These are great. Integrates with Google Home (and presumably others), and can be programmed with Home Assistant if you're that way inclined.
The hub is super bright IR and will control anything in the room. The mini-blaster can be put in a cupboard and is also very bright so it can control things on different shelves (assuming a gap for IR to get around. Also does RF for controlling things like raspberry pi and ps4.
The remote is nice to have. You could go cheaper and just get the hub, but I would find it annoying to always have to open my phone and use the app. All buttons and the touch screen display are customisable (for example, I made a long-press of the "guide" button open Netflix on my Sony Android TV, whereas a normal short press is regular TV guide).
[UPDATE] (thanks for comments below)
Also $269 at Amazon, so double up with cash rewards for extra discounts!
Could also price match at Officeworks to bring down to $255.55.
Love my Elite - as close as you'll get to the perfect remote IMO.
