@davidcasemore - Excellent answer. I love it! LOL
Do you know of a good iPhone/iPad remote control App I could use to IP control devices?
I have a few GC Flex devices with HDMI extenders.
App: I'd want to be able to design my control buttons if possible. I currently work with Kramer controls and do this for offices, but I think the required "brain" devices is overkill for home.
PS. And since you mentioned a back-up standard remote. What remotes can you get to work with IP gateways?
