RedEye is your personal remote control.
With the RedEye system you can use your iPhone or iPod touch to control your TV, stereo, cable box, DVD player, and many other devices that receive standard (infrared) signals. In other words, no more hunting through your sofa cushions for all those different remotes – all the control you need is right in your pocket.
RedEye is...
PERSONAL. Each person in your house can use her own iPhone or iPod touch as a controller, and more than one controller can interact with your gear simultaneously.
SIMPLE. One touch launches any activity – watch TV, listen to music, play a video. And custom screen layouts for each activity mean you never have to hunt for the right button.
SMART. Multi-touch gestures for common functions, free software upgrades delivered through iTunes, the ability to control different rooms from anywhere in the house – all cheaper than other universal remotes. ...More

We've covered RedEye's IR dongle for the iPhone a few times. Originally, it was introduced as a complete add-on for the iPhone that allowed you to control any entertainment center reached by infrared. Over time RedEye has pushed to simplify the unit more and more, instead providing a cheaper and smaller experience. Now the company has done that again. While the original iOS app offered a lot of different customization and functionality, the new RedEye mini app offers a straightforward TV remote experience. It's free, like the full app, but instead of having to customize everything exactly the way you want it, you can get a simple channel changer and volume control to use on your iPhone. It's been interesting to watch companies like this learning what Apple already knows: while power and customization definitely drives part of your audience, the real way to sell a product is to make it

The plug can crack away from the case and cause problems. In fact, the plug is attached only with a small piece of adhesive tape, which reduces the total structural integrity to nil. The manufacturer of the C0101 lot felt that it was too difficult to solder the headphone jack to the printed circuit board in this fashion. As a result, we approved a design change that would allow

Jul 21st 2010 at 9:00AM Redeye mini is now in stock and available at www.redeyemini.com or store.redeyemini.com Just got an email from them saying they are recalling a ton of initial units: does it fit in when a bumper case is present? +1000! I wonder if the 1st-gen iPhone is truly unsupported. This would be a great use for my old one one which the wi-fi died, and is pretty much otherwise useless to me. RedEye + old iPhone 3Gs = Bliss. From the description in the App Store: "The hardware device communicates with your iPhone or iPod touch over Wi-Fi..." If that's the case, why does it need to plug into your headphone jack? Because they're talking about the RedEye base station: http://thinkflood.com/products/redeye/ The RedEye mini is a different product but uses the same app. If I had more than a TV and DVR, I'd look into getting one of

ThinkFlood’s first RedEye infrared controller for the iPhone and iPod touch was kind of neat but somewhat inconvenient and expensive. Their second attempt, however, looks to be a much more practical and affordable solution for controlling all of your home infrared devices and it’s called the RedEye mini. The RedEye mini fits somewhere between Power A’s Universal Remote Case and the L5 Remote. It’s a dongle like the L5 Remote, but instead of taking up your 30 pin connector it uses your device’s headphone jack, allowing you to charge your device while controlling your TV, receiver, Blu-ray player, or what have you. Since it uses a headphone jack, it is also capable of supporting multiple devices, unlike Power A’s Universal Remote Case. Better yet, you won’t have to flip your device upside down to use it. The RedEye mini can be configured and controlled via ThinkFlood’s free RedEye iPhone app. The

Ever wanted to use your iPhone as a remote control for your TV, DVD player, and more? Well, I have! A few months ago I was really excited to write about UiRemote, an app + hardware solution to control your home electronics. At the time, the devs even offered to send me a beta version so I can try it out for myself. I’m still waiting for the product to be mailed, and quite honestly, I think their project died along the way. RedEye on the other hand is not a beta and it is currently available to anyone willing to put the price into it. RedEye [iTunes Link] is a universal remote control solution that turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a remote for any IR-equipped device in your home. In other words, it’s an iPhone remote control for your TV, DVR, cable, home stereo, etc… Engadget explains how

ThinkFlood has released RedEye, their universal remote add-on for iPhone and iPod touch. The RedEye remote is a combination of hardware and software that turns your iPhone into a truly universal remote control for IR-based devices. I received an advance unit to take for a spin, and tested it out with my (modest) home theater setup and an iPhone 3GS. The RedEye hardware is retailing at $188US. I mention this early because the price point affected my perception of the product quite a bit. From the packaging to the construction of the unit, it doesn't really feel like high-end hardware -- not the way my Harmony 1000 remote does. Granted, it's still almost half the cost of the Harmony 1000 and less than half of the 1100, but the lightweight, plastic unit just doesn't pull off the aesthetics or feel of a $200 piece of hardware. The hardware portion of the

