Iranian Knowledge-Based Company Develops IoT-Based Smart Remote Control for Electric Devices
“Given the growing need for smart energy consumption control systems in offices, commercial and residential buildings, our engineers tried to meet the needs and managed to achieve the technology and producing smart remote control devices,” Mohammad Mehdi Rezapour, the managing director of the knowledge-based company said, according to a report by the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science and Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
“This device is an Internet-SMS control of electrical appliances (air conditioning, TV, heater, etc.) that provides the necessary services to users through IR (exactly like remote controls) without changing the wiring of electrical appliances,” the researchers further said.
“This device can store 6 IR remote controls regardless of the devices type and brand. It establishes communication with the device via the Internet and SMS system, and it makes it possible to send commands (for areas where there is no antenna coverage). It has internal temperature detection sensor and makes it possible to observe the temperature online. It also comes out with an Android-based application to comfortably connect to the device,” he explained more.
According to vice presidency’s report, the managing director of the knowledge-based company pointed to the differences between their remote control system and its foreign equivalents, adding, "The price of the device produced by our company is about one third of its foreign rival. Moreover, the servers of our devices are inside the country, therefore, it allows the users to enjoy better access.”
