Looking forward to it!

It's highly customizable in terms of sizing the grid for a lot of buttons or a few buttons, and buttons can be sized across 1 or all of the sections of the grid. I've laid all this out in a video. In terms of creating custom backgrounds, it's not as straightforward, but people are doing it by...

I'm still doing some more official stuff with AV NIRVANA, but I've launched my own channel for more ramblings and long-term stuff. More about the ownership user experience over time than the quick in and out reviews. There is an Unfolded Circle Discord channel that most of the community...

Watched it on Kaleidescape. It's pretty good. I think my opinions would pretty much mirror yours. I really enjoy this cast, good performances, pretty good movie.

MANY apologies on the audio for this video. I had @jack.powell join me this morning for a deep dive into his HA integration and due to my stupidity, his audio was recorded directly AND in with my mic including an echo. I made some audio adjustments which helped, but I also added subtitles...

The delay is 1000ms, my saying 'a minute' was conversational, not actual. Like saying "gimme a second" knowing it'll be more than a second. Home Assistant integrations are dependent on your Home Assistant device. I'm using a Home Assistant Green. Now that I've had some devices that were...

To be expected with a Kickstarter. I waited almost 3 years for the NEEO Remote on Kickstarter, only to have it bricked a year later when they sold the product to Control4. There were folks on a waiting list long before the Remote 3 was announce, who wanted to buy the Remote Two. Anyone who...

Home Assistant can be a great way to add devices that don't have their own dedicated integrations yet. Here's how to bring them in:

Activity Groups tell the remote what components work together in a system and/or room and how to properly move from one activity to another.

When a developer creates a Custom Integration for the UC Remote Two/3, the update process requires removal and reinstallation of the integration, and essentially you need to do both steps twice to get a complete removal an reinstallation. This does NOT remove all your custom controls and...

Next up is a very quick video showing the flexibility of the remote, including the ability to add lighting control inside of an activity or at the Home Screen level of the remote so you can control lights without having to launch an activity.

Here is a long-form configuration video. This is a long one, I'm currently working on shorter breakdowns. In this video I add some integrations to the remote and setup an activity from start to finish, including building the custom interface for that activity to create a very focused remote...

Didn't realize I hadn't been sharing much here since the Remote 3 was announced. I have received my UC Remote 3 to replace the Remote Two. This hardware really is great. Some folks are having charging issues with the Dock 3, I'm not, but it's happening. Their documentation is still extremely...

Obviously THEY shouldn't have let it go.

They should've kept the wood sides.
