Higher end harmony's also do IR/RF/Wi-fi

Yes, but they are costly. And isn't it much more fun and satisfying to make your own? This is a board for making and modding things, not buying things. :facepalm:

I really like the idea and will be following this as I'm a real lightweight when it comes to microcontrollers and programming. I'd love to take this project when done and modify it further to suit my own ideas.

Guess it is always cooler to make one yourself = D

I would think the most useful feature in a universal remote would be a speaker. Press a button on the TV/whatever to make the remote start playing ringtones until found and deactivated.

The really nice feature of the remote?

I have an IR HTPC keyboard.

This will enable me to use both the physical board and the remote.

Saw this today on Hackaday.com. Thought it might be an interesting read for you.
