Frequently Asked Questions

What is this "Unified Control Framework" of yours?

The main idea behind the Unified Control Framework is that a universal remote control can really be universal if it lets anyone control any combination of devices or application, whatever the protocol. The Unified Control Framework will help us centralize and interconnect all existing and future protocols through a plugin system.

Can you really turn any Android device into an infrared remote control?

As far as the software is concerned, yes, we are able to turn any Android device into an infrared remote control. However, this feature requires a specific hardware in order to transmit IR signal and that's were things become complicated. Please visit the infrared plugin page to find out more about how to send IR signals with any Android device.

How can I create my own remote control layout?

The Coversal framework provides a very simple API which is very easy to use for anyone with a basic Android development knowledge. Coversal doesn't provide a remote control builder tool, so layout creation is currently reserved for developers. Now, if you're a designer and don't feel like getting into the programming, don't worry, just contact us and will work something out.
