The sidekick has 8 buttons that can be programmed individually. The buttons on the sideckick are power, volume +/-, arrow up/down, change input, A, B and you would traditionally program all these buttons to control 1 additional device to the roku. However, you could program these buttons to several different devices since it is a learning remote. IE - you could use power to turn on the tv, A to turn on the comcast box, B to turn on the receiver with the volume going to the receiver, the input change to the tv, and the arrows to the comcast box. You may not be able to get all of your devices in a way that makes sense, but you can program each button individually. As for the PS3/PS4, if you have an IR remote for the PS3/PS4 you can program the sidekick for it, but you would need that to do it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The sideclick requires that you have the original remote for the device you are hoping to control. When in program mode, you put the two remotes with the IR transmitter facing each other. You hold down the sideclick button you want to use and then press the button on the original remote that you want to mimic. I would think this would work on any and all IR based remotes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Anything that uses a traditional IR remote can be used to copy functions over to this device (I have it to turn off/on my TV and Soundbar for example) So yes, you could use it for everything but your PS3/4 as those use Bluetooth to function. There's no "profile" setting though so I don't know how much more function you are looking for it to control for so many devices....
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think it will work for more than 3 components. It works on our Roku, LG 65" 4K TV, and our Sonos Sound Bar but not the UVerse box. That being said, the UVerse is only around for the unlimited data. We don't use it. So, far it works for our needs
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, this won't work as a universal remote as you're intending. I was hoping for the same and was pretty disappointed. Best Buy does sell one that you might want to check out...I believe it's made by RCA.
