In 10 years, smartphones have changed the basic forms of communication, entertainment, work, photography and many other activities. However, there are a few things seem to try them on smartphone users, which is a remote control device ...
1. Control the unmanned aerial vehicle and toys
Maybe you've seen some smartphone users control unmanned aerial vehicle. With unmanned aerial vehicle of Parrot, it even transmits live video to your phone look like virtual reality game. Meanwhile, the unmanned aircraft as DJI Phantom luxury and Inspire only allow users to control tablets, namely direct component video transmission control not object hovering like.
Multiple cars, boats and even airplanes are being developed under the direction of the remote control. Even the toy PowerUp also turn any paper plane into the plane yet playable by smartphone. Additionally, you can also shop for smart aircraft TobyRich can control very easily on the iPhone.
With these items can not glide on the air as car like TC Rally RC Moto can control through iOS apps. Even you can also use your smartphone to control Arduino boat moves across the lakes.
2. Home Theater
A lot of people have not tried this. Previously, the best way to turn a smartphone or tablet into a remote control that uses infrared them with inexpensive accessories and connection through the application on the device. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is equipped with infrared transmitter available so it can act easily a convenient remote. However, a lot of utilities supporting the infrared suddenly disappear in a few years, instead they turn to alternative wireless network.
Logitech is a typical example with equipment Harmony Ultimate Hub (99 dollars), can be placed in the center of a home theater (home theater). It uses infrared to control the devices in your home theater system. You can use a smartphone or tablet to connect to a network hub via wifi and free apps Harmony, to establish and operate the home theater system smoothly and professionally.
Hub not only for home theater, it also used to operate more complex operations, such as smart home control, turn off lights, air conditioning or gadgets in the home.
Of course, Logitech is not the only company doing this. Another company named roomie also sells the same device, and one of them is iTach Flex Wi-Fi (90 USD). Universal Remote Controls also makes hardware for home automation, including MRX-1 base station (320 dollars) can be turned into a smart controller if you want the perfect house.
3. Automatic
Time of Internet things (Internet of Things - IoT) is to help connect things like a refrigerator, sink, hair dryer, dishwasher, electric lights ..., generally all objects in your house with the Internet. That means you can monitor and control these applications via smartphone from anywhere.
Such pre-conditioning you want to turn on their way home, so that when the next available house cool room to relax. Or maybe watching the washing machine has finished washing less, or remote light seems to have people at home. It's great is not it!
The future is wide open on attracting many large technology companies like Apple and Google. Apple has named HomeKit project, Google also has Project Brillo. HomeKit get much support from the manufacturers, but it only works with devices that HomeKit authentication. Meanwhile, Brillo is compatible with all smart devices. The technology is still very new and has not appeared in reality. Perhaps we will have to wait a while longer.
4. Cars
The idea of a car remote control is also quite interesting. For example in the hot summer day, you can start the car from inside the house, turned on air conditioning to sip coffee finished taking the car everything was ready for the journey.
Premium cars today have more functional remote control (option). However, you can also equip this feature for your car through a third-party devices such as Viper SmartStart or Drone Mobile. However, the cost is also quite "harsh". Remote start package plus GPS tracking of Drone Mobile have $ 450, must be registered in addition to the monthly service package (from 50 USD - 120 USD / year).
5. Security Camera
The installation of security cameras around the house or office is a good idea, but to be able to use your phone to view and control the camera from afar even better. There are many applications for permission to do this as tinyCam Monitor (for Android; $ 4), IP Cam Viewer Pro (for Android, iOS, $ 4).
