This procedure is similar to setting up a Harmony universal remote, with some major differences. Doing this will take you to an Identification page scroll down and you’ll see a tab to add new devices. First you must pick and name a room (mine is Home Theater). Now you’re ready to set up your devices and activities. Following instructions in the Quick Start Guide, you then incorporate the RedEye device into your home network. RedEye initially sets up its own network, which you discover by viewing your iTouch’s WiFi settings.

To initially set up the RedEye, you plug the base station into AC power, and make sure you’ve downloaded the application software to your iTouch. Lighted, the base station is very bright and might be distracting the RedEye software includes a switch to turn off the lights.įor the RedEye, you’ll need a computer, a WiFi network, and, of course, an iTouch. Though called the RedEye, my sample was blue, either in dormant state or when its LEDs were illuminated. The bottom has channels so that the power cord can be plugged in and run out the back, left, or right side for a neater installation. Its sides are smooth and transparent, and the top has a typical iPod dock.

The plastic base station is about the size of a bar of soap, 3.5” x 2.75'x 1.5'.

Since I knew I’d be using RedEye regularly, I placed the icon for the download in the row of four at the bottom of the iTouch screen, so that it appears on every menu page.

What’s not in the box is the application itself, which is free and can be downloaded from the Apple Application Store. The RedEye hardware ($188 USD) comes packaged in an attractive and sturdy box that contains the base station, a power cord and transformer, four adapters to allow your particular iTouch device to dock with the station, a Quick Start Guide, and an Important Product Information Guide, the latter containing safety, licensing, and warranty information. The basic idea is simple: RedEye allows my iTouch to send signals through my WiFi network to the RedEye base station, which converts them into infrared signals that can control my preamplifier, power amp, television, cable box, three Blu-ray players, one HD DVD player, an SACD/DVD-Audio player, a Squeezebox Touch, and an HDMI switcher. RedEye isn’t the only one, but it’s the only one that uses a base-station transmitter.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before several apps appeared that could do that.

When I installed that app, my mind raced forward to a time when the iTouch might control everything in my audio/video system. IPeng pointed the way to this several years ago by producing an app that would allow an iTouch (assume from here on that when I say iTouch, I also mean iPhone and iPad) to act as a remote control for the Logitech Squeezebox family of products. Thanks to apps, I have such different things on my iTouch as the complete plays of Shakespeare, access to all of my e-mail, three different weather forecasts complete with Doppler radar, workout moves, bird calls to help identify feathered friends in the backyard, and now, thanks to the young and innovative company ThinkFlood, a powerful universal remote control. One of the coolest things about them is discovering, through applications (or apps), the diverse and wonderful tasks they can accomplish. Apple gets some details wrong, but overall, they create communication devices that are cool enough to match one’s wildest imagination. I love my Apple iTouch! Of all the electronic toys I’ve acquired in the past two years, it’s the best, and I imagine that other owners of it (or the iPhone or iPad) are just as enthusiastically in love with theirs.
