Sean O Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Can the NEEO be used as a standalone remote. I don’t have a C4 system just looking for a great remote to combine the 5 remotes I am using at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a C4 system just looking for a great remote to combine the 5 remotes I am using at the moment. To clarify, the original NEEO remote was a Kickstarter project, and was intended as a standalone remote, which came with it's own hub. Unfortunately, support for the original NEEO remote was limited to 2 years from when Control4 bought the company, so there's really no ongoing support for this configuration. The Control4 Neeo remote uses very similar hardware, but was not designed or intended to use as a standalone remote, and will not work as such.

Cyknight Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Also note that you CAN setup a simple 1 room a/v system with a Neeo plus an EA-1, Control4 isnt 'just' for full home systems RyanE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean O Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 So I’m basically looking just for an amazing all in one remote. I want to include my LG OLED, Play Station, Nintendo Switch, Sony HTS5000 sound bar, Apple TV. and possibly some other items like lights and Nest thermostat. I don’t mind buying the NEEO and an EA-1 Package if it’s going to give me a great experience and clean up my clutter Of having 4-5 remotes on my table. It’s driving me crazy. Can you really put all the above remotes into one product and have it work smoothly. I tried the Harmony Elite and felt like it was not that great of a product.. With the Apple TV remote will I have the touch pad ability on the NEEO’s touch screen? I just love the ability to be able to hit one task and it will turn on the. Apple TV, sound bar, and OLED. Thanks for all the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean O Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 What does an EA-1 and NEEO cost along with setup roughly? I’ve sent 2 online emails 5 days ago to local dealers in MA/NH and haven’t heard a word from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topspin14m Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Get a universal remote (the brand). Really great and will do it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Jet Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Only if his entry to automation ends with an AV remote. At least with the Control4 setup he has a solid foundation to build from. I don’t mind URC at all... but I prefer Control4 10-1 for automation. Depending upon his usecase for AV, I can think of more reasons to do C4 even as a stand-alone AV system if he never takes it beyond. Roku comes to mind. We sell both. In fact more URC because of our high end audio niche. South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topspin14m Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It’s true. Control4 has significantly more potential functionality, but it’s $600 (EA1) + $600 (remote) versus URC which is ~$300. Need to pay for programming for either so that’s a wash. So really depends on how much more OP plans beyond just a remote. Sean O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
