RF Universal Remotes
Logitech Harmony Elite w/Hub here. It runs all my gear, the Lutron Caseta lighting, and Hunter Douglas PowerView Shades.
Unless you are looking for deep integration it works great. By deep integration I mean one touch events like placing the source in pause raises the lights to 30%. That is now a 2 step process because the home automation functions like shades and lights can’t be combined with simple device control actions. At least I haven’t figured out how to do it yet.
Lots of flexibility in power on and power off sequences, including lights, shades, etc. So for example when I start the gear for a movie, all the blinds go down and the lights turn on at 50%.
There is a huge library of devices to choose from, although the McIntosh list is a little thin in spots but still very workable. If your device isn’t listed you can always learn its codes, a little tedious but easy to do.
I have an MX 151, C 1100 and the HT passthru works perfectly. I have several activities programmed;
Listen to Vinyl
Listen to Tidal
Watch a Movie
Watch TV
Watch Roku
Highly recommended.
