Will this Switchbot Universal Remote Control Replace the Logitec Harmony?

I see, I am now the only one not being able to use the remote from Home Assistant. Glad to hear it, eager to fully use it! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for your feedback:) yes the hardware platform is great and I eagerly await the matter / home assistant update

Until now, it can't replace the harmony. Switchbot doesn't get the point of the harmony idea. We need scenes with completely free configurable remote Profile. For example, volume will control the avr Receiver while Ch-up and Ch-down will send the specific IR Signal to the TV, within the same Remote Profile. Also, when switching between scenes that include different Hardware, like cinema Mode that makes use of a projector, the logic doesn't know to switch that projector off and roll up the projector screen when switching back to TV Mode... I have the remote here but nothing yet available will solve that problems. Lets hope for some good Updates though...

@@vierpunktzwo yes the harmony is a great product! I think it is possible but will rely on software work, we can only wait and watch.

Hey Simon are you going to be getting anymore remotes in I was wondering if you would do a comparison between the different remotes and show how they integrate and work with Home assistant

[@simonsayshomeassistant]

That is a great idea, which other ones would you recommend?

Will this control the Sonos Ray? Thanks
