An instance of mine is "Watch Television" it turns on my Television (sets it to the appropriate input), Surround Sound, and Cable Box.Does operate with HTPC check Other Thoughts on how.

Good remote. I was in a position to "swap" Harmony remotes from my older Harmony to the "One"; It already knew my elements and it was easy to make the modify. It functions like a charm, straightforward to use, the rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and you can even add network icons to the remote for straightforward channel surfing with your favorites. None! If you want a nice remote that will perform with fairly a lot Every thing (stereos, TVs, lights, and so forth...) and is effortless and exciting to plan, you wil not be dissapointed with the "one".

Worked nicely for small over a year. Goes to Activity picked fine, then absolutely nothing, no control of devices, volume, channels, practically nothing. Assistance is now pay only after a year of solution ownership. What a waste of cash for a tiny more than a year of use. I would not suggest spending dollars on one particular of these, way over priced for life expectancy.

Where to start out? This is a single great remote! It is configured beautifully and nice to hold. I was in a position to use this remote like I had been working with it for years in a matter of days. Even my girlfriend completely loves it. The buttons are laid out good and all-natural. Light up buttons are wonderful in dark rooms. Recharging cradle has worked flawless . Battery life lasts about 1 week beneath heavy use. Set up is effortless. Customizing alternatives are incredible, but I wish there was a lot more now that I've played with it for so long. I enjoy the "favorite channel" set up on the touch screen. By far the ideal remote I have ever owned. Application setup was easy but a tiny time consuming. I can play with the software program for hours and delight in it. Oh, and by the way, guests to my residence are amazed when they initial lay eyes on this beauty. I constantly show it off. I love it! A little pricey, but worth every single penny in my opinion. Customizing alternatives could be much more. Hope Logitech updates application soon. Seldom does not set up an activity correctly, but the aid button swiftly remedies the situation with ease. The only Genuine con with this remote is not owning one particular. Currently controlling 12 devices with 10 activities. I have this beauty controlling the entire residence. I now have a box complete of remotes that my 2 year old son can play with. He can destroy them for all I care. My Harmony One gets hardcore usage and keeps going. I typically play with it when I'm not even channel surfing. The favorite channel icons are great. I was able to locate icons for each and every single station in the Pittsburgh PA location as effectively as all of the cable channel icons at iconharmony.com. If you are a nerd (as my girlfriend calls me), then you will appreciate this remote. Even non tech-savvy folks are blown away. Even folks who don't know squat about electronics are able to effortlessly use it the first time about. You want this remote in your life!

Good looking remote Fell off couch armrest on the initial day of use and LCD broke. No tough hit, just 25 inches onto floor! Logitech mentioned it was abuse and now I'm stuck with a 赨 anchor! Don't believe in the 1 year warranty, it will not be honored! Honor becoming the essential word here.

- Color screen- Capability to use icons - Will work with something A smaller cluster of pixels went out on the screen about 3 months immediately after I owned it. I contacted Logitech and they sent more than-night a NIB (not a refurb) remote. They certainly stand behind their items.

Operates good for several devices excepty Tv's with much more than 1 exceptional HDMI input Functions only by repeatedly going by means of the support if far more than 1 HDMI input utilised no matter what settings are employed This problem appears to be universal. I have used it with two distinct tvs, a Westinghouse and a Sony Bravia. Each exhibit the exact same lousy behavior. Just can't seem to get to the proper video input no matter how it is set up. My set up is very easy, two devices 1 connected to HDMI 1 and the other to HDMI 2, nothing at all else for video. It does get to the correct AVR settings.

As a prior owner of an Harmony 880, this remote is a fantastic upgrade. Greater layout, easier to use, battery life is very good. It translated all of my 880 setup data to Harmony One with no issue. If your considering about updating from the 880, I consider it's worth it. The touch screen is a tiny sensitive, and often I end up hitting the incorrect menu item.

Whilst it worked if was OK (not good) Really challenging to program if you have a bunch of elements. Remote gets confused at occasions and out of synch with components and is tough to get in synch once again. You need to have the individual remotes to resynch. It can be completed on the Harmony but is time consuming. Unreliable hardware. Nice style but right after 2 months of ownership and quite a few hours to get the issue programmed it just stopped working. (It was not dropped or mistreated in any way.) The will only assistance it for 90 days so apparently they know they have issues. They apparently have also recently reduce their help hours as effectively so you have to get in touch with them in the course of perform hours. Not a great practical experience. Soon after 90 days you have to spend for help to tell them it's broken. Then not positive what takes place as I haven't gotten there however. Also negative, as I require a universal remote as my wife can't run the entertainment center.It seems that a lot of of the critiques on the online and here are completed by Logitech. It seems like on newer components they have the models in their database but the functions nevertheless have to be programmed manually. Perhaps they are coasting on a former very good design and milking it for profit rather than fixing it. Also undesirable as it has possible, but they have to suppport it.

