How do you emulate devices? Point the remote at the flipper and it reads the signal? Do you set up a ‘fan remote’ module and program every button one by one?
If so, that actually sounds awesome. I don’t have a tech heavy house, but sitting down for a movie requires 3 remotes (TV, sound bar, light dimmer). Being able to quickly do all 3 on one device would be great. Maybe not worth $170 alone, but I bet I could find many more uses.
Get a universal remote for your home theater. Flipper isn’t really that usable and not enough buttons for that task. It can, but you’ll be much happier with a Logitech Harmony.
Honestly I’m going down a lot of HDMI-CEC magic and a Broadlink with Hone Assistant to make up the rest. Perhaps a zigbee button remote triggering some HA calls?

Harmony is EOL these days as well.
Any worthwhile alternatives? I have a SofaBaton remote. It’s… ok…
