HTC IR API

Consumer IR, consumer infrared, or CIR, refers to a wide variety of devices employing the infrared electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communications. Most commonly found in television remote controls, infrared ports are equally ubiquitous in consumer electronics.

We provide a CIR API for application developers to provide a better user experience on HTC One devices using our open interface to send and identify IR code to control many consumer electronics.

With the release of Android 4.4, there is now a standard API for Consumer IR.
