I.R. Remote support?

Anyone tested Apples ir remote or possibly a Harmony on these 2018 MM's?

I'll assume the lack of an IR receiver will severely limit the usefulness of an IR remote. Right?

The iOS Remote app works pretty well at replacing the little silver remotes. I still use the remote control to quickly change the volume on my iMac and will miss its functionality.

Hello there

Personally, I use this app: https://fullcontrol.cescobaz.com/

Not perfect but it does the job.

I bought one of these last year on eBay, and MacOS recognized it natively on a Mac Pro, allowing me to pair and use an old white Apple Remote. Can't seem to find that same one listed now though.

I use Jump Desktop to access my MM from my MBP or iPad. But for PLEX Media Player on my tv I prefer to use a Harmony One.
