Kishin’s QXMH smart hub turns almost any infrared-controlled device into something you can command from your phone. It’s a small black puck that sits on a shelf and beams signals in a full 360-degree arc. That wide coverage matters because it means you don’t have to point the hub directly at your air conditioner or TV. Place it in the center of a room, and it handles devices in every direction without line-of-sight fussing.

The core function is straightforward. You plug it in, pair it with the Yatu Smart app, and add your devices from a library of compatible brands. Once set up, you can turn off a forgotten air conditioner from the office or schedule a space heater to warm up the bedroom before you wake. The hub works with most infrared remotes, so it handles TVs, set-top boxes, fans, and soundbars without extra hardware. The app lets you create routines that trigger multiple devices at once, like dimming the lights and turning on the TV when you say “movie time.”

Setup takes about ten minutes, and the hub stays reliably connected over Wi-Fi. It includes batteries for the remote, but the hub itself plugs into a wall outlet. There is no battery requirement for daily use. The black finish is unobtrusive, and the 360-degree design genuinely simplifies placement. If you have a handful of IR devices and want a single app to control them all from anywhere, this hub delivers that without complexity.
