Can the remote connect via IR and WiFi simultaneously?
I have my components in a nearby closet, so would like the hub to control those devices via WiFi from the remote, but also control the tv via IR. Is that possible to do simultaneously?
It depends on your setup. The remotes that come with the hub only talk to the hub and do not send any IR signal themselves (although some can if so configured) and they talk to the hub wirelessly. Therefore you can put the hub anywhere within wireless range, or if using wifi (iPhone, android) to control the hub anywhere within wifi range, and the hub will control anything that IT can sen IR signals to. Since the hub can use two (or four with splitters) IR blasters and the hub has an IR blaster built in you can control IR devices in three (or 5) separate enclosed areas. Typically this is the main room, and the shelves inside a closed cabinet, but a closet and other areas would work.
