Quality video/ is not lost plugging in this device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Turned 3-4 remotes into one. I was worried there would be some video loss. But everything is looking good on all devices plugged into the Caavo. Sound quality is also not lost either. My Polk soundbar was not compatible with the Caavo but it has some sensors that came with the Caavo that let me point at the soundbar and use. Seems the set is updating and being tweaked constantly. Which makes me feel that feedback to them would be heard. Small and seamless with my small system of gadgets.

The Marriage Savior
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.That’s what they should call Caavo, The Marriage Savior. It’s awesome, got it on preorder, fast shipping from Best Buy. Setup takes some time and effort but don’t let it deter you, it’s worth it. Caavo puts the Harmony hub and remote I was using up until now to shame. Just like they say, you plug in your home theater device including streamers, video game systems, cable boxes, etc. and Caavo reads and pulls information off of them. I’ve got my Apple TV, PS4, and Eco Dot synced up. In comparison to the Harmony I was using Caavo is faster, easier to setup, doesn’t require you to switch components, works every time you use it, and truly is a universal option due its ability to search across anything you have plugged into it and any app you are signed into. It’s nuts. In regards to The Marriage Savior, I knew I had a winner after I had set it up and told my wife to “Tell the Caavo remote what you want to watch.” She looked at me like I was insane, picked up the remote and said, “Watch Harry Potter” and boom, results from HBO Now, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, DirecTV, our free trial of Play Station Vue, and YouTube showed up. She was shocked. I couldn’t be happier. The logical response here was, “Now who’s insane?” But of course I want to stay married so I just smiled and thanked the Caavo gods for creating The Marriage Savior. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who owns a TV. You really can’t go wrong for the price. The time it saves is worth it.

Top notch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have Nvida Shield, FireTv, Roku, & AppleTv streaming devices. Caavo manages them all with finesse and ease. Caavo is responsive. Using voice search is A+. It converts my speech correctly. The remote is simple and easy to navigate no matter the streaming device. I no longer need any of the remotes for my streaming devices. Caavo is very useful as a component of my home theatre setup. I have great picture quality and sound but I think, I don't understand why, the pic and audio is slightly enhanced for all streaming devices. Because Caavo has 4 hdmi inputs, it has freed up 4 hdmi connections on my home theatre receiver. I have Logitech Harmony Elite Remote which is good. Caavo is easier to setup and using it requires fewer steps. Caavo is an excellent, excellent, product. I'm very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend.

Posted .Thank you very much. Your streaming devices are intelligent devices that communicate well and thus control center can interact with them seamlessly for the best possible experience. As you likely realized during setup, control center actually communicates with devices rather than stringing together programmed codes/macros. This is why we can deeplink into many of the apps on these devices for voice searching and launching content. Thanks for being a fan!

Converted this skeptic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was highly skeptical of the product when I first saw what it claimed to do. Our house struggles with using multiple remotes so I thought I give it a chance, fully expecting that I would probably return it. I did have to reach out to a support person via online chat (which was very convenient) to get my new Fire TV4k setup, but other than that, it was somewhat easy for a technically inclined person. It's been setup for about 10 days now and I'm happy to say it proved me wrong and delivers on what it claims to do. I've put away the other remotes and it feels great! My Caavo setup: LG Oled TV, Amazon Fire Stick 4k, Xbox One, Dish Network & Apple TV. Also have an LG Soundbar directly plugged in via optical cable into the tv and the Caavo remote controls the volume just fine.

Excellent product with room for improvement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We needed a HDMI switch and were thinking of purchasing one of those inexpensive americhinese ones, but were doubtful of their quality. Enter Caavo. For 60$ this is a great buy, and if you (like in our case) have a 30$ BB giftcard laying around doing nothing, well then... that makes Caavo a must, no brainer buy. We're not particularly interested in Caavo's voice search across platforms and deep linking capabilities, but are currently running a 45 day free trial of the service just to see how it works. Aaaaand... it works. For now. HDMI switching is our main focus, and when it comes to switching between inputs, Caavo does not disappoint. It's fast, it does what it claims it does, build quality is decent and most importantly, for 60 (or less) $ it is quite inexpensive. The remote control has a sensor and it activates upon detecting a movement (this will help with battery life, I presume) and some of the buttons are capacitive, which is a nice feature. Also, you can use the remote to control devices connected to Caavo. In our case, a Roku stick and Xbox One S. Watching Netflix on Roku, but want to switch to Xbox One S and check your messages? No problem. Switch the input and use the same remote to navigate Xbox's GUI/menu. Brilliant! The only con when it comes to the remote control is the fact that the buttons are not backlit, but I guess the capacitive feature is there to help you with finding the right button in a darkened room. If there are any other cons it would be the fact that the box and the remote are made out of shiny, glossy plastic which makes them both fingerprint and dust magnets. It's mind boggling why manufacturers keep using glossy plastic on their products, when it always and without exception makes the product a fingerprint and dust turbo-mega magnet. Also, wish there were some customization options (for instance, replacing the default icons/symbols for inputs) or some GUI skins, but those are some minor complaints. We've also noticed that the right top of the device gets a bit warm(ish), just above HDMI1 and HDMI2 ports, but I guess that's to be expected. Hopefully it does not affect the device's performance. All in all, we highly recommend this device. Especially it it's on sale. You won't regret it.

