The BroadLink RM4 Mini at around 40 dollars is the time-served classic - just buy the RM4, not the discontinued RM Mini3 that still lurks in listings. The BroadLink RM4 Pro at around 60 dollars is the only one that adds 433MHz RF for blinds and ceiling fans, and the SofaBaton X1S at around 288 dollars puts real buttons back in a home-theatre hand.
