It's been several years since Logitech pulled the plug on the Harmony remotes. I have three remotes (Harmony 665) that I've been nursing along, but all are showing signs of their age.

I've been looking for something to manage my modest theater system - a Samsung TV, a Samsung soundbar, an Apple TV 4K and a DirecTV satellite box. After reading many of the product descriptions and, more importantly, customer reviews, I am incredibly disappointed in the offerings. In general terms, the prices seem to be quite high and the shortcomings plenty.

What are you all using for universal remotes for your home media setups?

My harmony remotes are still kicking. Even recently expanded by adding some more Harmony Hubs. Will work with paired remotes or from Harmony app. Who knows for how much longer but it sure is nice having multiple Harmony hubs places in various rooms to be able to control anything with support for Activities. Additionally you can integrate them with HomeBridge. What more could ya want?
