Fw: Best Remote - Opinions

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends if you think a remote control is actually automation.

I think mine is automated as the system (ie CBUS and Comfort) directly
control all the AV - not just on and off, but off when system is armed,
off when no activity in the room for 2 hrs, etc, etc.

Also does auto switching when XBMC is activated (switches amp for me,
detects XBOX voltage for current status, switches plasma on if its not
already)

A remote control in your hand wont do all that

It's remote from the devices it's controlling...and it uses infrared and

Which would clearly remove it from the 'best remote' category as per the
question?
