Infrared remote control is one of the new features of Samsung Galaxy S4 that I like to use. Yes, you can connect your home entertainment system with Samsung WatchON on Galaxy S4. It provides program schedules and also let you remotely control the TV and set top box. No need to have TV and set top box remove controls with you anymore.
Samsung Galaxy S4 infrared remote control is one of the selling points. However, Samsung WatchON is limited to entertainment devices only. Can’t remote control other devices like aircon, projector, fan, DSLR, IR switch and etc. Luckily, there is a free Android application for that. Yes, iControl is the IR remote control app of the day. It is developed in China, so expect some words in Chinese. No worry, essential functions are still in English.
