Finally, the Google WiFi Remote: A Journey through the Remote Control Multiverse

I had been interested in remotes and remote control technologies, ever since the first Casio learning remote control watches in 1983 and the huge 100 button Kenwood learning remote.

There was even a guy in school who had brought his father's car remote.

I had even taken apart my brother's toy wheel loader with the wired remote and made a boat out of it, with a lighted cabin. That was the only time I scored high marks in school :D

In those days, you had to keep your remote in front of the learning remote and first press the button which will store and then the button you want to store.

Fun times.

Then there was the mobile phone based remote app (Psiloc remote on the Nokia 6600).

Till this point, all the remote technologies were based on IR (Infra red) transmitting technology, to the extent that even IR hotspots existed to use IR for internet. Imagine holding a phone to a sensor connected to a computer, to get internet :D 

After that, came the Nokia N8, with the HDMI cable connectivity and a bluetooth based remote. Also that amazing FM transmitter for audio output.

After that, the Redmi phones came back with IR and with their remote app to control air conditioners and fridges. Most of the service guys bought Redmi so they always had a remote.

So welcome, fellow adventurers of the remote control realm! Today, we embark on a wild, mind-bending exploration of the WiFi Remote. This revolutionary device transcends the boundaries of traditional remotes, merging concepts from toy remotes, remote control watches, learning remotes, IR remotes, Bluetooth remotes, smartwatches, and even the connected car.
