M20P IR blaster can learn too

[rakesh2002]

I managed to add three remote control profiles into my M20P, click on customise in huawei smart remote app and start adding..have fun.

Make sure you place remote ir close to about 2 cm to phone ir. Also you don't have to press and hold for 2 seconds, just press once and it will be registered. Remember to save before using the smart remote otherwise you will have to reprogram it again. Also reprogram buttons if they don't work after programming.

Nothing surprising, both the Mate 10 Pro and the Mate 9 Pro, and I guess some previous ones, did it as well. It's one thing I always liked about Huawei phones, with the other major brands abandoning the IR port. WiFi is the future, but IR is still needed by a lot of devices. The only downside is that it's able to learn just in the native app, forget about make it learn signals in other apps supporting signal learning like AnyMote. Unless Huawei recently opened its APIs, which I doubt.
I agree it's very handy. I can control my room's light/ventilator, my PC's 2.1 sound system, my Headphones Amp and pretty much everything else.
