Remote Controls: frequently asked questions

Can I control my split AC from my phone with an IR blaster in the UAE?+

Yes. Wi-Fi IR remotes such as the BroadLink RM4 Pro, Luxion LX-BG-S05 and Luxion LX-BG-S06 send infrared commands to air conditioners, TVs and audio equipment, so you can operate them from a smartphone app with schedules and scenes. The AC itself needs no rewiring, only a clear line of sight to the blaster.

Does the BroadLink RM4 Pro work with Alexa and Google Home?+

Yes. The BroadLink RM4 Pro is a Wi-Fi IR and RF universal remote hub listed as compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. It can control TVs, air conditioners, curtains and other devices from your phone or by voice. Alexa has been officially available in the UAE since 2021, in English and Khaleeji Arabic.

Will a Livolo or Luxion remote work with any light switch?+

No. These remotes pair only with matching receivers. Luxion RF433 touch remotes and key fobs work exclusively with Luxion RF433 touch light switches. Livolo Zigbee EC remotes and glass panels, such as the VL-XR006, work only with Livolo Zigbee EC devices and need the Livolo Zigbee EC Hub.

Do self-powered wireless remote switches need batteries or wiring?+

No. The Luxion Self-Powered Wireless Remote Control Switches, in 1, 2 and 3 gang versions, use 433 MHz kinetic technology and generate their own power when pressed. They pair with the Luxion kinetic relay, which is fitted on the lighting circuit. Any fixed wiring for the relay should be done by a qualified electrician following DEWA, ADDC/AADC or SEWA rules.

Can I add a glass touch remote panel without rewiring my wall?+

Yes. Wireless panels such as the Livolo EC Glass Touch Remote Control Panel in 1 or 2 gang control Livolo Zigbee EC switches without new cables, and they require the Zigbee EC hub. This suits rented apartments, where structural changes usually need written landlord approval under the Ejari tenancy contract.

Which remotes are available for curtain motors and blinds?+

The Luxion LX-RM63 operates Luxion LX-CM01 and LX-CM02 electric curtain motors. The Somfy Situo 1 io Pure II controls one group of io-homecontrol devices and has an auto/manual function. The BroadLink RM4 Pro can also control RF curtain motors from your smartphone.

Take effortless control of your smart home with our range of remote controls and smart hubs. Livolo glass touch remotes let you operate all your Livolo smart switches from anywhere in the room, combining a sleek, modern look with simple, intuitive use.

For broader control, explore smart hubs from brands such as BroadLink, Orvibo, Sonoff and GeekLink. These let you manage compatible devices and monitor your home directly from a smartphone app.

  • Livolo glass touch remotes – ideal if you already use Livolo smart switches.
  • Smart hubs – app-based control and monitoring for compatible devices.
  • Home monitoring – a GeekLink hub, paired with suitable sensors, can alert you to unauthorised movement, smoke, gas or flooding.

Before buying, check that the remote or hub is compatible with the switches and devices you already own.
