Best thing since sliced bread.
I have a fairly complex setup and even my wife can use it

They make one at every price point. They work by function, not by device. No learning either. You just setup something like. Watch Netflix. Turns on TV, selects input, Turns on Receiver, selects its input, Dims the lights (it talks to my SmartThings home automation) and ready to go. It doesn’t make popcorn yet though, damn it.

Saves a lot trouble with remote control challenged folks in the house hold. I won’t mention the sex or age of those challenged with such things They just want it to work.
I am a long time user of Harmony remotes to control my sound system and TV replacing the IR stock remotes. Reading your post, I was thinking of moving up to a model that had Bluetooth and well as IR. And then I read the note by thebix. Too bad as Harmony was a good product line.
