Nevo's warranty is 1 year from the date of purchase from an authorized Nevo reseller.

I can see your point from the DIY perspective.

From a professionals perspective - the Nevo product is not just a "remote control" - a remote control comes with every box we as consumers buy from our electronic retailers - the Nevo in the CI environment is the human interface to a whole house system or the media room. This is what provides the value to a $1500 control solution.

A "remote control" like those that come with DVD Players, TVs etc - has virtually no value. When a CI proposes a $1500 control solution (whether its Nevo or other brand of respectable control product) - its more than just a remote - its the homeowners gateway to enjoy their entertainment system.
