SEVENHUGS SMART REMOTE

If you’ve never pointed a normal remote at a universal remote and ‘taught’ it IR codes button by button, then you’ve got no right showing your face round here. Those of you still reading, good news: this smart remote needs a LOT of setting up. It uses wall-mounted spatial sensors to identify where you’re pointing and changes its touchscreen display to suit. Once it’s set up – Sonos speakers, Hue lightbulbs, Apple TV, Playstation 4 etc – you’ll feel like a master of the dark arts, waving your wand and making change happen. But really it’s the programming part we’re looking forward to. from US$229 / remote.sevenhugs.com
