I bought one and used it a handful of times, if you're not really into this kind of thing, it will pretty much sit in a drawer.


This is mostly true. The out of the box functionality even with custom firmware is not spectacular. There are a lot of functions with no suggestions of why I would care to use them.

I am hopeful that this device gains enough of a following that it becomes more usable over time, because the concept is great. Even though the TVbgone has existed for decades it’s still a great party trick. And I don’t mind having a single device that can back up fobs, either.


Mine sits in the drawer but it was fun to tinker around with for a few days. Life gets in the way of some things.


Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.


Can I have it?
