Powerful, Elegant, a Gem – Simple Control Home Remote Review

If you’ve tried to buy or program a truly universal control center for A/V and other devices, you know that it’s expensive, time-consuming, and frequently makes you constantly reliant on systems integrators. I’ve used universal remotes to professional automation controllers and this product rises above everything in my opinion. And the fact that it can use IP control makes it highly reliable compared with IR and RF solutions, although Simple can use those connection techniques as well. The only shortfall I can see for now is the lack of a hardware device with hard buttons, but the advantages of this solution far outweigh that shortcoming. Support is outstanding - responsive and knowledgeable. How often do you see this in a consumer product? It’s easy to see this software core being built into OEM products someday. They have solved many of the difficult issues surrounding integrating many products with dissimilar interfaces and are dedicated to ensuring the product is successfully used by its customers. Version 5 is a significant step up from Version 4, which was a big improvement from the days of Roomie Remote. The team is clearly dedicated to constantly improving their offerings. I’ve never written such a positive review before, but these guys deserve it. I really appreciate what they have accomplished.
