- myself248 5y agoYou could use a phone as the UI, but the detection requires emitting and sensing very specific wavelengths of light that phones don't emit or sense, so there'd still be a hardware component.

- Schinken_ 5y agoFrom what I know (having owned two Xiaomi Phones with the 'Remote Functionality') it is a basic IR LED (just like a universal remote). The LED is seated on the top of the phone (like a regular remote) so capturing that light with the camera for analysis would be quite incosistent imho. But worth a try?
