Always leave it on the exact same place. If company comes let them know or you will regret it.

You can also use something like Tile, or another simple device that attaches to small objects. When you activate the item, it makes a sound so you can hear it.

I use tile on my keys and wallet, but haven’t found a suitable way to attach it to a remote.

I'm a cordcutter. I've moved to things like chromecast and apple tv, plus google home to turn things on and off. If I have my phone, I no longer even need the remote these days. Plus, I know longer have to memorize the stupid TV menus. So a win all round.

I love this. I use fire sticks, kodi and Roku, but the TV itself is still controlled by IR remote. Have you noticed any push to make the TVs app enabled for vilume?

Fortunately, I got one of the first TVs that can be controlled over the HDMI port. So Google Cast can turn the tv on/off/change volume etc when I give commands to my Google Home. You might want to look into an IR Blaster. The broadlink ones, for example, can send the same IR signals as your remote control would, and support google home. So just put a little box in front of your tv, and it will send the commands instead of your remote control.

I have a footstool with storage inside, and put it either on top of that, or inside if I'm not going to use it any time soon.

Organization is everything, so the remotes always stay in one spot and are all kept together.

This would be great IF I didn’t have a wife, kids, and dog who are apparently untrainable.

All my media is either voice controlled with a Google home or has one of those Bluetooth Beacon things on it.
