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....

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...

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...

It also adds HDR and Atmos support

For $99 with a $2 monthly fee, the new Caavo promises to make home entertainment easier than ever.
Expert review by : Chris Burns (slashgear.com)
This week the folks at Caavo revealed a device that'll control ALL your stuff. Not your smart home stuff – this isn't about lights or sensors or anything – this is for your TV and your varied media-output devices. Caavo can connect your TV to your...
Users will be able to purchase the $100 Caavo Control Center at Best Buy online, Best Buy stores (IRL), and through Caavo dot com starting this week. You might even be able to find the device for sale right this minute. Cross your fingers it’s better...

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
Expert review by : Mike Prospero (tomsguide.com)
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.

The Caavo Control Center has been created to provide a simpler setup experience for users and supports Atmos and HDR10. Caavo explains that a Dolby Vision

Expert review by : Alex Cranz (gizmodo.com)
Finding a universal remote can be a trial, largely because the only company making a good one that works with all the major set-top boxes, TVs, and game consoles, also charges around $150 for the experience. Earlier this year a $400 challenger became...
It's only $100, it looks gorgeous and it support HDR
$100 is a lot, it only has 4 HDMI ports, and DolbyVision is not yet supported.
But for the price of a solid HDMI switch that supports HDR and 4K, I can get a really great universal remote that handles my primary devices, leaving other HDMI ports open for less used stuff like my SNES and my PS3. That’s a deal to me. The support...
