All-in-one Remote

[WartHog]

Tired of having to grab/search for different remotes to control my Hisense TV, Samsung Sound Bar, LG DVD, and Roku Ultra box if possible. What are some good reliable units that're relatively intuitive to use?

Logitech Harmony is the gold standard for that.

You use an app to program in all your equpment and set which HDMI ports and such then it programs the remote for you. Pretty easy. Plus has macros where you just push Watch TV or whatever and all the stuff starts powering on and changing to the ports it needs to.

I believe its called Harmony because it makes harmony with your wife who hates having to hunt for 6 remotes and remember all the settings she needs just to watch a show.

If you have a Firestick it just kind of does all that built in...

Logitech (Harmony) is getting out of the remote business. I recently bought a Sofabaton and like it a lot.

Harmony is the best out there....and you can still find them on Ebay

Thanks, all. Although the Harmony seems well-recommended, $100+ is way more than I was looking to spend. Received a cheap 4-device Philips Universal Remote from Amazon today that paired with and is controlling my four devices just fine. If it craps out after the 1-year warranty is up, I'm only out $12.
