Not worth the price
I really wanted to like this remote. I have used Harmony remotes for years but wanted to try something new. The quality of the remote is great and the display is amazing. I have spent a few hours on the phone with Savant tech support. First, my Denon AVR-X2300W receiver isn't in their database, so I have to choose a generic Denon. Second, I can't toggle between inputs using the Savant remote. Third, they don't support Zone 2 at this point. I can’t even use my Bluetooth feature from my receiver with this Savant. It’s too basic and not designed for “Power Users.” Everyone in their tech support department is very friendly and I think I have worked with just about everyone there. Their equivalent of Harmony's Activities is Scenes, which isn't great. On top of paying $500 for the Savant Remote + Host, I had to pay an additional $70 for another blaster. Savant explained that you basically need one blaster per shelf. DEAL BREAKER!!! I have been using this remote side by side with the Harmony remote which is $349 and I don't have to purchase anything additional. Also, remember Best Buy has a $100 trade in program for old Harmony remotes. I think I have no choice at this point but to return the Savant. It would also be nice if Savant had an online compatibility list to see what they support. Savant also told me that my receiver isn't in their database. It sure would be nice to be able to go online and see when it is added. Savant, you all need to put my effort into this remote if you expect it to sell without “BUYER REMORSE.”

Amazing
Seems like there are some issues depending on what your entertainment setup is like but for our house the remote has been awesome. Completely transformed the way we use all of our devices. We have Sonos and a new Sony Bravia smart tv. We also have an older apple tv and philips dvd player. Setup for us was less than 15 minutes. So, it was strange to see the reviews but seems like they are having problems with certain brands. It was super easy for me and I do not have a lot of patience. I had bought a Harmony about six months ago and returned it because it was annoying to setup and it was cheap feeling. Overall, it's been really great. My kids use it, my wife uses.. My father in-law comes over to watch the kids and he totally digs it. I set up a profile just for him which has the 4 cable channels he loves (CNN, ESPN, Weather Channel, PBS - hysterical) For me personally I like the Scenes you can make. We are always rushing out the door for soccer or baseball. I created a goodbye scene that I use from the app. I use that scene everyday. We also bought a couple of the lighting plugs. I love the lighting aspect. I hope they work with Hue or one of those other smart bulbs soon. I will definitely buy those and add to our home. We also have a Nest thermostat, so I am hoping that will connect at some point. One other thing - their emails are awesome. Really helpful tips. I hope they fix some of the issues people are having problems with because I love this remote and the app. Maybe someday I will be able to get one of their Savant Pro systems.

Did not support Fire stick
Although the product claimed hundreds of thousands of products it could support, it did not support my favorite streaming device the Amazon Fire stick. If you don't care about that it was very good but pricy.
