Prototyping & Installation Tip
For this device to function, your Android phone must support OTG (On-The-Go). Ensure that OTG is enabled in your phone's system settings (usually under "Additional Settings" or "Connection"). Once plugged in, download a reputable IR app like ZaZa Remote or UniTV. If the device isn't recognized, try removing your phone case, as some thick cases may prevent the Type-C plug from inserting fully.
