I am still a big fan of Re and use it for all my devices. However, I still believe that improvements can be made in the hardware. I fully understand that you want to remain competitive, but please consider one of two options for hardware. A WiFi connected IR device that communicate to the Re, advantage – placement of device in another room, power to device is still available. A RF extender that works well and does not look stupid. I don't understand why tech designers still make things look ugly, it is too easy to make them attractive and functional. Also, improving the attached device to look more attractive and send a stronger signal ( I have to point right at the IR receiver to get a response.

Keep up the great work and I look forward to more improvements in software and hardware.
