Touchsquid Fans in Europe particularly Germany have been waiting for the release of Touchsquid remote control app Version 2.0 which adds support to the IR Trans Infrared Blaster. "This move will significantly increase Touchsquid's presence in the European market", noted Grahame Shannon, president of Touchsquid Technology.
TouchSquid Technology, developer of hardware and software solutions for home theater universal TV remote control, and IRTrans, German-based leading provider of connectivity products, announced today they have entered into a technical partnership. The agreement provides a platform for co-marketing and product compatibility. Using a combination of TouchSquid’s TV remote control app for Androids and an IRTrans infrared device, Android smartphones and tablets can be turned into powerful infrared remotes.
Based in Germany, IRTrans has a base of more than 25,000 users worldwide. Apart from home automation and home cinema use, IRTrans devices are used for environmental control, industrial applications and the control of broadcasting and cable networks.
IRTrans products connect almost any electronic devices in a home or business to a WiFi and/or IP network so it can be controlled, automated, and maintained by network-based software. IRTrans offers other connectivity products and capabilities, including IR learning and IR receivers and sensors, that can be connected to a network.
TouchSquid Technology is an emerging solution developer in the home theatre remote control industry. Their flagship product is an all-in-one remote control/tablet computer, but the generic TouchSquid App can turn virtually any Android device with an external IR blaster from IRTrans into a fully featured, high end home theater remote control with large, easy to read virtual buttons, intuitive user interface, and customizable screens.
The TouchSquid Universal TV Remote has an extensive library of over 200,000 supported devices (growing all the time), and an internet connected tablet can be used to browse TV listings and reviews.
By having the ability to store multiple profiles, using activity based button layouts with automatic input switching, and providing a quick, easy way to get back on track when devices are out of sync (in the form of the Squid help button), the TouchSquid App eliminates a number of common “remote control headaches” and enhances a viewer’s home theater experience.
Beyond simply adding remote control functionality to Android devices (tablets and full screen smart phones), an IRTrans device from IRTrans Infrared Control Systems can eliminate the need for line of sight visibility of devices being controlled by TouchSquid’s all-in-one device, thereby allowing devices to be hidden in a cabinet or a separate room.
