S9+ as IR remote?

[maysider]

Hi,

my IR receiver blinks all the time because of some front sensor on the phone therefore could it be possible to develop any app and use the model as an IR blaster? What do you think, does anyone know which sensor (maybe the code beamer) does that and would it be possible without any Samsung permission and cooperation? Or does exist any reliably working and tiny 3.5 jack IR blaster with this model?

Thx

Nope. Last Galaxy S with IR I think was the S5

Funny enough I think it is just detecting the light that the iris scanner uses. That light is not smart enough to function as a remote though so while your phone may trigger the receiver it is not going to send it commands.

This is what I asked about, thank you

But the second question about 3.5 jack IR blaster still needs to be answered. Maybe someone in future will respond.

You can always use a cheap and very good working Broadlink RM Pro.

Even though the S9+ doesn't have an IR blaster you can get a wifi remote control that works.

That one is really promising, thank you!
