Ok I have all these old iphones lying around, can turn one of them into a remote using this device even if they are not "active" as phones??

I am not if an active subscription for your IPhone is required. I would think that if the app is on the phone that is all you need. Try emailing Re customer service to see what there response is.

I have the RE iPhone remote and use it on the Ipad but it also works on the iPhone. Allows you to select from a very large database of TVs, components, etc and also program directly from an existing remote. Works so well I did not replace the Harmony when it died.

The RE Newinetix remote works on an ipad, via wifi. If your iphone will work in your home network wi-fi, it very well should work. I have only used the RE remote via ipad. Cell phone is an Android.

I believe any iPhone (with cell or not) and any iPod with the dock connector can work as a remote. You have a good idea to repurpose them.

As long ad it's an iPhone and if you have it connected to wifi for software updates

I don't know for sure but I use one on an iPod and it works fine. I would think it would work on an iPhone.

Yes, as long as you can connect to a wifi network. I used it with my Touch and wifi only iPad successfully.

Yes, no activation needed, your WiFi connection will be sufficient for device updates.DO NOT Expect a 100% working remote, these type of "UNIVERSAL" remotes fail a lot, they do not turn ON/OFF when they supposed to, especially if you have multiple devices interconnected....they do their job with common annoyances.Other consideration is....(Very important to me) Since you are using older devices your battery in these devices is always used up or weak, and they need to be re-charged constantly, these remote uses lots of battery resources.I'll recommend other Universal Remotes, not this one....Sorry I'm just being 100% sincere!!!

The unit is just something that provides a place to hold an iPhone in place and connect it to a a Lightning cable and/or an audio cable. If you have an application that can perform remote control through one of these cables, then yes. Otherwise, no.

Yes... from the iphone app you can turn the unit on and off from standby. The power switch itself must remain on though. Works the same way from the actual remote.

Your "remote" can come in many forms: 1) if you have an Insteon PLM, then you can use your iphone, android, computer, iPad or whatever. 2) if you have an Insteon dimmer, you can link to that (no computer needed). 3) If you have an Insteon remote, you can link to that (no computer needed). 4) There are many other types of insteon devices which act as "controllers" such as I/OLincs, Motion detectors, door switches, KeyPadLincs... not only that, but you can link multiple controllers to one device, or one or more controllers to one-or-more devices.

Christine: It took me months to figure this out and I am sorry to tell you that I gave up. I downloaded the remote on my iPad and it works perfectly OK. I had email "conversations" for months with a support person who was very patient and tried to figure this out. Then my brother in-law came to visit and he told me that I had to make sure EVERY TIME that the Bluetooth in Settings on iphone shows connected (same on iPad). It still did not work on the phone but worked fine on iPad. Now, after a few months, I can say Aleluya, it works just by going to the app and touching the power button to turn the device on. Good luck. Hope this helped. Eva

You can if you want to use re-chargeable batteries in the remote .Best Regards,Glen DeKleinA Bit Of Everything

Probably not. Either way, this unit basically stops working after about a month of use...so you won't need the remote

Hi there and thanks for your interest. Not an expert on this device so I'm not sure if you can do what you ask.

Does not work with iPhones directly. Must use an app or alternative method.

I am no expert on this matter. You will need to get your iPhone unlocked to use another cell network. Good luck.

You won't be able to. This Box is not designed for the new model iPhones, which is why it sells for so low now.

I can from a desktop accessing remotely(you have full access to all functions from a remote desktop). I'm pretty sure you can from a mobile phone, however I have an iPhone 4, and the remote access barely works with it. I can only get live feedback on it. supposedly the app works best with an IPhone 5.

Nope from what I hear its droid only. I think if ur iPhone is jailbroken u might be able to get it to work. It's garbage though none of the pin codes worked and the seller still hasn't responded to me

If the phone is unlocked or jail broke you can use it. The phone has to be unlocked.

nope. the best way is via a computer. even using the standalone device isn't as effective (at least to me, others may have different opinions). they do have a device for the iPhone though. check out their website.

Yes. But like Bob Spencer mentioned, it has to be activated by the phone provider. Or if you already have one (like i did from my previous phone) you can use that one.

That depends on the app... I know that WWE Network has not been built with compatibility for remotes. Netflix and Hulu have however.
