The “multiple remotes” issue can frustrating and confusing for everyone. Multiple devices, each with its own remote and HDMI input, create a barrier for any programming that relies on the TV as a delivery screen.
Smart TVs add another layer of complexity. The enhanced functionality comes at the expense of simplicity. The extra menus to navigate are a source of frustration. That smart TV remote doesn’t have a lot of buttons but it’s confusing in a different way – it’s non-intuitive, especially for older adults.
The Odessa simple remote was designed in collaboration with geriatric specialists to be intuitive and accessible for older hands, older eyes, and older minds.
A new update allows the Odessa remote to control SmartTV menus as well.
With this update the Odessa remote can control not only the Odessa system and cable/ satellite channels, but also smart TV navigation, effectively serving as a universal remote for basic TV operation. The Odessa remote can control major TV and cable box brands with a simple programming process.
On the Odessa remote:
- The ON-OFF and VOL buttons are programmed to the TV
- The CH buttons are programmed to the cable or satellite box
- The ARROW and OK buttons are programmed to control smartTV app menu navigation and selection
- The TV button is programmed to either the TV HOME screen or INPUT dialog, depending on the situation
- STAR, TV, and TALK are Odessa function buttons
