How to make sense of Logitech's universal remote lineup

When I was a kid there were two devices attached to the television in my family's living room: a VCR and a cable box. And we had a universal remote to tie it all together. These days, the amount of gear in my home theater is far greater and it's all more complicated, including a Roku, Chromecast, Nintendo Switch and a PlayStation 4 Pro, plus a Motorola-made cable box. And that's before you even get into my LG TV's apps, or the smart speakers. And yet, universal remotes haven't really kept up with the pace. Search any retailer and you're bound to be deluged with generic or no-name options, most of which can only handle three devices at best.
