Beam i580 Universal Remote (Walmart JUNK)
It is the smart remote I 580 let’s see combined six remotes and one supports thousands of brands. New device updates, backlit buttons and to find my remote feature and is made by beam baam. They have a see there. They have a Apple, App Store and Google Play and easy to set up with the beam app which I have already went and found on my phone so stuff I already read: oh, it has four buttons that can easily be customized with your favorite commands I’m. Not going to do everything this remote can do because this would take forever. I literally bought this remote because I have several different things. I would this like to control with one remote, also just stereos, so control multiple devices as one find my remote feature, which would be probably done via the app and supports thousands of brands, and it is bluetooth, obviously that’s how your phone kinks to it requires four Triple a batteries not included yeah, since I did not prepare at all for this let’s get her opened up here. On boxing, I was just gon na open it I’m in a hurry today, so whoo shiny, whoo, all right, okay instructions, oh there’s, a code list which we will keep this beam: smart, remote, universal remote, I 580 user guide and it’s one of these it’s. Like a map, let’s see not bad, I mean so far. It looks pretty. They got a nice table of contents over here, OOP table of contents lease up there’s another page, so man whoops.
This is oh wait. That’S it down any Hooser that’s it instructions are pretty good. Some of these instructions on these cheap Chinese products can be pretty atrocious, which I don’t know if I’d say is this cheap 20 bucks is pretty average price for a universal remote we’ll see how good this one is. I have a. I have the Sony one as well right here. That’S worked really good. You can get these on eBay for 15 to 20 bucks it’s, the Oh. What model is this? Oh, so that’s the RM vz3 20 man see we need some batteries for this guy yeah. Fourth, trip phase four triple A’s grab, some of those all right back with batteries. These are EBL rechargeables. Then I buy off Amazon. I have had pretty good luck with them and everybody should buy rechargeable batteries. I don’t know why you wouldn’t alright let’s get those in there all right, that’s on let’s, see let’s get the app going here. Key where’d it go. I simply just went in and I don’t know if you can see my phone screen. I simply just went in and searched beam and the beam smart. Remote comes up, so we’re gon na hit install bla, bla bla. Oh it’s. Fifty four point: eight eight megabytes, which should take new time on the Wi Fi installing make sure everything goes good here. What’S. This apparated just have got a good rating. No, it doesn’t has a two point: three ready that does not give me confidence we’ll see how this goes.
Let’S open, the app pairing beam, remote mixture, Bluetooth of the smartphone, is on. It is on to start pairing press and hold the apps button and tell the power button lights up. Okay, then it beeps at yeah. Okay, it is ready to pay our I mean see. The power button is lit up red now, okay, allow a beam to access device location. No, whereas this remote need to know my location. I wonder if that’s how the find my remote thing works. I don’t plan on losing it. So no you got to allow the location they want to know where you live. If you buy the remote, do you see what’s doing there I’m, so whoa kind of neat huh go to sleep, go to sleep guy Steve! This is gon na take forever. Oh says: searching search. Device failed well, let’s turn bluetooth off once this crap out of here, no don’t do it: marriage, don’t Bluetooth, back on no remote showing up. I mean this might be a short video. This thing doesn’t pair as the one of the reviewers said on the Playstore. This will be a very short video, not oh right. There beam, I said, turn bluetooth off and back on pairing. Do it and I think we’re done. I think we are paired. So we go back to the app tell it to refresh and should hopefully be like. Oh you paired it now. We’Re good waiting, waiting, no don’t need to use smartlock don’t even need to search.
It said you paired just work still trying to pair up it. Stop thinking I engage, gave up no sit, Oh leave, he hit back it just dumps you out beam and start over hi press and hold the run to the lights up that is still lit up. I don’t know what you can tell there, but it is lit up just tap the next arrow it’s gon na do it’s a little crazy thing again anyway. Can I just like hit hit that so we just tried different stuff. Now, Applause mm – hmm, the too far apart didn’t you be closer. Are we doing? Is it like a gon na be real, close kind of thing? Okay, that well, why that’s not working? What lets me least see the instructions installing batteries got that down. You could probably just use the code list, but in that case I just use the Sony remote. I bought this because I can program it with my phone, but it’s not going to work if you can’t connect it we’re aware getting this started for a gram I’m. Assuming it failed, it did fail again. Oh okay, I’m gon na talk to keep trying Music I’m gon na look in the troubleshooting, hmm, nothing to do with Bluetooth. Apparently the Bluetooth should just work, but that apparently, is not going to happen. I mean I’m following what the app says to do here. When you open it open up beam, you can try can’t, see it very well.
