Guide to using IR blasters for ethical and unethical uses
You can use IR emulators to turn off TV's, projectors, AC units, and most devices that use a remote! This has lots of uses, and usually no pairing is needed so its very easy to use! You can use this at school or work with ease!
It should be noted that IR blasters can often be used for ethical use.
Ethical uses:
The fun uses ;) (I do not endorse these)
So you wanna know how you can do this... I'll tell you!
Let's get started, it's easy!
Step 1: Hardware
First, you will need to purchase an IR blaster. These can often be found on amazon for SUPER cheap (15$ to get started);
My personal IR blaster is a small black minimal one on amazon. Cannot post the link as I am not able to do so.
I like this one because it plugs into your phone and is very small and compact, making it tricky to be caught with. It's alright, although the range sucks and could be better. Haven't tried other ones though so I wouldn't know how much better other ones are.
The Flipper may also be a good option, although as we know flippers can be quite expensive and tricky to get.
Step 2: App/Software download
This will most likely apply to the blaster above!
I personally use Ocrustar on an iPhone 13. You can search it up on the iOS app store.
For Android users, the app is also available on the Google Play Store. Haven't tested it though so let me know how it goes if you do!
Step 3: Lets use it!
Insert the device into your device. It should automatically detect it. Then, you can choose your target device from the app. Open the remote in the app and just press the button and point the blaster at the device you wish to mess with. If it works, you are done!
Have fun!

Ethical uses:
- - Lost your TV's remote? No problem, just use your IR blaster to simulate that remote until you get a new one!
- - Using a Flipper? Use apps paired with the IR blaster to load specific IR codes into your Flipper!
The fun uses ;) (I do not endorse these)
- - Turning off projectors or TV's during class to stop a lesson immediately AT WILL! Your teacher or instructor will most likely have no idea what's going on!
- - If that won't work, just go to the calibration menu and decalibrate/deconfigure the projector! This will often make it unusable until an IT staff comes to calibrate it!
- - Turn off TV's in shops, cafes, and more! (try not to harass employees too much though)
- - make people real damn confused
