More and more people turn their houses into smart homes, mainly because it's convenient, and also because it comes with a whole lot of benefits in the long run. While you can always control the smart functions through your phone, it might be better to have a remote control that everyone in the house has access to.
Linxura Smart Controller
A smart home is basically a way to make it easier to control electronics inside your house without having to walk to where they are, but there's always room for improvement, and that can come in a small round controller.
The Linxura Smart Controller is a compact and portable smart home controller that allows you to control all your smart electronics using just one device, as opposed to having multiple apps and hubs on your phone or house.
It supports integration with smart systems like Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT and directly controls other devices. If you find that some devices cannot be linked to the remote control, the company says that it will expand its compatibility with other smart home platforms soon.
The smart controller can only display four control buttons at a time, but you can always customize the functions that you use the most. There are also click actions you can assign to certain interactions with smart devices.
For instance, one click could be assigned to turning the device on while two clicks could turn it off. You can also click and hold for intensity adjustments like brightness, volume, channels, and more, all of which can be applied to the four assigned functions on the click wheel.
You won't even have to carry the Linxura Smart Controller around in your house as you can have multiple controllers throughout your home. You can have one in your kitchen, bedroom, living room, and more. The company even sells a mount for it.
Of course, with convenience comes a heavy price tag. If you want a universal smart remote controller of your own, you'll have to pay $99.99 for Linxura's smart home remote. The mount will also cost you a bit at $14.99 each.
Why Having a Universal Controller is Better
If you have a couple of smart devices installed in your home, then you already know the struggles of having different remotes and different apps for you electronics. Sure some can be controlled by one app, but there are always those that aren't compatible just yet.
You have to put in a lot of research into the devices you buy to make sure that it's compatible with your control system, and if there are no available options, you have to settle for the app it comes with, adding to the long list of control apps you have.
Since the Linxura controller is compatible with both Google Home and Alexa, you'll have a variety of smart devices you can purchase for your home, all without having different control systems. It can also be more convenient since controls won't be limited to your personal device.
