Committed to supporting all appliances and devices, Tekoia unveils new iPhone version and extended smart appliance functionality for Android
TEL AVIV, Israel, August 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Tekoia [http://tekoia.com ], the No.1 ranked and rated Universal Remote app for
Android, launched today a new version of its award-winning SURE Universal Remote
[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tekoia.sure.activities&referrer=utm_source%3Dtekoia%26utm_medium%3Dgoogle-play-banner%26utm_campaign%3Dtekoia-hp&&referrer=utm_campaign%3DTekoia%20HP%26utm_medium%3Dad-analytics%26utm_content%3D1b717898-dcbb-4510-a80a-cb8e2e855016%26utm_source%3Dflurry ]
.
The iOS version takes advantage of a new partnership with Broadlink. All iPhones, and
some android devices, do not have infrared (IR) blasters, which prevents users from
controlling infrared appliances, a problem solved by Broadlink's, WiFi-to-IR converter.
The new version for Android includes several important updates, such as compatibility
for Sonos' Smart Speaker system [http://www.sonos.com/en-ca/system ] , as well as Kodi
[https://kodi.tv/about ], a free and open source media player application. Tekoia now
gives users the ability to stream content directly from their phones to any DLNA-supported
device, and SURE extended its smart home capabilities adding support for the Wulian iCam
[https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wu-lian-ai-kan/id998403924?mt=8 ].
Additionally, a "backup and restore" functionality was added to the new SURE Universal
Remote, so users can save their device information and remotes to Tekoia's SURE cloud.
This also allows user authentication with login, logout and password recovery.
Tekoia's SURE Universal remote app can be used to control more than one million
different digital media devices and smart home appliances across 5,000 brands, while
delivering great user experience and ease-of-use. Users can also display pictures and
videos from their phones directly to a smart TV.
"We are always working to improve our user experience and listen to user suggestions.
The new version of SURE includes a number of features that our users requested,
particularly in the new iOS version and the smart appliance capabilities for the Android
version," said Viktor Ariel, CEO and Founder of Tekoia. "Additionally, we are very excited
to support products from Sonos and Kodi as we continue to extend our ability to deliver an
unmatched smart home experience for our users."
