Wonder Features
The key wonder is how it simplifies complex home entertainment setups. Think of controlling your TV, sound system, and streaming device with a single tap.
Activity-Based Control
Instead of controlling individual devices, you create "Activities" like "Watch TV" or "Listen to Music" that automatically power on the necessary devices and switch to the correct inputs. This is a huge time saver.
Enchantment Shapes
The enchantment comes from the user interface, which attempts to be intuitive. However, setting up this system can be a barrier to entry.
User Interface Enchantment
While functional, some users find the interface dated. Improved customization options could enhance the user experience.
