For people still lamenting the demise of the Harmony remotes, I just came across this possible replacement. It seems to be a lot like the 650 and similar. Disclaimer, don't own one and have never used one, just thought it might be useful for people looking for replacements.

I have had this sitting in my cart for a while which looks like a similar idea - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006343650113.html - Just not really sure I need an IR remote anymore since most things seem to work well enough with the supplied remotes.

Both seem interesting, I would want a dock personally. amazon one seems just to use aa(a) batteries not dockable. or usb-c charging would be fine too, cos usb-c i already have everywhere anyway for other devices.

Being able to integrate into home assistant would also be something i'd want, so I can start a scene (whatever they call it) to warm my tv (tcl tv, takes ages to turn on, like 3minutes).

I wonder how well the heatpump thing works, training heatpump IR is a pita I learnt when trying to learn them on a belink mini thingy.

Anyone taken the plunge? anyone have another recommendation?

If you want a real premium remote then this is another I recommend: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marton/unfolded-circle-remote-3

I backed the Remote 2 and it was amazing to hold, had a great interface and just ran its own web server for management. It is a premium product but a whole lot of love has gone into it.
