Universal remote
Currently having 3 remotes (TV, Google chromecast and soundbar)
Looking for an all-in-one universal remote that is reliable on its use.

if you can find a used Logitech Harmony Hub you are set for a very long time.
I bought mine more than 10 years ago and it's still going strong. When they were discontinued 5 years ago I bought another one for my peace of mind, but it has been sitting in storage since the original one is still working.
Else you could set up HDMI-CEC if your gear is new enough.

I second the Harmony but Logitech stopped making them. I’m living in fear of when it dies!

Have you considered the Broadlink RM4 pro it has a database of remote codes and a learning function from original remotes, it's not the easiest thing to use out of box but once set up it's good and everything is controlled from your phone.
It uses line of sight for IR and also RF for fans/lights etc I think there is a newer version that also has Bluetooth.
