Today I have an Logitech Harmony 900 with the RF system to control all my devices. I have and AMP, XBONE, TV, and they all go over IR, I control my Shield TV with a Flirc so also IR.
I like the remote, it's easy to use and and RF system makes "line of sight" simple, it also have a nice WAF factor and battery life between charging is very good.
But... it's pretty dated and somewhat limited when it comes to "new stuff". I have been eying AppleTV 4K as a possible next device to get, and there is the problem - no IR so right now no go...
So what I'm looking for is a new solution that have more and newer protocols to use, like wifi Bluetooth and maybe others that I do not know exists, while still being as useful to me as my old one. I've been trying to read up on stuff here and other forums and I do have some ideas, now I'd like to hear what devices this makes you think of?
Happy to receive advice
