in this instructable I will teach you how to turn your smartphone into a universal remote to control your TV sets, air conditioner, Xbox, or mostly any device that has remote control abilities. this is very useful if your sometimes lazy like myself and don't want to get up to grab your remote or even feel like changing the game in a crowded sports bar without getting beat up.

lots of newer cellphones come with a program pre installed on the device already with the name smart remote, simply search through your cell phone application to see if it came pre installed, so click on is not going to the Google Play Store that is on all smartphones download Smart Remote. You're going to want to download the first application that pops up with the name Smart Remote

Install and Program!

once installed, you basically follow the directions given but are sometimes difficult to get started, as it was with myself. you click on the top right icon after installation and click 'add room ' and follow given instructions. you simply enter your zip code, brand of tv, and get setup in no time! enjoy messing with people or simply being lazy :)
