Cheaper than Crestron - and it’s Wi-Fi instead of having to buy a gateway. I’m not sure if that’s still how Crestron remotes connect but it added a good chunk of change for an updated remote Plus dealer programming and setup.
Personally, I have a lot more things I would like to do where 3 shortcut buttons just aren’t enough so I will likely give the touchscreen a try. Things like shades, scenes, lighting, all off/goodnight commands, outdoor screens and a few others. I have a lot of lights and scenes I could see using the Halo Touch for so I wouldn’t have to scroll through the non-touch screen for certain things I do often. I like the idea of the touchscreen but the Neeo wasn’t quite the remote I liked to use for its obvious failings - limited hard buttons, no backlight, etc. so I didn’t have it nearby or use it often.
We also switched from DIRECTV to YouTube TV so we don’t need the hard buttons any longer.
I may just get one to try in my most used room and possibly add another if I like it.
Another question if anyone knows the answer - will these be user setup like the Neeos or do you need a dealer to actually program anything? It looks like the C4 screen and favorites would have to be set up for this if I’m reading correctly but I would want that anyway to get the most out of the remote.
Thanks!
