I'm not to familiar with writing tasked commands I know there was a plugin to use tasker to voice control the infrared remote on Samsung phones...anyone able to modify that plugin to work with The G3? It would be awesome to use commandr's tasker integration to be able to control the TV with my gwatch. I've been looking around and can't seem to find one that's already available.

You could reach out to the developer of that app and see if they are going to provide support for the G3. It never hurts to ask.....
Isn't "asking" for anything on XDA a sin?

Asking a dev a support question is all good. Its asking for ETA's that are a no-no

Yes I just bought the app it worked awesome on my Samsung phones I would like it for my lg. But I have been doing some reading and it looks as if Sony and LG lock their infrared to the os or device somehow
Head's up, he added support for the G3 to this app! Now how do you use voice control with Tasker?
I have auto voice run a command via the Tasker plug in to turn the TV on and also switch the inputs

Anyone managed to use smart remote app with a sky box? There doesn't seem to be an option to select it?
Bump. No body? Or at least some alternative software.
The stock app doesn't support sky BOX's.Ive emailed the developer but they haven't bothered to reply.
Ive tried touch squid from the app Store the demo wm only allow you to turn devices on and off, the full price program is about £13!
Ive tried the demo and it turns the SKY box on and off ok but Im not sure if I want to risk buying the app & not all functions work

Tried the demo app on my grundig sky box, didnt work, although power toggle test did work on my xbox, would be nice to have an app to control ALL my ir devices, would be even better if it was a floating app too

I saw that touch squid. There is another version call touch squid pro for Samsung, but it's £30! Way too expensive
When I got the phone, I assumed the IR Blaster was a gimmick and that I would hardly use it. Therefore it was not a selling point when buying the phone. Now I use it everyday. It is just so convenient to control my TV and be able to change channels while looking at the channel guide!

I wish there was a way for it to open the app directly to the remote to turn tv on. there are about 4-5 button presses I need to do to get the tv powered on
I dont know why but I cant get the app to work. It keeps saying that it cannot connect to the server. Ive seen other people mention this problem but I dont know if theres a fix for it yet.
Sucks because I would like to use the feature.
The IR blaster on this device is much better than the LG or Samsung versions, IMO... And when it works apparently (sorry for the luck). It does upset me that you can't add it to the lock screen like Samsung though. With viper, and probably other ways as well, you can add the shortcut to the lockscreen, so that save a few clicks.

What is it called exactly there are loads of apps titled simply ' universal remote'. Having an app like that that needs so little setup sounds pretty cool.

If you didn't sign up for an HTC account at start dot htc dot com then it will do that. Once I went through that, the TV app worked fine for me.
Can't put URL because I don't have enough posts.

You can set it as lock screen. I just did. Your doc at the bottom is the same as your lock screen so you have to change it to one of those.

Yeah, I didn't think of that. It would be nice if we could set up as a widget. Be nice to double tap and there's the remote. Since its stock on other OEMs, I'm hopeful someone will make it happen on one of the great ROMs we have to choose from.

That's what I've been using. It has more remotes in it and you can input the hex codes. I've made some ir controlled switches and it has worked well for me.

Just an FYI, you can tap the add button on the top right in the TV app to set up any button from your controller. Don't think many people know that from reading this thread.

Try skiplock.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benhirashima.skiplock

Problem with this software or the tasker BTNear function, is the battery consumption it requires to track the device.
Here is an alternative solution i made here that take virtually no battery, and root is not needed.
The trick is that it will not track the device itselft, but the notification Android make when the device is connected/disconnected.
here's a step-by-step mini guide to use tasker and smart connect to enable/disable lockscreen
hope it helps

Nice idea, however smart connect refuse to add action with low energy Bluetooth devices (Sony smartband for example)
A bit stupid because it is smart connect that notifies me if my smartband is connected or not.

I read in a review that the s6 has the same screen off capabilities as the moto x where you can command it and it will come on. Is this accurate?

Yes. I didn't get a chance to fully test its limits. The cool thing though unlike the moto x you can use any word you like. It doesn't have to be three syllables. In my text it was "hello" and it responded perfectly.
A follow up question: can that trigger Google Now rather than Samsung SVoice?

My Note Edge has a native app called Smart Remote that comes pre-installed and works great. Even have my ac programmed! You mean other variants don't have this? That's pretty dumb on Samsung's behalf.
