From what I read in the FAQ, you provide no solution for out-of-sight infrared unless everyone else. That's a huge NOGO if you ask me!

@diligiant Hi Frederic, thanks for the great feedback, I guess you are referring to Infrared controlled equipment located in a cabinet for example? Smart Remote itself does not come with an extender, probably an interesting accessory we can add in the future. In the mean time, you have 2 options, there are a lot of great and cheap IR extenders on Amazon that you can use with Smart Remote, and we also plan to support Logitech Harmony hub, which is slightly more expensive but offers IR extenders capability and activity based control. Hope this helps.

@simontchedikian Simon, I'm glad you didn't overlook this case because the more equipment you have, the more you're willing to hide it (your spouse may have a large share of the decision ;) You might want to add this to your Kickstarter FAQ.
Simon Tchedikian
@diligiant good point, will add to FAQ. thanks.

The Smart Remote is a great product with a unique technology, built by an amazing team. And it delivers.

Fantastic! Curious how does it work in case of devices near each other?
Simon Tchedikian
@malihsoufian Hi Soufian, great question, Smart Remote automatically shows a selection carousel letting you select the device you want to control, for any devices that are near each other (less than 20in or 50cm). You can check the GIF few questions above to see what the carousel looks like.

@simontchedikian Got it. The switching looks smooth, love it! Awesome

With almost a month to go on the kickstarter, they've already broken the highest stretch goal. I say it's time to add another stretch goal.

@maxim_price Hi Maxim, coming soon ;-)

Awesome to see that you were hunted! I backed your product a couple weeks ago and at least got early bird. Those super early birds got such a lucky price! I'm just hoping for Chromecast support and even my Blu-ray player. Then I'm fully sold/excited! 😁
Simon Tchedikian
@megaroeny Hi Reony, thanks for your support!! Actually, super early bird price went so fast (10mn...) that we increased all quantities of early bird batches to try to catch up with the wave. We got a lot of requests for Chromecast, so it is moving up in our priorities.
