Btw that one product has achieve over 150% of its funding goal while everyone was complaining. Lol

yea their multi-device-remote HUIS still has 49 days to go but 318 of 1600 maximum (maybe they'll increase that amount if demand stays strong) have already been sold/preordered meaning it's certainly going into production

That remote is cool, I hope they bring this program to the west soon.

it's a bit expensive

I think the idea is nice, but I wonder if the same functionality would've been achievable with any smartphone/tablet with a IR blaster (my tablet has one) and an app..

well, with it's e-paper display it surely has waaay better battery life than regular smart devices and maybe it needs some special sensor/IR diode to "scan" and reproduce other devices signals (atleast it looks like it works that way in the video, maybe it's just presets .. my tablet has presets with a samsung remote app and it doesn't work well)
