After waiting a long time and I do mean long, Psiloc’s irRemote finally became available for BETA testing. Latest news is now that the BETA version of irRemote is available for those Psiloc customers, who have bought and activated any of Psiloc’s S60 3rd application on the device they are using now (the Smartphone is identified by IMEI number). To activate irRemote, customers need to select Activate for free and follow the instructions. The beta version will be valid until 15th of November.

Psilocs informs that “The main feature of Psiloc irRemote is ability to remotely control audio and video equipment using your Smartphone. The database of compatible codes is continually being evolved by end users who can test and rate all the codes. It supports most brands of electronic devices available on the market. Moreover, irRemote is usable with no additional software or hardware required.

If you cannot find the codes you need, you can upload your own ones and build your own remote control using the online wizard at http://irremote.psiloc.com. Please rank the codes you have added within 48 hours otherwise they will be deleted.

We are still seeking the most proper way of communication between IrRemote and device you want to control so it will be a great help for us if you can choose different methods of communication and rank it. You can change the communication method by choosing: Options->Settings->IR mode.”

If you have you purchased any Psiloc app, you can get your free trial of irRemote here, more info about the app can be found here. I’m sure if they get this done by the end of the year, this should be one of the most popular apps for the holiday season. Is this one of the apps you’re waiting for this holiday season?
