RF/WiFi universal remote control

Hi,

I've got a Harmony 890, and it's never been my friend because of the tiresome setup and slow response time. Other friends and family members can't understand how to use it, which defeats the purpose of a universal remote. A few times the volume control has also jammed (going up and no way to stop it), which is never appreciated when our five month old baby has just gone to sleep!

I was wondering if there is another remote out there that can do the following:

- Work without a line of sight to the device it's controlling
- Easy setup and controls, preferably controllable from the computer without cables (WiFi, anyone?!)
- Fast response time (scrolling through the menus of my Virgin Media box or Showcenter is tedious)

I've been looking at the Harmony One, but it seems to be IR only? Not hopeful that what I want is actually on the market, but I decided to ask you gurus about it - if anyone knows about it...

Cheers,

Niclas

Re: RF/WiFi universal remote control

After some digging around I've found a strong contender; OpenPeak Simple Remote. If it's available or not is a mystery. What's your guys take on this bad-boy remote?
