What if I told you that you could control your entire home entertainment system with one remote? If you are like me, then you’re probably thinking it will be complicated to install and use. Mr. Cool has tried a lot of innovations and they are pretty cool but they are also super expensive and I’m not sure I would recommend it for people who are not tech savy. We kept waiting for someone to invent something that was simple to install and use. After testing the Beacon, I think the waiting is finally over!
The Beacon is a small device that turns your iPhone, iPod, iPad or Android into the only remote you will need to control your entire home entertainment system. You can control any combination of more than 200,000 components including your DVD player, Cable, Apple TV, Blu-ray, Stereo Receiver, Xbox. The best part of all is that it is super easy to set-up and does not require wires or networking. It’s so easy to set-up that there is a video on Griffin Technology’s website that demonstrates that even a child could do it.
It’s actually simply brilliant how it all works. Your entertainment system talks to a remote via infrared signals. Your iPhone speaks bluetooth. Beacon is the bridge that connects everything together. Download Dijit’s Universal Remote App and you are ready to go. Never look for another remote again! The price for this amazing technology is only $70. Their Dijit app is Free. For more information, please visit the Griffin Technology website.
