One For All Universal Remote Control REVIEW - Programmable, Trainable, Backlit Remote Control

Finally got this remote able to control the Spectrum Xumo Stream Box kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJfch52Fgp6HgK8

Would it control the Apple TV Spectrum app? Could the ch. up and down learn that from the Spectrum Remote for Apple TV. Could it replace the Zumo remote and use the number pad for the Spectrum app on Xumo?

That was my goal at the beginning but it falls short. First, technically the One For All remote does control the Spectrum App on the Apple TV which sounds good until…there are no channel numbers in the spectrum app on Apple TV(!). It’s frustrating to say the least. So also to answer your middle question, i bought the One For All hoping to replace the Xumo remote on the Xumo box but I can’t get it to learn from the Xumo remote - specifically I think Xumo remote has no infrared on its remote because I couldn’t get the One For All remote to learn it. Guessing that the Xumo is Bluetooth only. I was able to use several other infrared remotes to train the One For All remote but was not successful with Xumo remote.

@archidube I found out a different configuration will work for what you were asking but its not on Apple TV, its on the xumo box (because that's the interface where channel numbers are accepted by a remote control). Here is the video on setting up the OneForAll universal remote control on xumo box for what its worth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJfch52Fgp6HgK8

How is battery life? Some remotes drain without using them.

It goes through the batteries cycle more frequently than the other Bluetooth + IR remotes I use (ex. Xumo, Apple TV). But it’s not horrible, just annoying.

Hey I just connected this to my Samsung, and noticed that the menu button isn’t responding. Any tips ?

From their website it says you can use it across TV, Set Top Box, DVD/Blu-ray, Audio, Soundbar, Game console and Streaming devices such as Apple TV and Fire TV sticks. However, if you have Google Home assistant, it does say it does voice control for Android/Google TV, so if you can get to the Google TV you could probably leapfrog commands into the Google TV for the Google home assistant. I do this today with my Apple TV, I use the voice control on my Apple TV remote to tell it to turn on the Dyson fan and turn on the lights, and it relays it over to Apple Home and does what I asked.
