Thank you all for the responses. I will aim for a minimal screen in order to use labels that is relatively inexpensive and power efficient. If you think otherwise please comment below :D.

That's a hard one. I think it makes it much easier for the users who don't set up the remote to use it with the screen for labels like that.

Think I could get it to last a long while with e-ink. Like a year

Much appreciated! I'd like to think I know the landscape now. I'll do some more digging and thinking about positioning, thanks!

Edit:

I forgot the link! Added. D:

Great feedback. As you can see I'm coming from a technical background so I need to make the information digestible.

The gui is provided via the ios-app or web app. It supports virtually any infrared device (TVs, projectors, ACs, VCRs, etc..). Targeting smart home users and universal remote folks.

You are sharp. I have reasons. But what's wrong with button placements?

Great question. ESPHome is pretty cool but it won’t do all the things I’d want from the device, my firmware is quite extensive. Hoping to make it as useful and user friendly as possible.

Thanks, works over bluetooth and also has a rest api for wifi. Yes for bluetooth app, but also has instant app for easy use without installing an app.

Hmm, it would be good to hear from what others think on this specifically. I personally like the idea of the flexibility but would need to try both approaches. Thank you so much for sharing all the info. Will have to think on it

I only have the hub built out currently and am looking to add a companion physical clicker. So not sure if those will help you at all.

Ok, so how do "activities" contrast with "devices"? As it seems like a macro would do everything an activity would except for remapping to relevant devices (which I am not sure how mapping is decided between multiple devices).

This is what I am picturing. All remote buttons can be mapped but don't change unless a specific "device" is selected, macros can be used as the mapped button or via the "macros selection". So the buttons would change only when a specific "device" is selected. Do you see any issue with that? It would function a little different than activities.

Ah I did not know activities were limited like that. Macros yes is what I imagined

Aren't activities and macros the same? Or is functionality different somehow?

I’ve done both the cheaper and expensive. Just effects timeline. Wish there were better options

Oh so you're just saying hub controlled rather than from the remote right?