This crap out of the way, says pairing a beam remote to start pairing press and hold the apps buttons until the power button lights up, power button is lit up, make sure the Bluetooth on your smartphone is on. My bluetooth is on 100 see if I go. If I turn the Bluetooth off and turn it back on, the beam does show up shows up right there. Do it we’ll do a scan, see if it comes everything: new Music Applause, Bheem, bheem, let’s, try sticking weights when options connections, bluetooth. No, I don’t! We need to rename or unpair it mean let’s do bean one thing: we’re not doing nothing. Oh geez be map. Don’T have to keep holding that apps button down. Even after the light comes on you just keep holding it till it pairs. Didn’T say so. Oh, my goodness search device failed batteries are obviously incorrect. That was like the troubleshooting just check your batteries. I know these batteries are good and they’re in properly. I really would like this to work. Okay, this is what we’re gon na do, since I cannot get the Bluetooth to work at all. This thing’s gon na have to go back to Walmart. I am NOT going to use the code list. There’S no point I’ve already have this on your oops. This on your mount, which works great works, just fine and is easy to set up program, and I used I have to use codes for this one, so I don’t know why I would have to universe remotes, especially the Sony one quality wise just seems better.
I mean this one’s nice. I don’t really like the gloss front. It’S kind of you know. Why would you make a Gloucester on something you touch all the times to make tons and tons of fingerprints? But I was willing to look past that if this thing did connect to my phone – and I could just easily set it up – but apparently they can’t get that done for 20 bucks, so I’m gon na have to look to probably a more pricey remote. So this guy is just gon na go back to Walmart and I will just look elsewhere so in the future, if you see this beam, smart remote, I 580 at Walmart for 19.99 don’t, buy it even if it’s on rollback, which is whatever I a couple of The comments in the Google Play Store also said they were having trouble getting it to connect to their phone. So, yes, I would pass on this one. Unfortunately, unless you don’t mind using the code list far as the code list goes, most universal remotes do support and tons of codes. So you have a lot of options. If you’re, just gon na use a code less, you wouldn’t necessarily need to buy this one. Actually, I would recommend you just buy the Sony one, but anyway that’s it. This thing’s going back like subscribe.

It was because you were pairing from your phone…you just turn on Bluetooth. And let the remote pair itself. DO NOT PAIR VIA YOUR PHONE. This remote works pretty well with any remote system that doesn't require a digital screen. However even then, simple commands work fine.
Wow what a flashy package. It didn't work.. ever
The App is definitely stupid. But I just used the code list. All the buttons still don’t work on it. But I deal with it because I’m just a lazy truck driver who doesn’t want to manually power off the tv at night so that’s all I really use the stupid remote for anyway 😂😂
I've just recently moved and lost my code list, I'm trying to set it up for my Samsung Blu-ray disc player model #BD-EM59, any link with the actual code list or codes for said blu-ray disc player would be greatly appreciated.
Future – maybe figure it out before you make the video so it's not so long. I only bought this as a spare incase our regular remote disappears (as jt does on occasion with 3 children in the house.) Because of that, it's fine for my needs. If it was supposed to be my primary remote I would have taken it back immediately because it is a pos in all other regards.
It’s crap. It won’t connect to my tv, satellite, or sound bar. Luckily I paid $5.00
I got it to work with my cable box. But it was real sluggish. I went back to the cable remote and will be returning this. You leave Bluetooth on your phone and pair it with the app.
Same EXACT problem I had. It turns the the tv / cable on and off and goes through channels. I haven't tried using all the codes and the whole point was that I didn't you like it. I'm not a techie and don't feel like spending a ton of time on it, probablly to find out it doesn't work. Dog ate my remote…I guess on / off / change channels will do for now. Wish I could at least control the volume…
Does this work with lg because I just bought it and i can’t get it to work ?
I could not get mine to work at all either. So I used the code list but well over 75% of the buttons do not work like they should not even the Power button work… I really wish I would have seen your video before I bought it ..
You use the code list in the paperwork first to pair the tv then the app bro
Drugs are bad mmmmmmk
I had it paired to dish and then reset the remote and tried to pair again and it won’t pair (codes on website don’t work)
Someone tell me codes for dish
Connect to my android box, TV , my JVC radio reciever that's 17 yrs old. Cant seem to connect to my firestick. So far it helped me cut down from 4 remotes to 2 remotes in my Man Den
When your an idiot and can't hook it to your Bluetooth 🤣🤣
I had no problem with this remote at all..maybe it's to smart for you people to use 🤣🤣🤣
This guy is an idiot and so are the people that have watched this video..how hard is it to program a damn remote..simply follow the given directions 🤣🤣🤣
Can't connect it to nvidia shield. Dislike.
