Hello everyone, I've been in search for an all-in-one remote control to CONTROL MY TV/Sat Box/AVR/Android Box/AC/Chromebox for months now but unfortunately haven't found the perfect/best one out there yet so I know I won't find such a thing. So time to pick one can't keep waiting.
From all the research I've done I came up with a list of best candidates apart of the Logitech Harmony remotes which I've read a lot of complains about their quality. Apparently the "cheaper" models break easily so you are better off buying their luxury Harmony One or Harmony 900 which I'm not willing to pay $300+ for one of those ITS RIDICULOUS (I would rather buy a high end smartphone with IR support and use an app to control all of my devices but that's NOT the idea).
I need it to control most if not all of my devices including the Chromebox (with the proper IR receiver or FLIRC?) and I need it TO LAST.
I own a Logitech k400 keyboard+mouse pad that I'll also be using with the chromebox for the OS and Kodi when needed.
Here's the list and below are my questions:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishl...av_lists_3
1. IS ANYONE USING inteset 4-in1 or URC R50 UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL WITH CHROMEBOX? I'm more Interested in those 2 models
1.1. How does it work? Can it suspend the box?
1.2. What IR receiver are you using (Inteset for example also has its own external Infrared receiver).
1.3. Is there another 'non harmony' remote with similar specs that I missed? Please no wand company!
2. Will they work with Wetek core? All buttons? I read Wetek core RCU is RF/IR but not sure if all buttons are RF and IR or if some are IR and other RF.