A couple of months later and it was finally configured - granted for that you have to do all your own UI programming, macros had been programmed in on a per-command basis, and so on. Eventually you get precisely what you want although, so I was a tiny worried at the idea of a Harmony remote which (to my considering) was 'dumbed down' for the masses. Consider my surprise when less than 20 minutes soon after pulling the remote off the charger I had standard functionality functioning, and in about one more hour or so (circling back two or three times, mainly because I'm a perfectionist) I was happy. My wife was in a position to pick it up and uncover her way around it with no any coaching at all from me, which is a enormous plus. All in all I see why the Harmony brand gets the credit it does in the consumer segment. Very good hand feel and create excellent, fast setup, flexible, understanding...good.

This is my 4th Harmony remote and it is undoubtedly the greatest one I have utilised. It was fairly painless to upgrade one of my current remotes to this one working with the Harmony software program. The button placement and feel are superb. Battery life with the colour screen is excellent; lasts for 1.5 weeks on typical before getting to location in charging cradle. at 赚 it is definitely not cheap. One particular other nit; utilizing the touch screen even though pointing the remote at an angle, would occasionally lead to pushing the wrong button. Newegg did its usual stupendous job of delivering this item in record time at a wonderful value. Thanks.

Effortless to program, effortless to use, controls almost everything, back lit, rechargeable It doesn't operate via telepathy???? This is a excellent remote. I drug my feet for years waiting to get a universal remote, and I'm glad I got this one. It will control something (including our Daewoo air conditioner!) - I enjoy it. For our Dish DVR, I didn't like how some of the functions have been accessed, so I produced my own buttons to do exactly what I want, so it's entirely customizable. Very straightforward to set up, really straightforward to use. I haven't had my inlaws over for the ultimate test of ease-of-use, but I'm confident the Harmony A single will pass with flying colors! Got it on Newegg as a Shell Shocker at a excellent value, and totally free shipping that got it to me overnight! I love Newegg as significantly as this remote! If you're on the fence about this remote - hesitate no more! It's worth the dollars.

The on the web remote codes database has just about each and every household theater, computer system, and electronic device like appliances, fans, residence manage, and so forth. in it. If you can't locate the device or the individual button, this remote can discover it. Touch screen has area for 6 touch buttons, and you can have quite a few pages of buttons. Remote appears quite sharp, feels wonderful in hand, is simple to use in dark space w/ all backlit buttons & screen, and rechargeable battery (recharger included) lasts a friggin long time. Setup wizard and device setup is difficult and sometimes downright difficult. Almost everything is gui, calls for an world wide web connection, and forces you by way of wizards w/ a bunch of concerns that may not give you the selections you will need. Remote is all challenging polished plastic, I'm terrified of dropping it. Price tag is steep for a remote control, I mean c'mon, it's a remote manage. Get via the initial setup as rapidly as you can. Only add 1 device and 1 activity. When out of the initial setup, scrap the activity and the device. Start over at the device screen. Get the default layout for a single device setup, download it to remote, and use it for a bit. Then go back into that device and go by way of all the other customization selections. You could need to customize and download to remote a half dozen times to get a device setup perfectly. Then move on to your subsequent device. After you get all your devices setup and operating pefectly, THEN AND ONLY THEN operate on the activities. I personally don't use the activities - generally they are just complex macros that automate every little thing for you. But mainly because this is IR, the remote can't know the state of any device, so points go wrong in the activities if you do alot of individual device fiddling like I do. From time to time you may have to setup a device based on *** how is it utilized *** rather of the type of device or its name.

For a 赨+ remote you would & really should expect a lot for that price tag and this remote delivers. It replaced six remotes including an old Technics Cassette Recorder and an old Sony VCR, all inside their database No code variety or testing, no obtaining it "learn" buttons from an additional remote. All configuration was by way of the software program. I didn't even have to study the directions: Downloaded the most recent software program from the Logictech web site, installed, and then merely typed in the model quantity of the components to be controlled. I've study about the activities buttons, but didn't realize that the setup would be so uncomplicated, just answer the questions, the computer software does the rest. You can even tweak the activities screen function & add function buttons to it if the default ones somehow isn't to your liking. I actually identified features of my components I under no circumstances knew existed simply because the original remotes obscured where they have been or how to access them. The assist button is also properly thought out. 1. Quantity Important placement at the bottom is awkward so that it makes the remote top heavy. two. The necessity of the docking station, while I comprehend it is suppose to add convenience by automatically recharging it, I'd rather NOT have to place the remote down in the vicinity of outlets, personally I want the batteries would final lengthy adequate so as not to call for continuous recharging. three. No PS3 handle devoid of extra purchase of item. I could have most likely purchased a single of the lower finish Logitech Remotes 黼, 550, and so forth) and have been happy with it's performance as this remote is replacing a ฤ Sony Universal remote with horrible multi-element functionality, but I figured I'd invest in this remote in the thought that it is sophisticated sufficient to have all the characteristics a remote can have now and in the future.I am just hoping that the build quality is as very good as the attributes on this remote as I don't want to have a 赨 piece of plastic soon after the warrantty expires.

