Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall, the Moes Infrared Universal Remote Control or the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller?
The Moes Infrared Universal Remote Control is the stronger overall pick, winning on price and owner rating while matching its sibling on WiFi connectivity, app control and voice assistant support. The Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller only wins if you specifically need RF (radio) control, which the Infrared model does not offer.
What is the biggest difference between the two Moes remotes?
The Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller adds RF (radio frequency) control on top of infrared, so it can also operate RF-based devices like some fans, blinds or outlets. The Moes Infrared Universal Remote Control is infrared only, in a noticeably slimmer housing.
Do both models support Apple HomeKit?
No. Neither the Moes Infrared Universal Remote Control nor the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller supports Apple HomeKit. Both work with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, connecting to Home Assistant through Tuya's cloud integration rather than natively.
Can either remote learn commands from my existing remotes?
Yes, both support smart learning and function as a universal remote, so you can teach either one the buttons from your existing remotes for devices that are not already in their control library.
Who should buy the Moes Infrared Universal Remote Control?
Anyone whose devices are all controlled by infrared, TVs, air conditioners, fans and similar gear, and who wants the cheaper, better-rated, more established of the two Moes blasters.
Who should buy the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller?
Buyers who specifically need to fold RF (radio frequency) devices into the same universal remote as their IR gear, and are willing to pay more and accept a bulkier unit with less of an owner review history.
