I think the niche would have to be incredibly small. Limited to people willing to spend $1300 for a wand remote to control some music, lighting, maybe some thermostats, maybe some shades. I just can't see many people using a wand style remote dedicated for those purposes. As a TV remote, no buttons makes it a non starter. I have a few Neeos in my house and hated them until we cut the cord and started streaming. However, if the did not have the hard buttons for directional buttons, select, menu, back, and volume, I would have trashed them long ago. Hard buttons are a requirement for TV usage IMHO
I thought the same thing until I started getting emails from my RTI, and quite a few Crestron customers asking about a UI specifically for this remote. The Crestron shortage may push some sales.
That is how I found out about it in the first place. Never heard of it until a couple days ago.
