About this project

Remote 3 from Denmark's Unfolded Circle is a next-generation universal remote built to end the clutter on your coffee table. It controls virtually any device via infrared, Bluetooth or your local network, and integrates with your existing home-automation hub through a single unified interface. Unlike typical smart-home products, Remote 3 works fully locally with no cloud dependency and no subscription. The software is open source, the unit is assembled in Europe, and the Dock 3 base adds ESPHome support for endless community tinkering. Launched in June 2024, it raised roughly €1.8M (about $1.96M) against a €200,000 goal — about 899% funding from 5,067 backers, with shipping already at 100%.

Highlights

✓One remote for everything: IR, Bluetooth and LAN control replace your entire remote drawer
✓Runs fully locally — no cloud dependency, no subscription fees
✓Complements existing home-automation hubs instead of forcing a new ecosystem
✓Dock 3 with ESPHome support and open-source software for community extensions
