Essential Info

Infrared (IR) remote controls have limited range and generally only work in the same room as the audio/video (A/V) component it controls as line of site is needed for communication to occur. The IR to RF to IR Remote Control Range Extender Kit, uses an internal transmitter that converts your remote's IR signal into a radio frequency (RF) signal, giving you the ability to control your components up to 100 feet away, through walls, floors, doors and windows. Simply slide one of the rechargeable batteries into the transmitter and switch that out with a battery in your remote control; it works with remotes using AA or AAA batteries (AA sleeve adapter included). When the remote control is used, the IR signal is converted to RF and is sent to a small, AC-powered receiver (RF base station), which is placed facing the components you wish to control. The receiver then converts the signals back to IR and sends them to your components, all in a fraction of a second. Ideal for home theater setups that have components behind closed doors, you have the freedom to move throughout your home and control components that are out of sight. This device operates on a 433 MHz RF frequency; it is also available in a 418MHz RF Frequency.



Important Note: This kit is NOT COMPATIBLE with remote controls using built-in rechargeable battery packs.

What's Included

  • IR to RF transmitter
  • Mini AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries (quantity 2)
  • AA adaptor sleeve adapter
  • RF base station
  • Emitter with eight foot cable
  • AC power adapter
  • More Info

    The internal RF adapter has a AAA-size transmitter and AA-size sleeve, so it can extend your existing remote control's operating range, regardless of which type of battery it requires. It will work with almost any remote control you'd like. Want to use it with more than one remote? Not a problem: add as many Extra RF Transmitters, sold separately, as you'd like. For homes where maintaining the décor is a prime concern, the system can be hidden from view by using the included Bright Eye Emitter, an unobtrusive, adhesive-backed LED at the end of an 8-foot cable. You can even use the same remote to control components in multiple areas of your home using an Extra Receiver for the IR to RF to IR Remote Control Range Extender Kit, 433 MHz.

    With Comcast controller, difficult to keep it from randomly skipping up more channels or pages when in menu mode. For example, press menu and page up and it might jump up 20+ channels. Also does not respond on first try.
    GEORGE -- perisher valley, Australia   11/14/2011
    The order arrived in a matter of days and works fine, excellent value one third of the price in Australia. Thank You. George Stipis
    MICHAEL -- commack, NY   11/7/2011
    Fair prices and quality products.
    DARRELL -- morehead city, NC   10/20/2011
    Does not work as good as I expected. While trying to adjust sound with remote, there is a delay that will cause the sound to either go minimum or maximum.
    MACIEJ -- chicago, IL   9/30/2011
    Works as intended, tested at 40ft in single family home. Great product.
    BRADLEY -- washington, DC   8/29/2011
    Great product! I couldn't be happier. The cable box is out of view in a closet and all the wiring is hidden. Great great product. I feel like I'm beginning to catch up to the Jetson's! I will absolutely be outfitting my new home with everything Smarthome! Thanks!
    YARON -- rindge, NH   8/22/2011
    Love this! Works and range is impressive as well!
    MIKE -- enfield, NS   8/12/2011
    I am disappointed. The unit controls my JVC receiver and Samsung blue ray but not my expressvu 6100 satellite receiver. I have tried everything and even called support for the company that manufactures the unit. They said I could send it back but then I would have to pay shipping. It appears that my lcd Sharp tv interferes with the signals to my satellite receiver. I have since read on support forms that other people have experience the same problems.
    SANDRA -- los gatos, CA   7/7/2011
    Exactly as promised!!!!
    FRED -- pasadena, TX   5/1/2011
    The items works great it is the second one that I have purchased...
    NATHAN -- fargo, ND   4/14/2011
    Superb product. Still confused as to how it works, and I don't care...it functions as advertised. Shipping was prompt and I will indeed shop at Smarthome again.
    ANTHONY -- hawthorn woods, IL   4/7/2011
    instructions very easy to follow. The product worked instantly after installation. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to operate an infra-red controlled device but has that unit concealed. Very easy to operate and install
    CAESAR -- ponoka, AB   3/10/2011
    Amazing signal power. Easily penetrates beyond 50 ft. through two walls.
    CARLOS -- cherry hill, NJ   3/3/2011
    Camcast cable tv sucks. They want $1.99 per box per month. With this device I have three TV's on one box for the kids room and can chnge the chanel from anywere in the house.
    RONALD -- fenton, MI   2/26/2011
    This worked flawlessly right out of the box. Couldn't be simpler, just charged the battery, popped it into the remote and put the IR sender by my Dish Network receiver in the basement.
    TODD -- plano, TX   2/25/2011
    This product works great. It allows me to control my receiver from anywhere in the house.
    KIM -- birmingham, AL   2/4/2011
    Item works with Charter Cable Scientific Atlantic box as stated to extend the reach of our tv remote to the closet where our components are installed.
    LEE JAY -- dacula, GA   1/31/2011
    this product easy to install and use, to quote my 10 year daughter "this makes the remote work to good"
    EDWIN -- proctor, WV   1/17/2011
