FAQs

Can I use this remote with Bluetooth devices?

No, the Smart Control Pro is designed exclusively for infrared (IR) controlled devices.

Does this remote work with game consoles?

It is compatible with game consoles that utilize an infrared receiver, such as certain versions of the PlayStation or Xbox that allow for IR media control.

Can I customize the app shortcut keys?

Yes, the three shortcut keys are customizable to launch your preferred streaming apps via the setup app.

What happens if I change my TV?

You can simply update the device profile for that specific slot using the OFA Advanced App without affecting the settings for your other seven devices.

Do the settings disappear when I change batteries?

No, the remote features non-volatile memory, meaning your programmed settings are saved even when the batteries are removed.

What is the 'Custom' activity mode for?

The custom mode allows you to define your own sequence of power and input commands for unique equipment configurations not covered by the standard presets.

Troubleshooting

Remote fails to control a device after setup

Re-run the setup process in the OFA app to ensure the correct device code was selected for your specific model number.

Buttons are not performing the desired function

Use the learning function to manually map the specific command from your original factory remote to the desired button on the Smart Control Pro.

Signal transmission is weak or intermittent

Replace the batteries with new alkaline batteries and ensure there are no physical obstructions between the remote and the device's infrared receiver.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces living room clutter by consolidating eight remotes into one
  • Intuitive step-by-step setup via the OFA Advanced App
  • Smart activity modes prevent the need to manually switch between devices
  • Learning function ensures compatibility with older or niche equipment
  • Customizable shortcut keys provide quick access to streaming services

Cons

  • Requires a smartphone for the most efficient setup process
  • Limited to IR-controlled devices, not compatible with Bluetooth-only hardware
  • Initial programming can take time to perfectly align all eight devices

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, download the OFA Advanced App on your smartphone. The app will prompt you to enter the brand and model numbers of your devices. The remote maintains a high level of compatibility with most infrared-controlled home entertainment products. Regarding care, keep the remote away from liquids and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces to protect the internal infrared emitter. If the remote becomes unresponsive, ensure you are using fresh, high-quality batteries, as low voltage can lead to inconsistent signal transmission.
