als mit einer Billig-Universalfernbedienung.
K. Li –
i have 3 TV at home, 2 Samsung and 1 Toshiba.i downloaded the zaza remote app, it really can control all my TVs !i bought this usb-c remote mainly for hotels, most hotels tv remote they removed the INPUT button.with this usbc remote, i can switch the hotel tv to hdmi input to watch my home videos.you can hook this usbc remote to your keychain, so you have a tv remote where ever you go !
Shamus –
Ordered it because it was advertised as usb c but it came in a micro usb instead!! Disappointed… Do not buy!! All lies.
F pickels –
This is not usb c . Description says usb c, pictures show usb c, box says usb c. Nope, it’s a micro usb connector. What a waste of time and money. Deceptive or fraud perhaps. Either way not happy. Do not recommend device or company.
Yaniv –
So I’ve installed ZazaRemote as advised,choose my A/C brand and a random model and it is working perfectly.Super happy with this purchase and product,Can’t be any easier setup than this 🙂
Sean Rexach –
Works great and app has a TON of options and is ad free.
Boris –
Despite some of the reviews mentioned its not USB-C, mine is definitely USB-C, both the first one i’ve managed to lose and the replacement i’ve bought agan. I’d most definitely request a replacement if i’d receive a micro USB or a lightning version. The app UI could be better, but hey, it works. I use it primarily on hotel TVs, to switch inputs and disable overscan in the menus, and i have yet to find one TV i’d be unable to do so with this tiny thing.
Haren M “Bri” –
It took a while to figure out the app, it was not the easiest to use and using a remote to try and copy it, didn’t seem to work well. At least I’ve not been able to get it to work yet. But now that I have some experience, a couple of days, I feel more comfortable with it.
Robert Lerner –
I’ve tried multiple IR Remote Control apps and none of them detect or use this dongle and it only allows “charging” via the android menu.
john mackall –
Works fine for my LG TV. I used ZaZaRemote App.
E. Brown –
So easy to use.
Oh Dats Dolo –
Product worked for the basics but couldn’t work as an actual remote for the tv
Pedro Cruz –
Works great, only downsize is the apps UI. UI is not very user friendly takes a bit of an adjustment to use.
EL CHRIS –
Just hate that I have only one Chinese app that’s compatible with it
cheese balls –
It works and I like it easy to set up its nice it’s small. but that’s intended it good quality and good price
Andrew coombs –
Love it works well on all ir remotes at home would buy this than buying a all for one remote
El Jefe –
QR code in instructions says app is not available, and the app mentioned in the product description isn’t available either.
Ermac –
The device works perfectly, but the app has been nothing but a hassle, and clunky to navigate. So far thought it has been compatble with everything I tried!
Seth –
It’s just a glorified I R blaster… The app sucks it has you constantly. Turn your phone upside down upside right upside down upside right. The special permissions required do not seem to be in line with what the project is. I’m pretty sure they don’t need my payment information to work an IR blaster.,, also should not need permission to photos or personal info….YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED… The commercials make it seem like it’s the best thing since sliced bread.. it’s not do not recommend
Godzilla –
The QR code for the app goes to a page saying it is not available on the App Store in your region.
geterdone handyman service –
I like to try things out, this gadget seems to work well with TVs sound bars and window air conditioners…I don’t have a garage door to try this on but I’m sure it will do that too
a2cntryboy –
I have downloaded a different app for this it’s called OCRUSTAR because it has no adds and does not ask you to purchase anything else so far so good.
RoCoPeek –
EXCELLENT
The perfect toy for my kids. They loved it. It is so soft and unique and keeps them cozy and warm during the night. It was the present they loved the most for last Christmas. –
My son’s favourite. He puts it on his phone and he controls the volume and the programs of our TV. Small and useful.
Some NiceShine Customer –
On installation it REQUIRES permissions for things like your contacts. The only reason for a hardware remote control to REQUIRE this, is because it is collecting all of your contact data for sale to third parties. It requires several permissions that it can have no legitimate reason for. Avoid this like the plague.
JAIRO ELIGIO PENALO SANCHEZ –
Es difÃcil hacer el empalme con las TVs.
kevin –
I wish the app had a auto scan feature so I don’t have to test out every remote option for a device to save time.
