Kool Tools: Blumoo universal remote
Blumoo from Flyover Innovations is a universal home entertainment “appcessory” that users control of all the audio and visual equipment in their home. The patented technology blends Bluetooth 4.0, infrared and an app-enabled iOS or Android device.
Blumoo was designed as a new-fangled remote control technology that works with all the mobile devices in a home, but also helps users find favorite TV shows and movies all from the touch of a smartphone or tablet. Blumoo can be used as a universal remote for more than 250,000 different types of TVs, Blu-ray players, cable boxes, home entertainment systems, and more. It converts Bluetooth Smart signals from the mobile devices into conventional remote control infrared signals.
Blumoo integrates in a long-range Bluetooth Music Streaming receiver. This allows users to not only control a stereo or soundbar via the app, but also access and stream music from mobile devices being played through Blumoo. The unit can stream music up to 150 away.
Blumoo also integrates in an interactive TV channel guide with filtering capabilities within the remote control application. This helps users find all shows available to them. Simply click on the desired show and Blumoo will turn on the television and play it.
Blumoo automatically updates itself to have the latest databases, updates and feature enhancement. It sells for $99 and is available at Best Buy, Sams Club, Amazon.com and at www.blumoo.com . The Blumoo App is a free download at the Apple App Store.
