UPIC-5ZBS Infrared Universal Remote Control

Introduction

UPIC5-ZBS is a ZigBee Infrared Remote Control. It is designed to operate your home appliances by transmitting IR signal. The IR Remote Control is capable of learning IR signal transmitted from the appliance’s remote control. After learning the signal, you can remotely control the IR Remote Control via ZigBee network to send signal to appliance without using the remote control manually and support Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware update capability. The IR Remote Control utilizes ZigBee technology for wireless signal transmission. ZigBee is a wireless communication protocol that is reliable and has low power consumption and high transmission efficiency. Based on the IEEE802.15.4 standard, ZigBee allows a large amount of devices to be included in a network and coordinated for data exchange and signal transmission.

The IR Remote Control serves as an end device in the ZigBee network. It can be included in the ZigBee network to transmit signal upon activation, but cannot permit any other ZigBee device to join the network through the device itself.
