Through the use of macros (multi-step sequences) you can automate the process of turning on/off your equipment, but this
requires that you maintain a constant line of sight between your remote and your components. Universal remotes do not receive
feedback information from the equipment they control. Therefore they do not know if the correct group of components is on or
off. Using a universal remote requires that you understand the signal flow between all of your gear. If you want to remove the
guesswork, you may want to consider incorporating an automation remote control into your system.

An automation remote utilizes feedback from the components it controls and can be programmed to manage the entire system
without your direct intervention.
