Universal Remote

Postby gerryh » Sun Nov 19, 2023 7:41 pm

Any recommendations for a universal remote that I can use to control my smart TV, my STB, and my sound bar?
Fed up with needing 3 separate remotes.
Cheers

The best was the Logitech Harmony range. The top of the range is the Elite. I have one and its brilliant. Sadly, they were discontinued a couple of years ago. You might find one on eBay. If you can get the hub on its own, without the remote, the app works even better.

I used one of tjese type universal remotes for a while. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000552 ... 00160205_1. Wow, thats a url and a half.

Although mine was a Blitzwolf model. Worked well, but now redundant as all the devices i use for tv have bluetooth remotes so ir is no good.

Thanks for the replies.
A search for opinions seems to agree that the Logitech Harmony range was the best, but as Sid says they are no longer made.
A search also suggests that the Sofabaton U2 is a good replacement for the Logitech ones.
These are supported with new devices being added to the list of supported devices.
They are sold by Amazon.es which is another benefit.
