Smart home get a different means of control from SnapAV in the shape of the Neeo Remote-- a touchscreen remote offering "highly-refined" home entertainment control through the Control4 Smart Home OS 3 platform.

The Neeo features a sleek design, and provides users with fast access to commonly used features, such as favourite streaming services, most-watched TV stations, playlists, room- or household-level smart home scenes, and more. SnapAV says it is the first Control4 remote bringing together the benefits of hard buttons and a touchscreen, making a fully personalised smart home interface.

Construction is in machined aluminium, with protection around the edge-to-edge touchscreen. The touchscreen is a 3-inch LCD enabling one-touch navigation. Swiping to the right shows video sources, with one-touch icons for channels and an on-screen keypad to type in channel numbers directly. The most common functions, namely power, mute, volume and home, are available as hardware buttons.

“The modern smart home needs simple interfaces to start a movie, select a playlist, or lock a door. Neeo was expertly designed to be beautiful, and with Control4 OS 3, it’s also the easiest way for a family to enjoy entertainment in their homes,” SnapAV adds. “Neeo is a reflection of our obsession for creating the most elegant and simple interfaces for the refined smart home.”

The Neeo remote is available now.
