What Universal Remote Control Do You Use?

[Projectman]

I’m using the Logitech Harmony Elite, but wonder if there is something better for audio.

Thoughts?

I have a Harmony One for the main system (which is an integrated AV system). Most of the time the system gets used for music and with the exception when I have someone over that has a disc (which is a few times a year), I use file playback. So the preamp stays on the same input and and I just have a cheap universal for volume control and an App on the iPad mini to select the music.

I've been using the iRule program for my remote on iPads and iPhone. Unfortunately, they are closing it down soon so I have to find an alternative.

I use a Harmony with our TV, BluRay, Cable Box, and Yamaha receiver. With Audio system the ARC remote works just fine ...

I too use a Harmony universal remote, an older model...the 550.

4 Harmony's (don't know the model) for 4 different systems. They are disposable and keep my originals like new. I don't care if I damage the Harmony, for $50 it is hard to beat and it connects easy to everything I have tried on it.

Harmony Elite here. I'm always surprised at how many relatively esoteric audio brands and components they have in the database already, and that the "one button to turn on half a dozen things and set inputs" really works.

I added an inexpensive Y-splitter to one of the IR repeater outputs and bought an extra repeater so I can have 3 repeaters running (one for each column of gear in my rack). Works seamlessly

Harmony 1100. Loved that they had VAC in thier online programming database.

Anyone using an ip based remote control/app like iRule?
