Really?
I've never programmed a URC remote that didn't have labeling on the hard buttons that did anything other than they should.
For the basic users, this IS the norm, and it IS in a way, a control system of sorts.
Every URC remote I've ever programmed works as good, if not better, than the DirecTV, or TimeWarner/Spectrum remote. It's really not all that hard.
I do agree with Fins on the death of the high end control system. It's a pretty narrow market that will tend to get narrower as time wears on. Honestly, most people are just fine with flipping a light switch, and don't really care or need a Crestron or C4 monster in their home. Those systems are for the uber rich, rather than the masses.
Well, I think at the same time the masses are going to demand more and more technology. They aren’t going to be content with flipping a light switch. This is going to cause more IOT solutions.
It’s not going to be in the immediate future, but I think within a generation.
