I wonder if this can replace my logitech harmony on my 10 year old tv. If so. That would be awesome

Why is IR a big deal? Does that mean the remote can control my non-smart non-CEC TV?

My soundbar is plugged into the HDMI-CEC (ARC) input and Roku Ultra into normal HDMI. The Roku remote does everything: Power, Volume. When I get this new Chromecast, will it's remote essentially perform the same functions as the Roku's does ,plugged in similarly ?

Thanks
