What is the difference between Bluetooth and IR remote?
In general, the IR remote control uses an infrared signal to communicate with the TV. The remote control receives this signal and converts it into instructions that it sends to the TV.
This is why the infrared signal has a different wavelength from radio waves, which are used in Bluetooth communication. In addition, you can use a remote control that uses IR light to make it work with any TV, even if you do not have an infrared port on your TV.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices such as mobile phones and computers to connect wirelessly to other devices, including other phones and computers.

A small module inside your mobile phone can receive data from a wireless device and transmit data via radio waves to another wireless device, such as your TV or stereo system.
When you are watching videos on your mobile phone or listening to music on your computer, this connection can transfer content between them without wires being connected.
Bluetooth technology works through radio waves. This means that they cannot travel through walls or barriers such as windows or doors; they need a clear line of sight between the two devices for communication to take place.
