One for All Smart Streamer Rmote Model URC 7945

I've had Logitech Harmony remotes for many years, their ability to program every detail of the remote is unmatched, but they discontinued their remotes (didn't someone want to buy their remote business???). My first replacement was an expensive SofaBaton X1, which while very much like Logitech in features and design, always seemed to wig out on various tasks, too late to return, money lost. The One For All Smart Streamer remote is perfect for my needs since I gave up cable tv. I have a Sony Bravia TV and an Apple 4K TV streaming box which I often use with my AirPods at night. The Smart Streamer remote allows me to control the Sony TV settings as needed and otherwise lets me control all Apple TV features. The remote is perfectly designed, with button layout exactly as I like and the buttons are very smooth and responsive. The remote also has the ability to change certain function keys to number keys if you ever need to enter number digits. The remote is incredibly well priced. The setup software for iPhone worked very well, I had no issues connecting to my iPhone nor to my devices. I also like that the shortcut buttons you can program to go directly to services like Netflix DO NOT use the service logos which always looks like gross marketing to me on a remote, I don't use the shortcuts and like that they look generic. I have given this remote five stars for what it is, though I would pay $20-$30 more for this remote if One For All updated it with the following: 1) make the remote rechargeable instead of using two AAA batteries, 2) allow the remote, which already has bluetooth built in for setup purposes, to use the bluetooth module to control devices that support it, such as my Sony TV and my Apple TV (one day I may want to mount my TV on the wall and put the Apple TV behind it which will make using infrared a problem) - One For All does have another remote that appears to have this capability but its a much bigger remote with a dedicated number pad that requires 4 AAA batteries, no thanks, just give me this perfect size remote with usable bluetooth. Not having a bluetooth connection to my Apple TV also means that when I adjust the volume for my AirPods I need to do that with the Apple TV remote app on my iPhone, this isn't a big deal since I always leave the AirPods at the same sound level when watching TV, but it is something to note, and 3) it would be nice if there was some ability to modify what certain buttons on the remote do (for example program an otherwise unused button to perform a specific action like open the control center on my Apple TV), if that feature is there I haven't yet found it yet. Lastly, as others have mentioned, you can't do exotic programming with this remote like you could with a Logitech, I believe that is because One for All is the same company that makes the very expensive Universal Remote remote controls which requires a tech to come program it for you and they are probably protecting their high end market. That is ok! I'm thankful to have an incredibly well designed remote that can handle all that most people need it to. How many people have more than one DVD player? More than one streaming box? More than one stereo receiver or speaker? This is a remote for almost everyone, if you need more at the moment SofaBaton seems like your best answer. All in all a terrific remote which I am enjoying using, one less obstacle to deal with at the end of a long day.

I am a tech person who bought this remote despite the bad reviews thinking that perhaps they are from less tech savvy people but after trying this remote out I don't think that's the case at all and this remote just isn't very good. The remote itself seems okay hardware wise but the app is atrocious with a chatbot only interface, I wasn't able to program it for all of my devices, and so I ended up returning this remote.

This could have been an absolutely amazing remote, but it is hobbled by crappy software and firmware. Pros: - I LOVE the layout, and feel in the hand - Microswitch buttons - I eventually was able to get it configured and working ok. I already had a custom setup controlling my TV, receiver, and devices over a combination of ir blaster and CEC through a linux computer. - I discovered a few independent on/off commands for my components through this remote. I used linux with an ir receiver (mceusb) to observe what keys the remote sends. Cons: - Sometimes the remote hangs or locks up and I need to remove the batteries to get it working again - Batteries last less than 2 months (it takes two AAA). I think it constantly has bluetooth on. - One time it totally forgot two of my activities and would not switch between them properly. I was able to re-add the activities through the app and it worked again - Cannot control input on an A/V receiver (AVR), in other words it assumes you are using eARC to get audio to your AVR - It does try to control the TV HDMI inputs, but has no way to switch to the "live tv" input. - It always periodically blinks a bright blue LED every 30 seconds. Always. (WTF?) - The "My Nevo" app sucks. It takes multiple seconds to do each command in the UI and it is an exercise in frustration and patience. Notes: - When switching activities, it will broadcast the "off" code of the old activity and the "on" code of the new activity (in other words, it sends just the difference between the two activities).

I have a Smart TV with a Bluetooth remote and I purchased this device for the expansive device support and Bluetooth. To setup the remote, you add an app to your mobile device, which programs the remote using a Bluetooth connection. When select your TV option, there is no means to chose the connection, it will use IR as the default. I cannot find any means to use this device with Bluetooth as intended. Seems there may be a Fire TV Bluetooth option but for all else seems like a big nope. Good luck with this half-assed endeavor, the device feels solid and I wan to like it but the software and direct omission of Bluetooth options is junk. Since I have am forced to use IR with this brand, I'll save money and use the lesser remote that doesn't require half-operable bloatware apps to work.

This remote is AWSOME! I love the circle button for going up-down-side to side. Not difficult to set up.

Like other users here, I was optimistic, I'm tech savvy, and ignored negative reviews. This remote is unable to connect to the app after two hours of fiddling with it including contact with customer support. Save yourself some grief.

I got my mother a Smart Pioneer Amazon FireTV edition television for Christmas last year. She is not a fan of all the new smart devices, but I'm trying to get her into it. She grew to like her TV, but she really doesn't like the remote control at all. She really wants a remote that has numbers so she doesn't have to use voice control to change to a station. I have tried around 20 different universal remote controls that all claim they would be compatible with this FireTV Edition television. So far, not 1 of them has really worked with it. This remote came close but still wasn't fully compatible. I first programmed the remote to work with a Pioneer TV. This allowed me to power the TV on, adjust the volume, and use the number pad. The problem is that you can't control anything else. I then programmed this as a FireTV TV. This allowed me to use the remote like a fire TV remote, but the number pad and other buttons did not work. I tried everything, and there is no way to get this universal remote to be totally compatible with the TV. All of the functions work, but I can only get a few functions to work at one time. I had high hopes for this Universal Remote because the description reads that it works with all TVs and supports all BLE controlled FireTVs. This would have been the perfect remote if I could have it control everything. I like that it's back-lit so you can see the numbers in the dark. The remote feels well made. The buttons feel good, unlike a lot of the cheaper universal remotes on here. The app downloaded quickly and was very easy to use. Programming the remote is very simple if you are into newer technology. It just can't be programmed to work as a Pioneer and FireTV at the same time. Someone like my mother would probably have a hard time programming this. They should change the description on this device where it says works with all TVs and all BLE FireTVs. I think for Mothers Day, I'll get her a new TV and give up on my search for a remote that with a number pad that would be fully compatible with this TV. I will never buy a TV that comes with a FireTV remote again.

Everything works as described, however it does not have a Page Up/Down button. Usually this is done with the Channel button. Also it could use a Bluetooth connection. Not ready for prime time.
