I am selling my Remote Two that I bought from the Kickstarter. The following is included:
Remote Two
Dock
IR extender (unused)
USB-C to USB-a cable (unused)
Original box
I have been using the remote since I got it but I would say it is in a very good condition. Asking for €300 plus shipping from Sweden. Payment by Paypal or wire transfer.
Edit: open to offers if noone is interested at the listed price.
I am lowering my asking price to €275 plus shipping.
I have an Ebay account with 110 ratings 100% positive feedback if that helps with my credibility, albeit most of them are old now. I could put the remote up on Ebay but that would induce more fees.
For the Swedes of you out there I also have a Tradera account with 96 ratings and a 5.0 rating.
It’s a great piece of gear! I noticed you’ve adjusted the price to €279, which is definitely more enticing. I just wanted to share some thoughts since the Remote 3 has recently been announced at €320. Considering the small price gap, potential buyers might lean towards the newer model for a bit extra, given its updated features.
Perhaps considering a slightly lower price point might attract more interest? Just a thought! Either way, best of luck with the sale. Hope it finds a good home!
One advantage of buying the remote two from me is that you can start using it soon rather than when the Kickstarter ships, most likely next year if Kickstarter delivery history is any indication.
Other noteworthy differences are that remote two has en OLED display and physical red/green/blue/yellow buttons.
If any of the above reasons are enticing to someone out there I am happy to let my remote go. I am also open to bid offers is the asking price is too high.
Thanks but after reading up on the state of the software I think my interest declined. Might be more interested after Unfolded Circle deliver some of the planned features or the price comes down far enough. Have a nice vacation!
I am switching to remote 3 with the hope that I can configure it better for my setup. And the reason for that is not because of the remote changes, but I will add an extra dock without the charging cradle. Most likely I could just as well purchase the extra dock and combine it with the remote I have (?).
The longer story for my setup is this:
My harmony remote died long before remote two was released. I have a closed TV cabinet where I hide most of my equipment so I need to be able to control it without line of sight. The equipment is a mix of IR based and IP control.
So with the lack of a proper remote to replace the harmony I purchased a Broadlink RM4 mini for IR control and created a digital remote in home assistant that could be used on our phones. It worked well enough so that even my wife could use it.
Enter remote two and the hopes of getting a hard button remote once again. As far as I know the remote two still does not support the Broadlink RM4 so I am using the home assistant integration to send commands to the RM4. With this setup I keep getting errors on the remote, and I have not spent the energy and time to find out why. My current guess is that it is the home assistant communication that times out, because almost every time the second try works. So in the current state the remote is not usable for my wife.
And to complete the wall of text I know the remote two dock can send IR signals and has IR extenders that could be led inside the cabinet. But I want to continue to keep the cabinet as clean as possible from visible equipment and putting the dock on top of it is not an option for me.
