Agreed. I rely on the Harmony Hub (and its Alexa skill) to control my Roku (though truth be told: I use the Roku in that room less and less).

If all goes as I hope, we'll have remarkably flexible lighting in that room....

Sounds like fun! I'm currently trying to decide how to tackle multiple ceiling fans with light fixtures. Some are wired to turn both the fan and light light on (so a dimmer switch is out in that situation without disabling the fan first), and some have special "sideways" switches (basically a double-gang situation crammed into a single-gang box with a custom cover). Some are wired where the fan is turned on by pull-chain-only. Trying to decide what I can accomplish without resorting to buying new smart fans!
I don't really need the fans (especially since Symphony WaterFurnace
finally released an Alexa skill that integrates with Symphony/AWL to allow voice-control of individual zone 'stats), but ... much like climbing mountains: it's very much a "because they're there" kind of thing at this point.
Good luck with your lighting project!
