Universal Remote - IR and Bluetooth

[Juzzie Wuzzie]

Has anyone discovered a candy-bar remote control that incorporates the ability to control units via IR and Bluetooth? For instance, to control a "classic" amplifier and a streamer that would use a Bluetooth remote? Alternatively, to control a television and a Firestick (noting that is achievable via HDMI-CEC control)?

Thanks in advance.

I have a Logitech Harmony remote that can do that.

Have a quick glance at Amazon.
You can set the filter to only show Bluetooth or Infrared remotes.
All various from relatively cheap to darned expensive!

SofaBaton looks to be the way to go. Logitech / Harmony no longer in produdction.

Universal remotes are pretty limited these days (Everyone uses an app instead) since Logitech left the market.
Does your phone have a infrared sender built in, as if so you can get an app to use it as a IR remote.

I did wonder why I couldn't find many Logitech remotes.
Now I know.
Still.. I love mine 🙂

Don't think I want to use a phone. Had two Logitech remotes (550 and 650) but they are no longer fit for purpose.

I'm trying to get a single remote to handle:

1. Firestick (BT) into Samsung TV (IR) with Sonos (HDMI-CEC controlled) for television
2. WiiM (BT) into PrimaLuna (IR) for music

In a perfect world, it would also handle:

3. Firestick (BT) into Epson Projector (IR) with Sonos (HDMI-CEC controlled) for movies

Pronto was the best ever made - unless you required BT, naturally. The integration into smart TVs of Amazon etc sidesteps that for me, mercifully.
