This is a RCA remote I bought from Walmart. It seems to require a proprietary app. Has anyone had any luck with this device or similar devices?
Edit: it doesn’t work with Bluetooth so no

Did you get it working? Walmart site looks like the app has two purposes:
- find the remote if you lost it
- program the infrared patterns to control TVs
And I found a manual for RCTSB3B here: https://www.rcaremotessupport.com/_files/ugd/ec680a_09673ac29cc34e20b0bbace7835548d1.pdf [it’s archived]
That sounds like a normal bluetooth input device, that part should generally work. Programming the infrared without the app might not work, but it should be fine to use it in combination with the regular TV remote.
I didn’t know RCA still existed.
Edit: They don’t exist anymore (since 1987), other companies are just selling their stuff using the RCA trademark.
Maybe look into using flirc usb https://flirc.tv/products/flirc-usb-receiver?variant=43513067569384