It's probably a good idea to follow instructions instead of just assuming you know how to pair this device. I have one of these remotes too and you are supposed to pair it in the app not in the Bluetooth menu.
Mine works fine except for not able to program Roku
Will this work for ps4 and fire stick
Thanks for the helpful review. I personally find this is a great remote and awesome value. The set up with the app is so easy, but the beep while programming is terrible. It now costs less than $20 FYI. I have it running my roku and tv. Later I will program it for custom buttons and functions. The only thing that is a joke is the find remote function. This is a sales gimmick, as it needs to be connected to your phone through a setup type function. The instant you push a button, this function disconnects from your phone. Therefore, you will not be able to find the remote later, as it only remains connected in the programming function. Obviously you will have been using it for your tv before losing it, and the phone will have been disconnected to acheive this. Bleh. Still, a great remote.
You should have tried to go to your apps and or assist storage clear cache.. had the same problem and it works for me after I I cleared cache
I did with Bose solo 5
Code for Amazon fire tv
I took mine apart and the it blaster is not soldered you the board! Quality control is junk.
You can program all you want, what a waste of time and money.
Dude totally just did it!!! Use the code list 🤘
I just bought this yesterday it works for my tv,cable box and sound bar but not for my roku stick, what a bummer.
well at least I got ride of three remotes.Wish there were more code to roku I tried all ways listed nothing and the app on my android phones don't work to pair it fails every time I try.
I give up on that but at least I have my phone for roku and a roku remote I will be fine.
So far it works with my TV, my soundbar, my Xbox one and my dish receiver. Trying to get it to work on my android box as well.
Does this thing have problems with specific phones explaining why some people have problems and some don't?
it will cut on my tv but not off, it can find my remote but no other features are available on the beam app.
Programmed quickly and easily on my TCL Roku TV and Directv box. Works great for me because I’ve lost a million of the tiny Roku remotes I’ve bought and other universal remotes haven’t been able to work with my Roku TV. Worth $15 to me to be able to find this big size remote when my kid wedges it in the couch.
Got it connected to my s9+
I only bought this remote because it can be programmed via bluetooth and your smartphone. Since it didn't work with any of the 4 smart phones I tried and it has to be programmed manually with codes like any other universal remote it has no use for me. My Sony uni remote is already programmed and working fine. This remote is gloss black, thats a terrible idea for something that gets touched all the time.
Wow why do I have the same Sony remote that he had and I thought I was upgrading with the beam remote, The remote was not bad it controls all of my devices,my sound bar, my Apple TV my DVD player, and my TV my current remotes couldn’t do that, sometimes you get what you pay for
Just got this one. A few things I have issues with, and if I'm doing something wrong let me know…there's no "page up/down" for the cable menu, so I'm finding I have to scroll channel by channel. Had to use the codes and program manually, wasn't an issue but there's that. Also there's no "last" button so if you accidentally change the channel you can't just click last and go back. I tried adding that as a custom button but no luck. The plus side is all components turn on at the same time to watch TV by programming that "app". The app on iPhone is hit or miss but necessary.
OMG 16 1/2 minutes watching you fail to follow instructions & bash the product. Why did you post this?If you have wifi and BT enabled on your phone before starting the app, then follow the prompts IN THE ORDER GIVEN the remote will pair with your phone and you will never see that "Searching…" screen. You kept repeating the mistake of trying to pair to a remote that was ON but not in "Pairing" mode.Once you get through that simple step you'll find the app does nothing more than step you through the codes (Test – Did it work? – Next…ad infinitum) for each brand device you're trying to control. No magic–it really IS that dumb for a "smart" remote.I can only say the remote DOES work and is worth $20, though you may find the button assignments don't make much sense. For example it assigned the MENU button to perform the INPUT function for my AV receiver. Now how do I access the receiver's MENU?It's lightyears behind the Logitech Harmony smart remote I've been using for several years but then again it doesn't cost $120.Edit to add: The app is still on the Play Store (9/20/19).
You fking idiot turn on the remote first before returning
I just bought one of these yesterday the app is no longer on the play store just use the codes in the manual I was able to hook up my TV,Blu-ray player surround sound, Xbox One, and I used a second Blu-ray player (other)
side note the remote turns on/off any Xbox one your in front of
It works perfectly fine for my tv my daughter ripped up the code list so I can do it to my other tv so I’m screwed