Best HDMI Switch + more!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for 19.99 and its my purchase of the year so far as far as how satisfied I am with it. I had a clunky logitech harmony hub and a logitech 700 with an HDMI switch that worked on IR so it could be controller with the harmony remote/hub I had working with my Amazon Alexa....sometimes...then along came Cavvo. I bought the caavo and I am not looking back. This thing works flawlessly. Upon hookup the caavo reads the devices connected to it via HDMI and sets them up to work automatically, a few steps may be need on the devices themselves (PS4, TV power settings) but its all explained during setup. I have a TCL Roku TV and the Caavo essentially replaces the home screen of the Roku TV and makes almost everything accessible right from the Caavo UI. I have replaced my Alexa's with Nest speakers and voice commands work great. Im sure they would work the same with the amazon products as well. On to the remote.... The remote is basic and that is the beauty of it...depending on the device you are using the buttons on the caavo adjust to that....it works and works well. There is a subscription service that gives you a deep dive search feature with apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, your personal Plex server....not useful to some but for those with large digital libraries and a lot of subscription video services it comes in handy. I got it for 1.99 a month by contacting Caavo support which is the price listed on the box I got however the service is now 3.99 I believe.

Impressive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using the harmony before Caavo and setting up harmony to work with devices was not easy but this with this Caavo, you don’t have to do anything just plug your devices to the Caavo HDMI ports and that’s and plug in Caavo to your TVs HDMI port and that’s it. Caavo will program everything for you. But bad thing is they charge you to use the voice search and for some other functions it’s 1.99/Month or 59.99 for life time. But after 45 day trial if you don’t want to use the voice search just cancel the subscription plan and you still be able to use it as a universal remote but just without the voice control and a suggestion list from Caavo. Just think of it as a 4 port HDMI auto switch box with universal remote built in, totally worth it.

Absolute must have for the multi-device home theat
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this up after some review watching on YouTube and rigorous internet scouring. I was a bit tentative at some of the reviews out there. Most talk of a complex setup process and are unclear on exactly how this functions. I'm not sure what device they are reviewing, this thing is fantastic. The setup does take some time, but is not complex in any way and the time it does take is well spent as a behind the scenes tutorial that has you comfortable with the operation immediately upon completion. I have been a harmony fan for years and I have the Ultimate with the Hub in my main theater setup. Since installing the Caavo, I have not touched the Harmony. Gone are the many macros, actions and device menus, the Caavo gets all of the functionality you need with a simple button press. There is also a separate button for AVR power which is an excellent feature as I live in AZ and leaving my Onkyo powered all day would literally turn my family room into an oven. The ability to quickly power ig on and off and immediately have the correct volume control on the Caavo remote is a welcome function. Finally, as a previous reviewer has stated, my wife can watch whatever she wants and my kids can switch to their PS4 without a hitch. No more workday texts for troubleshooting pr logging in to my home security cameras to see what options she's pushing on the TV (yes, this actually happened.) If you have multiple devices like most of us do nowadays (roku, Shield TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Whatever TV,) you would be well served picking one of these up.

This is the real thing! Buy it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used the Harmony remotes for years with mixed results, but this is the real deal. Why? Because it works every time. I have a Samsung TV, Sony soundbar, Xfinity box, Apple TV, FireTV and Blueray DVD. You just connect them all via HDMI to the Caavo, connect the Caavo out to the TV HDMI and life is so good. You can control every device automatically from the Caavo remote. Comes with detailed instructions for various setups. Best of all, you can get a low cost subscription that pushes content suggestions to you and recognizes the saved program queue in Xfinity. I got it on sale, but even at full price, it rocks. Oh, and best of all, my wife can now navigate to programs on all the connected sources. Before Caavo, she was lost. It has a voice option, too. So why are you still sitting there! Go buy it!

Fantastic!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is very easy to install and operate. It makes changing from Apple TV, DVD to TV a breeze. You can control all devices with only 1 remote, no need to have multiple remotes. There customer tech support is also great. I needed some clarification on setup so I did a chat with tech support and then followed by a phone call. Wonderful service. I have had other hdmi switcher but this one is the best.

