Caavo's universal streaming remote packs machine vision for $100

 

Caavo's first shot at a smart universal remote (and the hub to match) was clever, but expensive -- at $399, you had to be a serious enthusiast to enjoy it.

Caavo's new device is available now both online and at Best Buy, although there's a caveat: you'll need a subscription to use it. While the immediate price is much lower than before, you'll have to pay $2 per month to keep the functionality going....

Caavo’s Control Center puts itself at the center of your TV viewing experience

 

In early 2017, Caavo unveiled its eponymous new device that promised to seamlessly tie together your home theater, but it was pricey and complicated to set up. The company's new Caavo Control Center slashes the price and cuts some features the original...

The Caavo Control Center is a quarter of the price of the original Caavo at just $100, but there is a slight catch: You’ll also need to pay for a $2 per month service plan in order to use the device. The Control Center is available now at Best Buy and...

REVIEW: CAAVO CONTROL CENTER

 

Caavo rethinks the universal TV remote for the second time in a year.

Fantastic as a universal remote for controlling up to four devices or consoles. Easy interface and dead-simple remote control. Lets you jump directly into Netflix and other streaming apps. Has built-in voice search. Price of entry has dropped from $400...

Setup is time consuming, and can be confusing if you encounter bugs. Occasional glitches and delays in startup. $2 per month (or $20 per year) subscription required to use voice search and playlist features.

If you can ignore the voice control hiccups, or aren’t bothered by the $20 per year subscription, Caavo is a fun product that solves a problem many of us have. It isn't yet the perfect universal remote, but I'm optimistic it could be. Consider that...

Caavo Control Center review: This universal remote unifies not just your devices but your streaming services, too

 

By dropping a new piece of hardware into your entertainment center, Caavo aims to truly unite the lot of it.

Some amazing setup tricks get some devices up and running in seconds ; Universal search across all your devices and services is a game changer ; Fairly intuitive remote with a slim learning curve

Not quite as universal as one might like ; Only four devices supported, making it imperfect for complex home entertainment systems ; Some features still rough around the edges

Caavo Control Center Review: The Universal Remote, Reinvented

 

In an era where we consume content from a variety of sources — streaming, over the air, cable, the web — finding what to watch has never been harder. Caavo's Control Center not only consolidates your remotes into one device, but it also makes a good...

Accurate voice search ; Works with a variety of devices ; Aggregates content from all your devices into one interface ; Curated lists of programs to watch

Can only connect four devices at once ; iOS app only ; Can't set content preferences ; Requires monthly subscription for many features

The Caavo Control Center combines all your devices and their content into one interface, but all its best features cost extra.
