Dont like that I cannot customize remote – Simple Control Home Remote Review

Long time user. I love the idea of this app. I have used it for several years to integrate 13 rooms of audio and video all hub-bed out of a central media closet. Nobody comes close to what these guys do for ease of use and control. You would pay thousands of dollars for this control elsewhere. In addition I can interface with 2 components and a lighting control system that use an html database with Simple Control and rs232. Although that took some significant effort at my limited tech understanding. This new design is OK. But I cant customize the new style remote screens. Or maybe I can but don't know how? I would at least like to remove the buttons i don't use. And get better access to the volume commands. Which is a 2 step process currently on my yamaha receiver. This new system does solve a bigger problem. It allows you to set up a dedicated apple tv as a central controller. So rather than multiple devices controlling multiple devices. One hub is configured to control equipment. And the multiple user devices are simultaneously fed back status information. So if I turn up the volume on zone 3 and change sources on a receiver. All the other devices are updated to reflect that status. This also fixes some quirky equipment that couldn't connect easily to multiple devices. Such as my Yamaha multi zone receiver. Weather you have a simple setup or something massively complex. This will work for you. A couple of tweaks i mentioned will improve it. Put all those stupid remotes away and move up to this now. Its some work to get a complex system working. But worth its weight in gold.
