Caavo Control Center
While the Caavo Operate Center can only control four devices at a time, it differs from Harmony's remotes in that it has a unified interface that allows you to search content on each connected device as well as a variety of streaming services. It even integrates with Sonos, allowing you to control, pause, skip, and browse your Sonos playlists directly from your TV. Streaming services can also be connected directly to the Caavo, eliminating the need for additional streaming devices. Here's a complete list of Cavvo's supported streaming apps.
The Caavo remote contains built-in voice search as well as a separate section with lists of TV and movies organized by others, which Harmony lacks. You'll need a Caavo subscription to get all of this, but you can acquire the Contro Center and a lifetime subscription for $160. You don't need a Caavo Control Center to utilize the Watch With Pals app, which allows you sync Netflix on Roku, Apple TV, and Chrome browsers so you and your friends can watch episodes at the same time.
