@JGrffn @m3t00 That is why it is best to try to ensure that as many components as possible are all from the same manufacturer, because generally their respective software allows you to control all your brand devices from a single application.
And that's exactly the problem, it's by design to pull you into a proprietary ecosystem and squeeze you for your money. Since companies have more incentive to make things NOT work across platforms than they do to work together, we're not getting out of this mess without government regulations in the countries that matter (so, USA and Europe.... Mostly Europe...)
Case in point: Apple and USB C, or phones and removable batteries.
@JGrffn Totally agree.
