And yet another remote has showed up on kickstarter. This one looks nice as well and also metions Hubitat integration on the kickstarter (maybe at release maybe after).
I still feel like thier minimal approach to buttons is a bit to much and aimed more at hte streaming services so for now my harmony remotes are still the better pick for me.
Ya, its a little more expensive for most but its probably more of a replacement of the Harmony Elite's which were up there in price too. It also looks very feature rich.
Of course you never know until it actually gets released.
I'm excited for this. Built in local control, open API. Good premium looking device. Local, web based config tool. If they deliver on their promises this one ticks all the boxes for me. Just hope they deliver:
My URC MX-980's (and MRF-350 Basestations) are getting pretty long in the tooth - I tried replacing them with the Sofabaton X1's but they still feel like a beta product, and as a result, I have consigned them to the tech drawer of shame!
OT aside - I kickstarter'ed Sofabaton... Shipment never arrived / got marked as return to sender somehow. Contacted them various times, and they never sent me replacements. So I got ripped off in the end. Zero remotes received.
I didn't have the spare cash when these were last available, but the Remote 3 has just been announced - this time I'm going to grab two of them with docks and ask for MoF forgiveness afterwards (our pair URC MX-980's with MRF-350 Base stations are really showing their age now).
I'm hoping they've optimised the Remote 3 for improved mass production to A/ bring the price down and B/ improve availability.
PS, Hubitat support got bumped to the 2025 to-do list.
