I'm a programmer by trade. I found that out of the box it could control most of my devices. Currently you will have to take time and patience to get the kinks worked out. I have found that those kinks are VERY worth it. My remote is 90% done. I still have some playing to do, but right now I can do 90% and 100% of what I do activly is setup.

The nice thing is that with smart states, once set up make programming everything much more streamlined.
