Just got the JetStream to replace my Fire Stick 2nd Gen, and has been very impressed so far. I am trying to girlfriend-proof this; previously I used Sideclick to combine a TV remote with Fire Stick remote. What are my options for JetStream? I am just looking for rudimentary TV support (on/off/volume), it's an older TV without CEC.
I use this setup with my Shield (although mine is the one model older, no real functional difference). It will connect with (afaik) every android tv device using bluetooth then has a built in ir blaster, plus a second remote IR blaster for controlling TV, home theater, etc.

All communication is RF based to the hub so no line of site needed. The incl remote uses bluetooth or you can use the smartphone app anywhere on the same wifi network. My fave part is the remote customization, you can literally map any button on the remote to any function on any device you want using the app to set it up, as well as having 3 unique profiles on the remote for different activities. You can even set buttons to run a sequence of commands - for instance DirectTV Now Guide can be accessed with a series of keypresses in the android app, but no hotkey, I setup this sequence and assigned it to the Guide key so when in the app my wife can hit this key and the guide pops up! (Did the same for DVR page in the DTV Now app)
Maybe this is a little much for all you need? But the nice part is, it should work with anything you pickup down the road. Logitech has been pretty good at providing updates for the Harmony lineup to support new bluetooth devices. All in all, I felt it was a steal for $55 (what I paid for it about 6 mo ago)
Just buy a Google home mini and turn your TV off and on with that.
That remote looks pretty simple to me and of good quality. Unless you're looking for a second remote for her?
Did you try adding the Fire Stick remote to it? Should be able to add it via bluetooth accessories. We use fire remotes on our Android TV boxes. Might need to unpair it from the fire tv first.
