With Infrared Remotes in Flipper Mobile App, you can easily control a wide range of devices, such as TVs, projectors, fans, and others. Simply select a remote in the app, point your Flipper Zero at the device, and control the device using the intuitive layout on your phone screen.
Unlike the [Universal Remotes](https://docs.flipper.net/zero/infrared/universal-remotes) feature, which sends out a whole dictionary of signals each time to try and find a match, the mobile app lets you pick the right remote once and save it for future use, which is much faster. This feature also goes beyond the limitations of universal remotes — it offers more buttons, supports a wider range of devices, and lets you control additional parameters of your devices.

On this page, you’ll learn how this feature works and what devices you can control. You’ll also learn how to find the right remote for your device and send signals using your phone.

# How it works and what you can control
The **Remotes Library** feature in Flipper Mobile App helps you find the right IR signals for your device from a database. Once selected, the signal is downloaded to your Flipper Zero and can be played back via the mobile app or directly from Flipper Zero.
You can find IR signals for a variety of devices, including:
- TV
- Projector
- TV Box
- Fan
- Air Purifier
- DVD Player
- Camera
- AV Receiver
The IR remote database is open-source and available on [GitHub](https://github.com/flipperdevices/IRDB). You’re welcome to contribute to the database — learn more in the [Contribution Guide](https://github.com/flipperdevices/IRDB/blob/dev/docs/adding_remote.md).
