Despite years of advancing technology, we’re still using infrared light to control our TVs. That means we are still scrambling for a remote during loud commercial breaks and need a direct line of sight to change the channel. With today’s GeekWire Deals offer, you can use your smartphone or even your voice to control all your TV gear.

The Blumoo Bluetooth Universal Remote is a little cylinder that beams out the IR for you. You use an iOS or Android app to change the channel, turn up the volume or switch to a different input. You can even program the Blumoo to navigate menus, allowing you to continue watching your Netflix queue with a single button press.

Your remote can also be customized, with built-in channel guides with just your favorite channels, and only the buttons you actually use displayed. Blumoo recently added support for the Amazon Echo as well, so you can now control your TV with your voice.

The Blumoo is just $ 52.99 from GeekWire Deals, 47 percent off the normal price.
