Why use BLDC Remote
Private by design
The app does not request internet access. Your fans, settings and blade photos stay on your phone and are never sent to us.

Common questions
What is BLDC Remote?
BLDC Remote is an Android app by oodhwe that uses your phone's infrared (IR) blaster to control BLDC ceiling fans, in place of the fan's physical remote. The remote is free; Pro is an optional one-time upgrade.
Does my phone need special hardware?
Yes. Your phone must have an IR blaster (consumer infrared transmitter). It is common on some Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco, Huawei and Samsung models and absent from most other phones. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi fans are not supported.
Which fan brands are supported?
Atomberg, Activa, Bajaj, Goldmedal, Innoel, Super, Kuhl and Orient. Brand names belong to their respective owners, and the app is not affiliated with or endorsed by any fan manufacturer.
How does automatic detection work?
The app sends each brand's power code one after another while you point the phone at the fan. When the fan reacts, tap "Fan responded" and the app saves that brand. If detection does not work, choose the brand manually.