NiceShine Customer –
I use it for my TV and I am happy with it
Luis Fernando Vesga Filo –
Me gustó que fueron cumplidos con la entrega y que es facil programar el sistema en la APP para que quede trabajando… muy recomoendado.
tommy –
Works great and is easy to use. If you have an old or odd piece of equipment, you’ll have to search for similar models to get the correct buttons but it works great for me. I have an AVR that came without the remote and this did the trick
Brett Angle –
Was worried after reading some reviews that the app would not be that good. The ZazaRemote app more than met my needs & even allowed me to pull codes from a broken remote for Mt TViX r3300 multimedia juke box via the DIY function.The IR Blaster works great & has good range. For < $15 it's a bargain.
Theodore Pollock –
As soon as I opened the app that is supposed to pair with it, Snort, my home’s intrusion protection and detection system, black listed my phone, kicking me off my wifi.The logs showed that snort detected a reverse shell being opened leading back to China.It was with the App, not the physical device that triggered this, once I have setup a dedicated environment for testing, I’ll post if I find any bad firmware on the device or if it’s just basically a wide reaching IR remote.If I don’t edit this review then it means I personally found nothing, but doesn’t mean there isn’t malicious code on the device, just I didn’t find it.
Murry –
Feels good to use my Pixel phone with ease. Big plus having this and bypassing the need of having to go through extra hoops with network configs to use your phone as a remote
Jordan –
Please be aware, if you have an iPhone 15, this will not work. My phone does not recognize the device via Bluetooth (Which is how the user manual says I connect). The app is a little clunky, mostly due to language barriers, but overall everything seems to work except for the device itself.Just know if you have an iPhone 15, keep searching, you’re wasting your money If you buy this.
Zachary Z Bender –
I tried this out with beta firmware on my devices attempting to control household items that were not mine. Very little attempt was made after there was not immediate success.
brian –
One of the problems with buying Chinese devices is non existent apps. App doesn’t exist anymore and similar apps do not work with the device.
Jonathan cañas –
No funciona correctamente apaga los equipos pero no los prende
Sugar –
I only bought this to control one specific device (a Vizio TV that has no remote), and it didn’t work. It would only control power and volume. I really need to access menu on this TV and it didn’t help me do that (Vizio E50-D1).
Crypto –
App is not available, so this device is useless.
twinkle30 –
Yet another load of rubbish from China. Don’t buy it if you have an iPhone.
Gordie Harris –
Inserted into Galaxy 20Note, zero response. App doesn’t recognize dongle.
LasMama –
Just what I needed for a lost remote and can use my phone. Easy to install app, has a user friendly remote look and does what I need it too.
Paul –
Easy to set up scan QRInstall app set up no problem
Stufus –
Use this when my customers have lost their remotes, very good interface app but can be used with others aswell.
CErdmier –
Did not work with Samsung s24.
NiceShine Customer –
I like that it works on television, air-conditioning units and most electronic devices. I use it on my Roku-Hitachi television and it performs just like the original remote. I also have a Proscan television that the remote stopped working and this does a great job.
Chris Crowle –
I bought this device to control a couple of Daikan air conditioners. The interface on the phone is way better than the Daikan remote.A bonus is I can control all my other devices that use IR and customise the s/w controls. All in all, a very useful device.
Jiovanny Yeran –
este artÃculo es muy bueno haces un buen trabajo me gusta.
DennyMe –
It only worked for certain functions, but not all of them. Its small and handy for power and volume, but does not allow input selection, which I had to use original remote so why bother?
The Beav –
The little rubber cover fits tightly to protect it and attach to key ring. Works as expected. You have to download a specific app to use it, but the app seems complete with devices and controls.
robert connolly –
It works as expected. It has some trouble with random no brand name devices.
Yhony willams –
I’m sooooooo frustrated!!!! Please do not tell me is my phone! Don’t tell me because I don’t know or this is too much, is horrible takes forever to connect one item
Zaid Abu khalaf –
It’s work & Perfect
Ben –
you need a app that does not work. Mid af

As an IT Technician working in a building with a wide variety of TVs and projectors, this tool has become almost essential for my daily work. I use it in conjunction with the ZazaRemote app on my Android device, and it works seamlessly. The tool effortlessly detects devices and supports almost every major TV brand’s code list, making it incredibly versatile for troubleshooting or quick adjustments.The compact design is another standout feature — it fits perfectly on my work keychain, so I always have it with me and can easily take it anywhere. This has saved me time on numerous occasions, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who works with different display systems regularly.
Andres Gil –
Funciona bien
Karl Neuberg –
Works great!
