Priced at $199, the remote features a sleek design aesthetic and touchscreen interface that is completely devoid of physical buttons. This likens the remote to a smartphone or other touchscreen device one might find in the home to let users enjoy a more intuitive experience. The Sevenhugs Smart Remote U is compatible with over 650,000 smart home devices and also features WiFi, Bluetooth and infrared connectivity. The remote control comes as a strong competitor to other smart control devices on the market and helps offer consumers a dedicated way to manipulate the solutions in their home without their smartphone in hand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Entry-level Smart Home Remotes:** The rise of entry-level smart home remotes allows for more accessible and intuitive control of smart home devices for consumers. - **Sleek Design Aesthetic for Smart Home Remotes:** The inclusion of a sleek design aesthetic for smart home remotes allows for a more desirable and fashionable addition to any home automation setup. - **Increased Compatibility for Smart Home Remotes:** With the increasing compatibility of smart home remotes with over 650,000 smart home devices, consumers can now have control over all devices with one device. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart Home Automation:** The smart home automation industry can integrate these entry-level smart home remotes to provide a more user-friendly experience for consumers and gain a competitive edge. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can create innovative and aesthetically pleasing smart home remotes to appeal to consumers and take advantage of the growing smart home market. - **Internet of Things (iot):** The IoT industry can use the increased compatibility of smart home remotes to integrate with a wider range of devices, improving overall connectivity and user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Universal Smart Remote Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-smart-remote-controller.md) - [Smart Home Controller Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-remote-controller.md) - [Omni-Control Smart Home Remotes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linxura-smart-home-controller.md) - [Intuitive Touchscreen Remote Controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchsense-remote.md) - [Configurable Concave-Button Remotes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-liza-remote.md) - [Wearable Gesture Control Remotes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-wearable-controller.md) - [Dedicated Smart Home Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-automation-control-pad.md) - [T-Shaped Remote Controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sightless-remote-control.md) - [Centralized Smart Home Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelly-wall-display-x2i.md)
