- Advantages:Inexpensive, widely supported.
- Disadvantages:Line-of-sight required, limited range.
Radio Frequency (RF) Protocol
RF remotes use radio waves to communicate with devices. This protocol offers greater range and flexibility than IR, as it does not require line-of-sight.
- Advantages:Long range, no line-of-sight required.
- Disadvantages:More expensive, potential interference from other devices.
Bluetooth Protocol
Bluetooth remotes use wireless technology to communicate with devices. This protocol provides secure, two-way communication and allows for more advanced features.
- Advantages:Secure, two-way communication, supports advanced features.
- Disadvantages:Limited range, requires Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Wi-Fi Protocol
Wi-Fi remotes connect to devices over a Wi-Fi network. This protocol offers the widest range and allows for control from anywhere within the network’s reach.
