Logitech has discontinued its Harmony universal TV remotes

Logitech has discontinued its Harmony range of universal remotes. No new products will be produced, and once existing inventory is gone, it's gone. The brand says it will continue to support existing products as long as customers are using them, but to what degree will be interesting to see.

SO, not really a long term solution.

But, I agree that they work well, I have two model 700.
I am exploring the Sofabaton U1 as a replacement.

The One for All Smart Remote
Stay away from the remotes, unless you want(ed) to chase the upgrade monster. Harmony HUB. It is supported by Alexa and Google, does all the same as the old remotes, except it's all voice-activated.

"Alexa watch Netflix" at my house turns on the tv and sets its correct input HDMI, turns on the A/V receiver, and sets it input from the optical input audio 5.1 from the ROKU, turns on the ROKU box, and selects Netflix.

And yep, and IMHO never buy a TV because you like its apps, they change, software updates are constant and sometimes they no longer support your favorite app. External boxes like RUKO, Western Digital, ect,,, can move them and toss them when they get dated while leaving the TV alone.
