Has anyone used the Brennan EZB remote? It looks good, but I can’t find any reviews.

Good point, although I like the look of the volume knob on the EZB, and would really only need one for now. Ikea is £60 + £19 per remote, EZB is £55 in UK, so similar issue there if I decide to add more later. Thanks
I forgot that ikea changed the remote, I have round first gen ikea symfonisk remotes and ezb looks similar. The ikea stuff runs on Zigbee IIRC, if you already have a smart home hub in your home that has zigbee the symfonisk remotes wight work with it just FYI.

Looks similar in function to the ikea remote. You should buy this and post a review here😀
Yeah, looks similar to the Ikea remote but doesn’t need a separate hub so would be better for me if it’s good. I won’t be able to get the EZB for a while, but will be going to Ikea soon so any feedback from those who’ve used the EZB would be useful.

The ikea hub is $70, and each remote is $18. The EZB is $55. So any cost savings is gone if you need 2 remotes. EZB is using wifi, which is the reason it doesn’t need a hub and also why you’ll be recharging that battery often. The ikea is using a much lower power protocol, not sure which, and operates on normal AAA batteries. Should go a long time without a recharge.
