Similar to the previously reviewed Rocki, we have another
device that takes one perfectly good thing and allows it to do something it
wasn’t intended for. This time around, we have blumoo, a small and
inconspicuous device that turns a phone or tablet into a universal remote that
is compatible with more than 200,000 different devices. The blumoo uses a
Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connection, infrared, and is compatible with both apple
and android devices. So after spending a half hour setting up my devices on the
app, I figure it high time to get to the experience.
Out of the box, the blumoo is small, sexy, and does not skimp
on build quality. On top of the fast and easy setup, sometimes it took a couple
tries to get a component synced, but once all was set up on the app, it turned
catching up on my TV shows into a new experience. This is mainly because on top
of being a universal remote, blumoo also doubles as a media manager of sorts.
In the setup, I was prompted to select my cable provider, and then was able to
view the channel guide, setup alerts for shows, and receive suggestions on
similar shows to check out. I have reviewed a similar device from griffin which
had some signal issues due to the need of line of sight, this does not have
that limitation and I was actually able to control my stereo from my patio.
