Description

mbhRemote is a remote control app that interfaces with Global Cache' hardware devices, a built in IR blasters or other networked hardware devices. With mbhRemote and an IR blaster device such as a Global Cache' iTach IR, you can control any equipment that uses an IR remote.

One or more of the following is required by this app:
- A Global Cache' hardware device
- A hardware device which can be controlled over a home network
- An Android device with a supported built in IR Blaster such as the HTC One

It's a great way to navigate menus and program guides. The tablet remote is a composite of the keypad, swiper and normal remote.

3 different home screen widgets each with a unique combination of buttons

Several backgrounds to choose from

Any button can be programmed to switch to another remote. A useful approach is to use remote layout 'remote3' and set up all your remotes with the same remote switching options using the 5 buttons in the top row. For the button that represents the remote you're currently on, program it as a macro with no commands and set the text color to green. This allows you to easily see which remote you are currently using. Another good approach is to use the hardware volume buttons to move forwards and backwards through a set of remotes.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★powerful universal remote setup, intuitive ui with learning mode and macro control, well worth the cost
5 ★Very good app. Must have for all ir enabled phones.
5 ★This app is incredibly powerful. You can add IR codes for any device manually but the GC IR code library should be all you need. I love that I can create shortcut icons for frequently used buttons right on my home page... a very nice touch. Mike is very responsive to emails and has delivered an incredible product for a ridiculous price.
5 ★This to me is THE remote application for Android. It takes a little bit more setup than some of the other remotes you can find but it is way more flexible with macros and also the ability to import remote IR codes for your more esoteric equipment is awesome. To top this off the developer is super responsive to suggestions and questions. I can't recommend this highly enough!
5 ★As the app is still in beta I didn't expect it to be all singing. Thst being said, I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of adding codesets not included in the database.
5 ★If you're looking for a fancy and complicated web-based builder and have $50 to blow get iRule. If you want a fully customizable simple app with widgets and instant developer tech support for the price of a cup of coffee, grab mbhRemote. Works as advertised, interface is professional, and widgets allow convenient customizable control panels right on your home screen. Excellent app...keep up the good work!
5 ★Works fine with the GC-100-12 that I found on eBay, and it is more efficient (quicker response time) than another alternative in the playstore that requires a server (mbhRemote communicates directly with the GC-100). The developer was very helpful with an issue that I had. Overall a great app that does everything I needed without added bloat.
5 ★So easy to use. Big ups to the dev. Home automation for the win!
5 ★Very easy and quick to program once you figure out the steps. Ability to have as many remotes as you want in one android device is great. Obviously the price can't be beat! All I would like to see added is "prettier" buttons and more options for blank remote templates. For less than the price of a high end programmable home theater remote, you can have a nexus 7 or other inexpensive tablet dedicated to remote control duties, with the added bonus of being a great web device for viewing program guides, running apps, etc.
5 ★Its an excellent effort... Much more work to be done though... Plz add more remote types. Also add option for port .. As i use 3 iyach devices.All n all Looks Promising. Cheers!
1 ★Bollocks doesn't work tried using the same ip add as the one for me consol but nothing
5 ★Does exactly what I need it to and the dev is super easy to work with as well.
