Does anyone know of any premum alternative to Harmony for AV automation/control?
A dedicated controller/handset is a must, I don’t want an iPad app to be my only control interface, as is wireless - I‘ve seen crestron and other controllers for the AV in the conference suites at work (which are very slick), but they are all wired
It’s not just with Logitech getting out of the game, I was visiting a friend the other day and I picked up the remote control for his B&O system and it was a beautiful weighty metal jobbie and it just put any other remotes I’ve seen to shame in terms of the feeling of quality, so something with that level of quality and the functionality of a harmony (or better) is what I’m hoping for.
If there was something that could take advantage of IP, RS232 and IR depending on the capabilities of each device, but with a wireless controller, that would be ideal.
