My wife was like, "Whatever!"
I do this for a living, so my projects don't always get as much priority as my paying customers' projects, but this product added the final touches to completely hiding our media components. This remote system controls my TV, which is hung above our fireplace with care, and it controls our stereo receiver, Over-The-Air ChannelMaster DVR, & Fire TV Stick, which are all enclosed in our media closet. I ordered this Harmony Smart Control Remote, not taking into consideration that the Fire TV Stick remote used Bluetooth versus radio frequency or super-traditional iR (infrared) technology. I was pooping, only because I could hear my wife's voice saying, "that was kinda ridiculous..". I quickly looked-up the specifications, and was relieved to see that the Harmony included Bluetooth technology, which allows me to control everything!!! :) When I received it, I set it up in minutes. I had to situate the included additional iR blaster outside the media closet to point at the TV, but that didn't take too long. All I have left is to cleanup the wires in the closet. I'm super-surprised how well the iR blasters work. I've installed countless iR repeaters, and they typically need to be aimed just right to the iR receivers on your components. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a clean installation with hidden components. Look at specifications for a complete list of compatible devices.

Love It
I love the hub much more for voice control my home entertainment. The hub work with almost all IR and bluetooth stuff. I think the setup process is easy enough. Logitech already upgrade it directly work with Amazon Echo. For Google Home, I can still use IFTTT to turn on my LG TV, Acer projector, Shield TV, Apple TV and Xbox 360, even control the Hue lights. For me, the one that I cannot turn on is PS4, but I think it is because Sony did not allow others to connect it via bluetooth as you still cannot use a bluetooth headphone to play PS4 in 2016. Shame on Sony!

Great Product
This is a great addition to my room. I now only use 1 remote instead of 3. The only issue I find is that it does not have a backlit feature that was in the product specification. All in all this is a great remote and I would recommend it.

Great with Harmony Ultimate One
I already had an Ultimate One remote before this purchase. The Ultimate One was mediocre by itself. I paired it with the hub from this package and it's soooooo much better to use. I can make changes to my setup from the Harmony app instead of connecting my remote to my laptop via micro USB cable. You can also use Google Home and Google Assistant to trigger commands. I put my hub on a shelf so nothing would get in the way of the IR blaster. I would definitely recommend pairing the hub with a Harmony Elite or Ultimate One. The experience is just better overall.
