This product competes with the Logitech Harmony Link, RedEye system, and the Peel system. While this box requires a paid app (the competitors apps are free) and expensive in-app purchases (you'll spend a minimum of $20 on the Roomie app just to get control of 2 devices, and $50 on the app if you want more than 2 devices (who doesn't have more than 2!?) and a channel guide that isn't a joke). As scammy and annoying as that may seem, after all that you really will get an amazing, flexible, and robust iOS remote. Importantly, it should be noted that the Roomie app developers are separate from Global Cache, the manufacturer of this physical box. When you first get the box, you plug it in and hold the reset button. Be very careful with the reset button, as it's not really a button so much as a sensor that detects when you insert a paper clip. No need to push or insert far, because if you do, you'll break the infrared "command learning" sensor that sees through the same hole (and is located just behind the reset sensor). After following the relatively easy setup instructions to connect the box to your home network, the Roomie app saw the box without a hitch. The box comes with 2 IR emitter wires that have 2 emitters each at the end, which stick to the devices (stick them near the IR receiver on the device you want to control). This allows you to control 4 devices, but there's more! There is a third IR "blaster" that you can place in view of other (designed for multiple) devices to control more things. The Roomie app makes adding devices a breeze, and has an extensive library of codes for tons of different devices and manufacturers. If your device isn't listed, there's a relatively easy "teaching" process where you use the device's remote with the "learning port" on the IR box to teach the Roomie app the IR sequence for each button. This is where this Global Cache + Roomie app system shines, in it's flexibility. The Roomie app makes it easy to set up "activities" that fire off a bunch of commands (turn on, set inputs, etc...) and set delays between the commands. You can also customize the remote that displays with each activity, and delete all the buttons you'll never use that just create clutter. Again, this goes towards my point about how the system is flexible. However, while this is very flexible, it still doesn't make it complicated to use or set up. Honestly, I spent a good deal of time setting up my "activities," but I got the basics set up pretty quickly. In summary, this box, combined with the (expensive) Roomie app, is unbeatable and will eliminate your need for 4 remotes or any complicated universal remotes. If you or someone in your house is constantly perplexed by how to turn on the TV, get this! Review: Rubbish - Does not work. Connected to network just fine. Will not "learn" any ir remote codes I have whatsoever. ILearn application is super buggy as s*** and does not work at all. Never detected a single command at all. Rubbish, Pissed. ## Features - WIRELESSLY ACCESSES AND MONITORS IR-CONTROLLED DEVICES - The Global Caché WF2IR iTach provides WiFi connectivity (requires wireless Internet router) up to three infrared-controlled products. - ENABLES REMOTE AUTOMATION - You can remotely operate 3 IR devices using a 3rd-party PC software, iOS/Android control app, or high-end control system thanks to WF2IR's published API. - CONNECTS VARIOUS IR DEVICES - The WF2IR is compatible with infrared-controlled electronics such as flat-panel televisions, DVD players, cable boxes, and stereo components. - OFFERS SIMPLE SETUP - The integrated web server on the WF2IR allows you to configure the module immediately.

Will not "learn" any ir remote codes I have whatsoever. ILearn application is super buggy as s*** and does not work at all. Never detected a single command at all. Rubbish, Pissed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're technically savvy, tired of "toys" and need a Wifi to IR interface that works, look no further *by L***R on November 10, 2013* Works great with iRule on iOS (which, btw, I highly recommend as the ultimate "soft" remote). I have 2 of these Wifi boxes plus a hardwired Ethernet version. Not cheap, but worth the money. Initial setup is a bit cumbersome, but once setup these boxes work. Status LEDs for net connectivity and each blaster port is invaluable when debugging. Also, while this box can capture IR codes as well as blast them (assuming your SW allows custom IR codes) the process is pretty tedious. Be ready to cut and paste hex codes from the iLearn app. One tidbit learned the hard way: The tiny hole adjacent to the power connector is BOTH for the IR learning receiver (aligning a remote to transmit into that tiny hole is a challenge) AND the "reset button". However, there is no reset BUTTON at all! I had to break off an end panel on one to determine that the "reset" is really just two exposed pads on the PCB that you are expected to short with a metal wire. Use a paperclip (or similar gauge wire) to insert into the hole and do NOT expect to hit a pushbutton. There isn't one. In fact if you *do* push too far you'll hit the IR receiver and possibly misalign it. To reset: Insert a paperclip or stiff, bare wire about 1/8 inch into the hole and then "fish it around" a bit until you hit the two contacts. Hokey. Was the cost of a real mini-pushbutton really that prohibitive? Thankfully you don't need to reset the box frequently, so its not that big a deal. In fact, once configured, it is set-and-forget. As long as your Wifi hub is on the air, it works. So, while the configuration, IR capture and reset processes are less than ideal, I'm giving it 5 stars because folks buying these kinds of interfaces are expected to be technically savvy anyway. If you're not, get a Logitech Harmony. Once setup it just works day-in and day-out. Wish the same could be said about a lot of other home automation devices. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/1158276-wf2ir](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/1158276-wf2ir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