One remote to control them all
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the solution to having multiple remotes lying all over your house. Setup is super easy - plug in your devices and the Caavo detects them and sets itself up. Using it is also super easy. One simple remote turns on the tv and whatever devices you need to use. Changing devices could not be simpler. I was so impressed I bought four of these and installed on all my TVs. Now the old remotes live in a drawer. Highly recommended.

Best Universal Remote with a few caveats
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Caavo is quite possibly the best universal remote with 4 HDMI ports seamlessly controlling any device and being able to switch between inputs using voice is a boon. It can only do 4K HDR though and not Dolby Vision which is a bummer. And the voice + search features only work as a paid subscription model which is disappointing since its an additional cost. Other than that, the remote and the ease of setup and controls make this better than the Logitech Harmony.

Extraordinary Control center for Video/Audio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device does it ALL. I will control up to 4 HDMI connected devices and a sound bar/AV unit. It is able to learn the commands for Tivo, FireTV, Roku, DVD players and allows you to get rid of all the extra remotes you have been using. Has voice control as well. Plus, their Customer Service people are some of the best I have ever encountered. They are responsive to all the questions I have had, and their suggestions and tips have allowed my unit to connect with a Sceptre TV which is not even on their supported devices. All in all it was one of the best Audio/Video purchases I have made and I could recommend this with NO reservations. Way better than universal remotes! They also seem to be upgrading their software/firmware regularly with great new features. Get one and see how much easier controlling multiple devices can really be.

Great replacement for my Harmony remotes
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I now have two Caavo's in the house, one purchased from Caavo, and another from Best Buy. I was getting frustrated with how quickly the batteries dies in my Harmony remote, and the issues that often came up when swapping devices and turning on all the devices. The Caavo accepts all of the HDMI input cables (up to 4) from different devices, and then will swap between the inputs. It also reads the device plugged in to figure out what sort of streaming/online services are available. For example, when I plug in my TiVo it notices the signal is from a TiVo and gives me an option to use Hulu via the TiVo if I have that service. Right now I have my TiVo, Roku, and Amazon Fire Stick plugged in, and can choose which one to use when searching for music or videos. Caavo is excellent at knowing what is available when I search for movies. It's a little unclear on the packaging, but you can't use the Caavo by itself to connect to streaming services. You need some device plugged in which supports that service, like a Roku, Fire TV Stick, etc. I have not had any problems with the correct input being selected, nor in turning on or off my stereo and TV. I have found that it uses the HDMI to send signals like volume up/down and on/off, and will then use IR if the device doesn't support HDMI control. In reality this means my receiver, which is over 10 years old and doesn't support HDMI controls, is pretty slow to turn the volume up and down. In general, I love the Caavo. I've gotten pretty regular software updates which keep adding new features, like viewing what's available on other TV's (streaming from one TV to another isn't supported). I definitely recommend buying the lifetime service, instead of paying year to year. I'd buy more if I had more TVs, and it's completely replaced my Harmony remotes.

It controls the Samsung TV and sound bar, a Panasonic BluRay player, AppleTV, a FireStick4K, and our MediaSonic Homeworxx OTA DVR - seamlessly - from one remote. Caavo support is also top notch.

Caavo Control Center is legit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this Caavo control center! It's more than a universal remote. Being able to control 4 of your devices is a great convenience. It supports 4k and HDR unlike the original Caavo. The remote has a voice feature so just tell it what you want to watch and it will give you your options. Voice command is also possible with Google home or Alexa. It's just so cool to turn your tv on with your voice. Only downside is setup was a pain with the apple4ktv because Caavo doesn't support Dolby vision yet. There is also a $2 monthly charge to use this device.

Quick and easy Harmony-killer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked it up today for 40% off usual price and it was installed, updated, configured and in use inside of 20 minutes. Unbelievable. One simple user-friendly remote controls everything with some extra super useful bonus features. Alexa support is good, just wish I didn't have to invoke with "Ask Caavo...". Search function and built-in voice search works great. Needs more app support, and deeper integration with DirecTV Now. But for 60 bucks, this has totally replaced my Harmony Ultimate/Hub and improved and simplified the TV watching experience for everyone. Best deal going right now.

WOW! Throw out your universal remote...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WOW! The Caavo Control Center is such an awesome piece of tech! I've always wanted to find something to replace the multiple remotes I use daily. Thought about a universal remote, something premium, but couldn't really justify the price point. And the setup, my brother told me, is a pain. May not be with all universal remotes, but what I had consider would have been. I found out about Caavo from a YouTuber I subscribe too. When I found out what Caavo could do, I was sold! My favorite part during the setup was how Caavo knew exactly what I had plugged in to the HDMI port. It detected My Roku Ultra, Nvidia Shield TV and Nintendo Switch, name and little icons to go along. I'm very happy with Caavo, and their customer support team!
