That's a real shame. People still use A/V receivers or you really want to just use the awful built-in speakers? It also allows me to select activities so I can press one button and the service I want (through AppleTV, another thing going away) pulls up. Further, my AV receiver and Apple TV are in a different room than the TV so I need something that works with RF. That's just pretty bad news...

To use a phone, I have to switch from what I'm doing, which likely includes unlocking the phone usually, run the app, then execute the command.

For me, it's the physical remote I will miss, However, designing my own touch screen remote layout and 3d printing a physical cover with physical buttons I can feel ??..... hum - have to think about that.

Another non cloud based option:
JP1 remotes (here using One for all-9910+ RF emitters/extenders)
Also a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it you can get rid of all your stock remotes and customize things the way you like.
Great support community so upgrades/codes are easy to find or you can quite easily generate new ones if needed.
You can even create custom protocols to interface with HS and control any event/action you want.