After months of private beta testing, ThinkFlood's RedEye goes on sale today. You control the dock using an iPhone app via Wi-Fi, and it sends out infrared signals to control your AV gear. At $188, it's not crazy expensive, either. Being touchscreen-based, you can tailor buttons to your lounge room kit, and group multiple devices into single macro "actions". There's also basic use of multi-touch (two finger swipes for volume, for instance), and you can control additional RedEye units that may be setup in different rooms. The kit works with any iPhone or iPod touch, but doesn't yet support Bluetooth or Bang and Olufsen devices. I gotta admit, the RedEye actually seems pretty cool. If the price comes down just a teeny bit, it may become a must-have iPhone accessory. [RedEye]

THIS REMOTE IS AWSOME!!

..and so are the support team! If you want to show your friends one more incredible thing your iPhone can do then THIS IS IT. BUY THE HARDWARE, GET THE APP. If there is ever a problem SUPPORT WILL GO OUT OF THERE WAY TO HELP YOU, I know from personal experience. You can't afford to miss out on this increadible remote. Note: the software is still in beta (they're updating with all sorts of new and stuff). You will need a wifi network for this to work, but who don't have one of those? It's a great time to get in on the ground floor of this amazing application. A little on-hand programming is all that's needed (for now). Once you get past that, this remote is awsome!! Version 1.0.6 is coming soon. GET IT NOW !!!

Well I really need a remote for my tv cause my other remote broke. I thought that app. would be great but then I found out you have to buy a reciever and hardware! How pointless!?! It would be a lot cheaper to just go out and buy another remote. Ge'ez! Plus, not everyone has expensive stuff like lights that can be electronicly turned on & off with a remote and crap. This application is pointless. No need to waste your time,

The latest update, version 1.0.4, is a big improvement, but there is still a long way to go for this hardware to reach its full potential. (Don't forget that you have to buy the hardware. It is not a secret, but some people have missed it and act like they have been conned, even though it is a free app.) There is no list of preprogrammed devices, so you have to teach each command. This has been a problem for me, because even though my Dish Network receiver can receive IR commands, my Dish remote only sends Dish commands via UHF, so I cannot teach these commands.
I feel a little misled about the gesture recognition feature, which is shown in the video on the RedEye website, but it doesn't actually exist yet. Gesture recognition is key to making this a good remote; since you can't feel the buttons, you have to look down to find each button unless you can use gestures.
These are all problems that are understandable for a beta release, and support couldn't be better. All future upgrades are free, so as long as you are willing to work through the initial problems, you're sure to get a good remote...eventually.
The only negative reviews are from people that aren't aware of what this is!

Beware! This is beta software. If you love iPhone apps and are willing to work a little, this is one of the coolest apps with hardware I have seen. It gets better with each update. Current version I am using (1.0.2) works great. I imagine this will come out of beta once they work out the remote codes contracts. Support from ThinkFlood has been amazing. Keep your eye on this company.
Very good application. Excellent support.

This is really a very well written application. The screen options are very versatile. You can really create your own custom remote with only the buttons you use the most on the main screen. Options are available for macros when entering a screen, exiting a screen and when selecting a button. The combinations are endless. I needed to contact support a couple of times to answer questions and they are amazingly responsive and seem very serious about making this a first rate offering. The only drawbacks right now are 1. some delay in pressing the remote button and having the IR broadcast the button to the device (support is working to resolve) and 2. It takes some amount of sophistication by the end user to setup the remote. I don't think #2 is that big a deal since most iPhone users tend to be early adopters and somewhat technical.

I've been using the redeye app for about a week now and so far it has exceeded my expectations. This is not to say that it's not without faults, but being that it's still in beta I believe the best is yet to come. Sean - iphone-journal.com
Very good app. Been waiting for something like this since I got my iPhone.

This app is extremely versatile and customizable. I've programmed 5 different remotes and I'm impressed by the results. Each activity screen can contain buttons from various devices at once.
