Want to quickly check your remote is working or not? Here’s a quick & simple test to make sure it’s working before you set it up.
WHAT YOU NEED: – An Android phone OR laptop camera – ❌ Do NOT use an iPhone — the lens coating filters out infrared light
HOW TO TEST: 1. Open your camera or video app 2. Point it at the top (sensor tip) of your remote 3. Press any button on the remote 4. If you see a purple/white flashing light on screen — your remote is working perfectly!
Still NO LIGHT? Try replacing the batteries first.
