PMI SmokeGENIE Magic Remote

Overview

The PMI SmokeGENIE Magic Remote (Multi-Unit Control) is a compact RF controller designed to operate and synchronise multiple SmokeGENIE and compatible PMI haze or smoke units from a single handheld device. Built for film crews, photographers, and content creators, it enables fast, reliable, and wireless control of atmospheric effects during production.

This system allows users to trigger individual units or group multiple devices into zones, making it ideal for managing complex setups with several smoke or haze machines on set. With simple button-based control and no app dependency, it delivers a fast, intuitive workflow for live production environments where timing and reliability are critical.

The remote communicates via RF (radio frequency), ensuring stable control even in environments where line-of-sight infrared systems would fail. It supports multi-unit pairing, allowing up to approximately 10 devices to be controlled in different groups or simultaneously, depending on configuration.

Designed for professional use, the Magic Remote simplifies on-set haze and smoke management, giving crews precise control over atmosphere creation without needing to manually trigger each unit.
