text: This probably works fine as an IR extender. I bought it on the basis of using it with a OTG breakout cable, to control the normally non-IR equipped FireTV stick. I knew this was an extender and not a USB sensor when I bought it, but seeing as the seller had told another customer confidently "Yes, it will work with FireTV" - I thought It'd give it a shot, if nothing else, I could call out the seller's lies. It arrived, tested it, yeah...It's just an IR extender, as expected, no USB data functionality. This is fine, it's advertised as this. What gets it 1-star is the irresponsible, inexperienced, lazy seller telling another customer that it can do what it cannot.