took a whilst to determine to fork out the 赨 to purchase it glad i did.works all my devices(dvr,reciever,dvd,tv). press 1 button and everything that you want to come on does. easy to plan, just hook up the usb cable to the computer and system away. easily learns your other remotes by merely pressing a handful of buttons on the host remote during programing. first remote wouldn't charge the battery, following a couple of emails to logitech they decided it was defective. sent a new one particular in a couple days, no charge to send the old one particular back as they stated to destroy it. wife was against it at initial now she loves it. she desires a single for the bedroom now, havent attempted it yent but i believe with some programming it need to work there as well.

simple to use, programing was a breeze. Sad does not function with Wii or PS3... at least the PS3 has an adapter you can acquire. xbox 360 requires direct line of sight, although my samsung monitor and my logitech amp picks up the signal from practically anyplace, so it's in all probability just the new 360. straightforward to use, the assistant is seriously annoying pops up every time you start out an activity. But all and all an remarkable remote. No Wifi, or blue tooth broadcast. Requires a bit of fiddling with settings to get it to function ideal for you and your circumstance on exactly where everything is situated We have the ability to do a wifi, IR, and blue tooth broadcast in one particular remote... why don't the producers do this?

Lastly have just a single remote on the table & anything operates. It isn't inexpensive to be so cool. This is the third Harmony remote I've had. The initially 1 was hard to set up (many years ago), but the application is much better now. The buttons on the initially 1 wore out from use. The second one was stepped on by my 11 year old son (the LCD show failed but the remote worked). As others have stated, if you know how you have your components interconnected then it is straight forward. My setup was particularly rapid due to the fact I upgraded from the 610 to the One. The Harmony A single utilized all of the 610 settings from within the Pc software program.By the way, the default speed that the macro pushes out commands to every of the devices in sequence has worked fine for both remotes. I suppose a tiny tweaking could fine tune the speed, but I'm not convinced that it would be worth the additional effort.Components Utilized:Vizio VF550XVT1A 55" LCD TelevisionPioneer VSX-819H AV ReceiverDirecTV HR23 DVR ReceiverSony PlayStation three Nintendo WiiI'll try setting up the iPod subsequent with the AV receiver

This remote has made my life considerably much easier. First off, I don't devote time hunting for the proper remote. The on the net programming interface is essentially really simple to use and has alot of attributes but you don't need them all. I study a assessment that said "if you add a component you will need to have to go by way of the complete interview once more". This is not accurate. You can add a element or make changes to the commands that it offers to any element. It's accurate that you want to login to the Harmony site, make the desired modifications and then download the alterations to the remote by way of your computer systems USB port. I only made 1 modest tweek but it took only minutes to do though I was fully engulfed in programming and setup mode and I type of delight in carrying out it. i assume the web site is setup although to make it easy for any person of low to moderate tech capacity. The bst part about this remote- it's uncomplicated for my wife and children to use, I don't get these frustrated calls "how do you watch a DVD?" and so forth, also rechargable! ++ The expense is nonetheless high. What you get is good computer software interface and internet site programming and as we have learned from Apple this makes the distinction and expenses a lot more. This is an infrared remote and not wireless so if an individual walks in front of it or you stop pointing your remote when you give a multi command promt (ie "watch DVD") then it may well not switch all components properly, then the very best factor to do is turn off all units and give the command again. This has only occurred to me three or four times in 6 weeks but it does take place. I am worried about the touch screen acquiring damaged from a drop by the little ones but so far they appreciate and respect the unit and look to be extremely carefull. the touch screen is extremely beneficial part of the remote. Also ALL buttons and screen light when you choose it up and it senses motion so it's awsome in the dark. The arrow shapes of FF, REW, quit. guide and so on all are readable in the dark. I'm extremely pleased

I purchased this a whilst ago as I have enough audio/video gear to make use of it. I have had many remotes in the previous but this a single is the most inclusive of the group. If a button doesn't do what you require a good number of commands are on the touch screen. When you have to use the touch screen for a specific command it can be a bit of a kludge. Many times the number of options calls for flipping via multiple screens to find the ideal a single. My one particular con is stll a great deal improved than obtaining to go through the drawer to come across the correct remote and then obtain the correct button on it to do the a single tiny factor you want. I am tremendously pleased with this remote and would purchase again if needed?

-Battery life lasts months just before needing to be recharged in the cradle-Actually controls all IR devices-Wise functions to turn on all required devices, and switch them to the correct inputs, although turning off all other folks not in use. -A single touch all off button turns every little thing the remote has turn on, to off. None with the remote, nonetheless the software:-is slow to update the remote with the new settings. -has to be connected to the net. One particular remote to control it all. It would be nice if the remote had much more selections, for the remote itself. The software program allows for advanced settings such as maintaining my HTPC and FiOS box on at all instances, even when the 'all off' button is pressed.

Macros are handy, once you get them programmed; which is not often easy. I purchased it so I would only have 1 remote on my sofa. I now have seven rather of six. It's just too inconvenient fishing around in the Logitech's sub-menus for less-often utilized commands to remove the original remotes . 1 other point: Either my finger is too large or the touch screen is as well little. This is the third "universal remote" I've owned over the previous 20 years. None have ever gotten the job performed nicely.
