Here is the one I used that I got at BestBuy clearance for $38. Currently its back up to its standard pricing of $129 but you can get it on Amazon for certified refurbished units for $99.99 or if you really want to go the least expensive route you could go for only the Harmony Hub component and use your smartphone as the remote control.

In short . . . Harmony is your only clean solution and a connected smart plug . . . Small investment compared to the hours of not weeks nd months you’d have trying to find another solution.
[/quote] I totally agree. @jwflutterby I don’t know about you but if I told my wife I was going to downgrade our Harmony Hub activities features back to a simplistic universal TV remote I would have to be in marriage counseling. LOL 
You just can’t compare a simplistic Samsung universal TV remote function to the power of Harmony activities.
