I'm in the process of a full home renovation of course including an updated home theater and whole house Sonos set up with 5 zones. My installer had initially spec'd a URC MX series remote with base station as we're doing a remote rack in the basement to house the amplifier, cable box, receiver, sonos connects and other pieces of gear. Local to the room I will have the TV and a PS4 which I use as my bluray player as well.
I'm just curious if there are any other suggestions beyond the URC gear that I should be looking at. I know most of the other consumer options such as Harmony or Savant would require some annoying IR Blaster and Home Hub combinations which are not my preference. I'm ok with a Harmony or Savant for the master bedroom upstairs as I only need local IR for that but I'd like to be able to also control the lighting down the road, our nest thermostats and other smart home additions I plan on making down the road.
